duckduckgo-locales VS Searx

There's been several. And I wouldn't be surprised if more are still there, or more get introduced.

A 'cut and shut'?

Where do you live for that to be legal?

Did any of this come up for you when you built this?

Is this a rabbit hole

But the UI is neat -- but it REALLY needs a minimap in the corner that will give me the path of my Rabbit's Warren.

Also navigate by WSAD like Bards Tale - and walk through the concept map with keyboard.

As mentioned, something like it already exists inside Linux. Maybe it could be pulled out and turned into an app library, if it's so much better than a heap queue. Info: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=timer+wheel+linux

I remember writing a heap queue in C++ myself because std::priority_queue had some kind of shortcoming whose specifics I don't remember. Maybe I can find that program and check what it wanted. It wasn't a performance issue, but rather, something I needed was missing from the stdlib API and I remember thinking that it was silly that they omitted it.

As the article is overtly political, I'll make a political response and cut to the chase:

Trump is the most for-sale candidate and president in history. He solicited $1B in campaign contribution directly from a meeting with oil execs, in return for signing any Executive Orders they cared to submit.

As for Vance, he was brought to Silicon Valley and re-tooled, Manchurian-like, then sent back to Washington.

How about DDG AI Chat? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=DuckDuckGo+AI+Chat&ia=chat&duckai=...

Search engines usually have a date filter. Here's DDG searching "wordpress" between 2000 and 2005.

I assume Google supports something similar, but I've stopped using it.

My son took this album to scout camp. https://duckduckgo.com/?hps=1&q=%22Music+Out+of+the+Moon%22&...

Backstory is they weren't allowed to bring electronics to camp so he brought a portable, 1921 hand crank 78 player, some bakelite 78s and extra needles.

I think searx was largely built by a single person.

https://github.com/searx/searx

I use Recoll to index all of it. Recoll WebUI exposes an API, which I plugged into Searx.

The quality of Google search results has been awful for many years now, but if you still want to use it, the only usable way is via a frontend like Searx[1]. Using any of Google's frontends for any of their services is an exercise in frustration from dodging ads and fighting their hostile UI.

RSS-Bridge has a Google search adapter. You can also fake it with Searx (which offers RSS feeds of search results).

I've recently wondered how effective local models were at chaining together thoughts as proposed in https://ofir.io/self-ask.pdf. Turns out they are indeed capable of doing so while also creating reasonable chains of thoughts that are easily as good as OpenAI's models. To make it completely free to run I used SearX running inside a Docker container with a second model curating the search results for the main model to get answers from the web.
