SearXNG configured as in the OpenWebUI docs is pretty cool. My "Hello World" with a new agent framework is teaching it to use SearXNG. Hook this in as a tool and the agent can answer a lot of questions.

SearXNG is more of a metasearch, the dude who wrote it pops in on here and is working on a cool sounding project that is more like a local personal search engine, I forget the name, but I've been meaning to check it out.

There is also Common Crawl.

SearXNG has been working pretty well for me. I had an agent write the MCP then do a couple passes comparing to server side LLM web tools and exa and tweaking and it works pretty well. I also added scrapling for fetch which covers pretty much everything but sometimes is a bit context heavy.

He's working on Hister now. I really like it.

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash came out in 1992. I guess the paper back became popular in 2000 though.

Thanks I was going by the date I glanced at the counter cover

Language is the virus


maybe it's regional? I always thought "Could care less" was in the same class as "irregardless" or "daylight saving time" -- in common use yet technically incorrect


they just implement the modern PEPs


We do a lot more than that, e.g. how to cache distributions is not defined anywhere within PEPs (and should not be, since it’s a purely internal tool decision). But yes, it helps that uv implements the PEP for detached metadata, particularly during resolution.


Don't get me wrong, I love `uv` -- I mean as far as being "the backbone of any modern Python library" -- shouldn't any modern python library work with any packing system that follows the PEPs?


It depends on what you mean. The PEPs are essentially a behavioral core, and each tool (build backend, etc.) adds on top of that core. If you’re installing a package, any installer should work; if you’re developing a package, you may be subject to implementation details from your development tool of choice.


"backbone" is what has me hung up, seems more like a scaffold or maybe a bionic exoskeleton.


in the US you can still buy hydrogen/ammonia/water gas absorption refrigerators such as "EZ Freeze". Propane/Natural Gas refrigerators use this cycle. I'm sure you can get them all over the world, the cycle is older than the one in the article.


very interesting, basically the agent is a python class, and state is saved right in the object.

I wish there were a toggle on google maps to show the internationally accepted names for these bodies of water.


There won't be because such a thing does not exist. I do not understand why people think that anyone controls what a body of water is called by individual countries.


Yeah, but in the same vein, a) countries are just a collection of people and b) Google's a private company, they can put whatever labels they want on their maps.

If the US admin decided to officially rename every road in the country to "America Street" and every lake in the world to "Lake America", everyone, including Google, would ignore that.
