It's been a long time coming, but the book is almost here.
It's roughly 600 pages of some of what I know about Information Retrieval, natural language processing, how to build a simple search engine in node or python, and SEO.
We'll see how long it is after editing tho.

Ever the skeptic, I wanted to make sure this was a real phenomenon despite the 1.2K survey responses.
I'd like to better understand the reluctance about full #search on #Mastodon. Is there an overview somewhere?
Working at Google on search, and with SEOs, I'm not used to folks publishing things publicly, and then not wanting them to be easily found. Is there something Google could be doing - in search or in the form of guidance - that would help keep folks comfortable, and still be useful?
Interested in how Google is analyzing/detecting AI content? Nice find by Roger Montti -> Google published a research paper describing an algorithm that detects low-quality pages, spam content and AI or machine-generated content
"We observe a burst in the fraction of low quality documents at the beginning of 2019. One possible explanation for this is in the maturity of technology
for fast and realistic-looking generation of text..."
