(Ab)using general search algorithms on dynamic optimization problems (2023)
10 by h45x1 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I wrote this blog back in 2023 but since then I became a frequent lurker on HN and decided to repost the blog here. For me, writing it was about connecting the dots between dynamic optimization techniques I've studied as an economist and the more general search algorithms studied in CS.

Phind 2: AI search with visual answers and multi-step reasoning
18 by rushingcreek | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! Michael here. We've spent the last 6 months rebuilding Phind. The new Phind goes beyond text to present answers visually with inline images, diagrams, cards, and other widgets to make answers more meaningful. Here are some examples: "explain photosynthesis" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=7 "how to cook the perfect steak" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=55 "quicksort in rust" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=105 We asked ourselves what types of answers we would ideally like and crafted a new UI and model series to help get us there. Phind is also now able to seek out information on its own. If it needs more information, it can do multiple rounds of additional searches to get you the most comprehensive answer it can. This blog post contains an overview of what we did as well as technical deep dives into how we built the new frontend and models. I'm super grateful for all of the feedback we've gotten from the HN community and can't wait to hear your thoughts!
