This reminds me a lot of simhashing e.g. https://matpalm.com/resemblance/simhash/


Most likely because it is older. WinRAR was first released 1995 according to Wikipedia, 7-Zip 1999.


I am guessing that there is not a a lot of secrecy needed because the SEO team is not the search team.


Right, I meant the search team. oh well.


Hi,

I don't use a extra full-text search for my browser history. Why? Because usually searching the headlines and/or urls is enough.

In order to fulltext-search all the webpages one has to crawl and index all the pages first. While crawling might be easy (since you visit the pages anyways), indexing and then searching is a bit more tricky.

One idea for a useful homebrew plugin might be to make use of Google Custom Search. Since Google is quite good at crawling, indexing and searching this might be something to look into.

I am interested if you come up with something useable.

Regards, Valentin


I totally agree. All other options did not satisfy my need for a replacement.


Google Analytics Experiments


spell correction is somewhat of the most popular and easy to understand problems where machine learning can help. For example: several user enter a misspelled word and then correct them in the next step. If this happens often enough you might infer that the second word is most probably the correct version, especially if the second word has a small levenshtein -distance to the first.


You can use it this way. But what does the data tell? Group A is definitely performing better than group B or better it is not a random coincidence that group A is better performing.


Very cool. Does anyone know why some areas are somewhat blueish. And what about the very bright stars?


The colors are a bit arbitrary. The sensor that takes these images only records intensity and not color. Different filters are placed over the sensor to record different wavelengths. Not all of these wavelengths are visible light. The colors are a mapping of these wavelengths to the visible spectrum.


The very bright stars are just very close, dozens of lightyears instead of hundreds or thousands.


An interesting idea. Do you believe he can succed?
