mircea_popescu: srsly, the diff between dari and farsi is not unlike the difference between czech and "slovak"
mircea_popescu: well, i guess the right answer to your q is that i'm way too lazy to put the work into it ? i guess simplest approach would be to convert a set of trilema records to postgres, and try your pg_trgm thing on it.
mircea_popescu: but it'd seem the index would scale on an exponential of record size
mircea_popescu: i guess there's no way out of implementing some inverse-index or i guess ngram really, to test this out. mebbe my intuition is entirely off
mircea_popescu: ie, what do you think is the trigram index of a 200kb file ?
mircea_popescu: no, i understand the concept ; what i don't understand is why you think this works well for wildly varied size records.
mircea_popescu: how do you mean "works just as well" ? The pg_trgm module provides functions and operators for determining the similarity of ASCII alphanumeric text based on trigram matching, as well as index operator classes that support fast searching for similar strings. << seems eminently based on birthday problem, "how many different permutations of 60 characters can there be"
mircea_popescu: but trilema has the converse problem : there's ks of article, from 2kb to 200kb or so.
mircea_popescu: search, esp fulltext search, gets very expensive with larger datasets.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i believe "local search box" is utterly wrong cut.
mircea_popescu: all searches take 1-2s, you realise. course i do the luxurious LIKE "%x%" format.
mircea_popescu: they're marginally less aggravation in "oh, never heard of that page" than they're productive in "well, dun have to unlock key"
mircea_popescu: i generally use for fidning trilema articles when too lazy to bring up mysql terminal.
mircea_popescu: i'll dump "search engine" as a category, same bit bucket "email" as a concept went, np.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, web search accounts for roughly 0% of my web use anyway, so...
mircea_popescu: well, i used to think that maybe ; but this level of utterly idiotic bs is convincing me otherwise.
mircea_popescu: um. no, actually, yours looks like legit page, not redirect.
mircea_popescu: large part of why wget is a lulz to me, like water pistol.
mircea_popescu: da fuck, english pronoun followed by exclamation point is a redirect because "greek roots" ? nonsense!
mircea_popescu: but why does it do it for q=us! ? shouldn't it be q=!us then ?
mircea_popescu: ie, it returns a redirect from the correct ip (at least i see duckduckgo.com. 403 IN A 23.21.193.169 here ?)
mircea_popescu: chick's 21, with a 3 yo and she thinks she's anything but barefoot and pregnant indian camp follower.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "i don't think you know what those words mean", "I’m a geek person and I’m kinda nerd as well. I’m studying in human sciences and I’m a dancer. Also, I'm a young mom of a sweet lil girl who is 2 years old! :3"
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem is that not enough bitchslapping of stupid cunts who imagine "their oppinions on #ows" or w/e are sought or even possible as an abstract object. THAT is the true usg, the pile of moron dreamers.
mircea_popescu: possibly infantile temper tantrum by whatever nuland cunt they have now.
mircea_popescu: if it works it must work in the manner of things working.
mircea_popescu: no such free lunch, let ustards and ustard-wannabes pay for gas for armorer car to go from embassy to wu and back. like teh arabs do it.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with "we'll permit cattle to have their usg.thing and we'll do the right thing" is that why exactly is usg getting the cheap and easy fruit ?
mircea_popescu: gotta start firebombing wu "offices" / shooting anyone trying to work there in the head to interdict their sapping of this market.
mircea_popescu: i expect bulk of the nonsense is still guy runs away to work, wants to send dough back to wife.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, if local morons still act as if they lived in usg zone, notwithstanding they make 5k a year or so...
mircea_popescu: the drug trade should wake up to the idiocy, start a remittance business
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is eating still permitted in the usgulag, or also meanwhile verboten ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but i mean isn't the point of this whole wu business that you just walk into an office and send someone a few benjies ?
mircea_popescu: i thought i was being funny with the paypal throwaway.
mircea_popescu: doesnt' this literally defeat the whole purpose of the whole thing ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe they had to get the right agents at teh right office!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform relatively easier to get the few maidens nobody wants to fuck than to press into service the few maidens everyone wants to fuck.
mircea_popescu: about as doable as phones returning to 1950s state of the art. with maidens and spokes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and by "good %" we mean all of it -- usg would end tomorrow if employers had to pay in cash.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ok, but not that, specifically remittance. "send your paycheck to wife back in nicaragua" sorta things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they disinvented cheques because copier is a thing and well... even in the 70s us it was quite iffy.
mircea_popescu: so there's this "have specialist counter-provider". most electronics stores in orclands will let you pay your utility bills etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because lots and lots of "companies" can't actually afford counter.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oh like a "we're too poor to sell tickets/collect bills, so use this mob-like scam ticketfuckery.com" sorta thing ?
mircea_popescu: every day we discuss imperial "money" and its working is another day nothing makes any fucking sense at all.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you mean they're sending money to themselves ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it meanwhile dawned on me. why the fuck would wu even be part of this conversation.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you have some local remitter in that neck of the woods ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean... you understand how little sense this makes, neither of this has anything to do... oh, cuz wu is a us thing.
