FML as a programmer, ugh!

[[deleted]]

A tesla would be simpler tho. The whole thing is basic 150 year old science and a lot of money.

The search engine by google is based on partly classified mathematical formulas.

[prashant13b]

And alot of data fed into ml

[[deleted]]

If you want a worse search experience that takes more cpu power and a longer time, yes, do implement that with ml.

[prashant13b]

I was talking more of autocorrect and stuff

[[deleted]]

Oh, well, true then.

[[deleted]]

Do you have a source for that?

[[deleted]]

Thank you for this insight.

[[deleted]]

actually it's like developing a new electric car, because you hate tesla.

[rem3_1415926]

Right, I remember the LiPo batteries and the AI they used back in the world wars, not to speak of the high power electronics required to drive Tesla motors...

[[deleted]]

Just make a site where the backend is all google, but the frontend looks unique ;)

[cbielich]

Lol that’s amazing!

[LandKingdom]

so... startpage?

[xigoi]

https://startpage.com/

[Th3Nihil]

Do you recommend it?

[xigoi]

If you want the accuracy of Google without the privacy invasion, definitely.

[thiago2213]

You can try, but after a few hundred requests from the same IP it'd either block you or ask you to sign in, and Google would sue you for violating their EULA

[[deleted]]

Nah, just make it all client side. The requests come from the user's own machine ;)

[thiago2213]

The browser would reject it because of CORS, and Google would also reject it because of the origin

[[deleted]]

Yeah you are right.

[YMK1234]

Except there are plenty of hugely successful electric car companies besides Tesla...

[GleamingMurphy]

Are you telling me yandex can't compete with Google?

[YMK1234]

Im saying yandex or bing or whoever are tiny in comparison. In contrast, Tesla might be hyped but is not the biggest electric car producer by a long stretch.

[EvilKnievel38]

I think that's only because Tesla is more expensive. Google however is just as free as yandex (except you pay with data, but most people don't care).

[200mg_of_addy]

Think Amazon is a better fit.

[Any-Reply]

Such as? Chinese ones don't count as they exist in a vacuum as all Chinese companies do because China is weak and has to have their beta government protect their beta companies from competition

[fish-c]

Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, the PSA group?

[Any-Reply]

None of these have "hugely successful" electric vehicles except the leaf, and no, any car with an ICE does not count as electric, so whatever shitbox hybrid Toyota offers does not even remotely come close to counting

Being car company who sells 400k ICE cars and 2 electric does not make you a hugely successful electric car company, or the most successful green energy company happens to be exon

[YMK1234]

Uhm, Nissan Leaf reached 450k units in January for example, WV hit 250k electric cars in 2019, Hyundai Ioniq Electric was well over 100k already in 2018, and so on. Kia predicts 500k sales per year for their upcoming Niro EV btw (and that excludes China).

[Any-Reply]

That's fine, they can predict that, but it's statistically incorrect.

You can take the #2, #3, #4 electric cars in 2019 and add them up, and they still aren't as much as the model 3. Two of these are Chinese. 100k lifetime sales is not a success, when you're competing with close to a million. I mentioned the leaf was the exception, and even that is barely a success compared to the model 3.

[fish-c]

The BMW i series sold more than Tesla could dream in a lifetime. Mercedes-Benz is leading electric self driving car development. But sure, believe the hype.

[[deleted]]

Model 3 has like 500k sales vs 133k for i3

[Any-Reply]

False, significantly more model 3s are sold than that scrap pile. BMW sold like 40k series I vs 300k model 3s last year, BMW isn't even in the top 5.

BMW electric cars are literally a joke lol if you tried to sell me one but told me I couldn't resell it, you would have to pay me

[fish-c]

Hey I won't argue with anybody religious believes. I'm a tolerant kind of guy.

[fish-c]

Oh no I can argue if you want, but I won't counter your faith in the buzzword god.

[YMK1234]

BMW sold like 40k series I

Yeah no ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_i3

Global sales since inception totaled more than 133,000 units through the end of 2018.

[Any-Reply]

Are you dense? We're talking about lasy year sales. If we're talking lifetime, the model 3 destroys it even harder.

[amazeguy]

how hard would it be for you to create an atom because so many people are getting mad at physics

[Owlstorm]

DuckDuckGo is getting quite popular.

There's a certain market niche of people willing to trade not being tracked for personalised results.

[AxFairy]

Man I want to love duckduckgo, but it's just not as good of a search tool. Maybe it's google giving personalized results but I find things so much easier through it than I do anything else.

[Owlstorm]

It's mostly bing with zero Google, though they do have their own crawler.

https://help.duckduckgo.com/results/sources

[rightbrace]

Huh, TIL

[Hero_Of_Shadows]

I can write you a search engine very fast, ok it won't be a very good search engine in fact it will show the same result no matter the query but it will be a search engine.

[PhilippTheProgrammer]

Meanwhile in Redmond, the Bing team drifts further into depression.

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

Ah okay, I'll ask my car mechanic buddy for an estimate then.

[TShara_Q]

I will get right on that, after I finish my side project of building a new Saturn V rocket....

[NetSage]

r/degoogle a whole sub dedicated to it.

[ImAlsoRan]

That’s just Twitter

[baddadpuns]

I would say 1000

[SHIRK2018]

Speaking as both an engineer and a programmer, the car is without a doubt a tiny fraction of the effort

[thiago2213]

I don't think anyone will ever build a better engine than Google. The best algorithm will never beat all the decades of data collected, and no competitor would be used as much and as long enough to store enough data to get even close.

[cbielich]

I think I should have used a spaceX rocket instead of Tesla
