How Search Really Works
How do search engines like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo manage to sift through billions of web pages to find the exact information you’re looking for in a matter of seconds? The answer lies in a complex system involving algorithms, indexing, and ranking.
At the core of search engines is a vast database called an index. This index is essentially a catalog of all the web pages that the search engine has crawled and understood. Each page is assigned a unique identifier and is categorized based on its content.
When you enter a search query, the search engine’s algorithm analyzes the words and phrases you’ve used. It then consults the index to find web pages that are relevant to your query. The algorithm uses a variety of factors to rank the search results, including:
- Relevance: How closely do the words on the webpage match your search query?
- Authority: How reputable is the website? Is it a well-known and trusted source?
- Link popularity: How many other websites link to this page? This is a measure of its importance and relevance.
- User experience: How easy is it for users to find the information they’re looking for on this page?
- Page loading speed: How quickly does the page load? Faster pages are generally preferred.
The search engine’s algorithm constantly evolves to improve the quality of search results. New factors are added and existing ones are refined based on user feedback and data analysis.
By understanding how search engines work, you can optimize your own website’s content and structure to improve its visibility in search results. This can help you attract more visitors and achieve your online goals.
New ChatGPT model designed to break down problems, ‘think’ before responding
OpenAI, the company that brought you ChatGPT, has released a new AI system that isn’t just designed to spit out quick answers to your questions, it’s designed to “think” or “reason” before responding.
Officially called o1 but nicknamed Strawberry — it can solve tricky logic puzzles, ace math tests, and write code for new video games.
However, for many simpler queries, ChatGPT is a better choice.
How Google Makes Custom Cloud Chips That Power Apple AI And Gemini
Google was the first cloud provider to make its own custom AI chips, called TPUs, when they first came out in 2015 – a trend both Amazon and Microsoft followed years later. Now, Apple has revealed it uses TPUs to train its AI models, positioning Google chips as an alternative to Nvidia’s market-leading GPUs. CNBC got an exclusive look inside the lab where Google makes its chips, and its top executive showcased TPU Version 6, Trillium, and its new Arm-based CPU, Axion, both coming out later in 2024.
This Next Billion-Dollar Startup Wants To Save American Manufacturing
Hadrian founder and CEO Chris Power has raised $180 million to manufacture metal parts at warp speeds at his California factory. Now he wants to build dozens more across the country to make more parts better, faster and cheaper. Power’s vision is somewhat different from other startups building tech to make other companies’ warehouses more efficient: He’s developed proprietary software to run Hadrian’s own factory, which allows it to churn out all types of precision metal parts for aerospace, space and defense companies faster, more efficiently and with fewer people. Now he wants to build out a network of cookie-cutter, high-tech machine shops across the country to shake up a giant and fragmented industry. That’s a difficult and capital-intensive project, but one that Power argues is crucial for America’s industrial base. Investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund and Lux Capital, have bet $180 million on it, and the company is now worth roughly $500 million.
OpenAI Introduces AI Models With Reasoning Abilities
OpenAI is releasing a new AI model that can perform some human-like reasoning tasks. The company says the new model, known internally as “Strawberry,” can handle complicated math and coding questions. Annabelle Droulers reports on Bloomberg Television
Former SpaceX engineer invents a “Robotic Blacksmith Army” | Hard Reset
It takes years to fix a complex fighter jet. Robo-factories could do it at the click of a button.
Automotive parts manufactured in the morning, aerospace parts manufactured at noon: Machina Labs’ factory of the future is rethinking manufacturing with roboforming.
Roboforming is a revolutionary way of shaping metal using robots and artificial intelligence. To keep up with our ever-shifting digital world, manufacturing needs to deviate from the standard practices established decades ago that most of the industry is still following.
Machina Labs is taking manufacturing to the next level by making it more nimble and accessible, no huge factories required. They’re approaching the industry with one big idea: What if custom manufacturing could be just as affordable and efficient?
Quantum Computers: What Are They & How Will They Change The World?
Scientists are working on the revolutionary technology of quantum computers, which promise to do everything from curing cancer to instantly hacking every computer on the planet.
Infinite Range Electric Car – DIY Build
Ever wondered why we can’t make an electric car that’s fully powered by solar panels to provide an unlimited range? This video is a lighthearted take on building an infinite range electric car that uses solar panels to provide unlimited energy. The car has dual 3000W ebike motors to reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h, a 48v 4000w/h LifePO4 battery, 1575w of total solar production.
