corentin88··on How Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) rewrites the rules of search
> In a world where AI is the front door to commerce and discovery, the question for marketers is: Will the model remember you?

So the question for marketers is: how do you get into the model. And once you are in, how do you outperform others that are in the model too?

corentin88··on Chrome's New Embedding Model: Smaller, Faster, Same Quality
Apparently, it’s for fighting scams: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/how-were-usin...
corentin88··on For $595, you get what nobody else can give you for twice the price (1982) [pdf]
Looks like a (web) Landing Page to me. Funny that the marketing UI is still the same.
corentin88··on AI is killing some companies, yet others are thriving – let's look at the data
Content marketing is dead. AI has killed it. One of our main marketing channels was writing SEO-oriented articles on our company’s blog. The traffic has steadily decreased over the last year despite huge efforts.

That doesn’t mean SEO is dead though.

corentin88··on Introducing deep research
Curious about the use cases here. Building AI Agents? But which one?
corentin88··on JavaScript Temporal is coming
I have one question: why ˋTemporal`? That looks weird to me. Why now `Time`?
corentin88··on Tldraw Computer
That might look like a toy, but that kind of remind me the Minority Report screen, where you see Tom Cruise moving things with a hand-mouse device.

The UI built by Tldraw is different from a chat interface. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good fit to interact with an AI/LLM.

I definitely see this in the hands of kids, just like they are great interfaces to code video games without writing a line of code.

OpenAI is diversifying a lot, and I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

It’s great to ship fast. But you need to maintain things as well. And that requires even more time and engineers and money in the end.

There’ll definitely be projects within OpenAI that will be shutdown in a few months, just because it hasn’t caught and/or engineers want to work on something new.

That’s how Google worked in the 2000s - shipping new things fast - but then there was Reader and now they lost everyone’s trust.

corentin88··on US house prices in 1950 vs. 2024, accounting for inflation
Should have say "high-income countries" instead of "developed" countries. Thanks for pointing that out.

Had no data for low/middle income countries, but thanks as well for reporting that it’s a global issue.

corentin88··on US house prices in 1950 vs. 2024, accounting for inflation
Now the next question is why? Why the houses prices have surged in the past decades. And why is it a worldwide situation (at least in developed countries)?
corentin88··on Gmail AI Agent: Automate Your Inbox with AI-Powered Telegram Commands
Related, we recently released an AI Email Assistant available as a Google Chrome extension for Gmail: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mailmeteor-ai-email...
corentin88··on I quit Google to work for myself (2018)
That’s the guy who created TinyPilot. Since then he wrote yearly articles about it’s IndieHacker journey. Some of them have been shared on HN. Worth reading!
corentin88··on Why don't we use awnings anymore (2022)
This website is full of ads…
corentin88··on Ask HN: Do You Google Less?
That’s likely due to the improvements made to the AI models. I don’t think ChatGPT 3 could have made me changes my search habit. But recent models are really impressive now.

Also, I know you shouldn’t trust what the AI says, but you shouldn’t trust either what the Internet says.

corentin88··on Google Maps not being linked from Google Search results page
As a European user, it’s kind a frustrating. You search for a place in Google Search, lose a few seconds to find the maps, only to open Google Maps after a few seconds…
corentin88··on Google Closure Library has been archived
It was announced a few months ago: https://github.com/google/closure-library/issues/1214
corentin88··on Architectures for Central Server Collaboration
Having tried to implement a multiplayer rich text, we settled on last-edit win to simplify the structure.

OT/CRDT is really hard to implement.

corentin88··on Anonymous Source Shared Leaked Google Search API Documents
> #4: Employing Quality Rater Feedback
corentin88··on Big data is dead (2023)
No mention of Firebase? That might explain the slow decrease of MongoDB.
corentin88··on I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
Which startup/company was bought that price?
corentin88··on Almost every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret
Curious about the mention of buying IPs. Anyone else can share feedback/thoughts on this?
corentin88··on What I learned selling my company
I would add that you need to build a company that will keep running once you’ve left.

Otherwise, no one will buy it, or the price will be much lower than you expect.

corentin88··on Posthog is closing their Slack community in favor of forum
I’m afraid SPAM will ruin that effort. Running a pretty decent forum on Google Groups, we’ve been hit by spam recently and you have to restrict posts seriously to combat the attack.
corentin88··on Wikipedia Provenance
Just saw it on Youtube:

> France Info is a French public broadcast service. [Wikipedia (French)](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Info_(offre_globale)?wp...)

Curious why YT forwards analytics data to Wikipedia.

corentin88··on Gmail, Yahoo announce new 2024 authentication requirements for bulk senders
Agreed. I shared the same view here: https://mailmeteor.com/blog/new-gmail-protections
corentin88··on Stocketa – An app I designed, built and never launched
I thought at first that this guy was more focused on building vs shipping. And that was likely the main reason why he stopped yet another side project.

But this guy is now behind Rewind.AI so he probably knows a bit about shipping! Kudos for sharing your journey

corentin88··on Buildkite has removed their $9 "Team" plan
It might be a simple test and they might bring it back someday
corentin88··on Graph Mining Library
Interesting fact: the first commit is 2 years old and is entitled "Boilerplate for new Google open source project".

Either they rewrite git history or it took about 2 years to get approval on making this repo public.

corentin88··on Thoughts on Open Source Drama
I was astonished when DHH just merged the PR removing Typescript, without even considering comments or feedback from the community.

Nicholas is right that open source maintainers owe us nothing. They have their own objectives. And if they decide to do something, like removing Typescript, it’s up to them.

But open source is also about building a community around your software. For small and large projects. DHH and Nicholas are kind of missing this part. You can’t expect users to trust you and continue using your software, if all of a sudden, you change just about everything.

corentin88··on Why does every() return true for empty arrays?
While JS might be "unexpected" sometimes, I like very much that the reason behind this behavior is a mathematical concept.
