  Has it occurred to you that all the searching in the world can’t help you find a website that isn’t indexed?

  Obscure errors especially may not exist for you to find, and depending on how small and obscure the music is you’re looking for, it may not exist or be properly indexed.

  Search engines aren’t magic.

  Maybe? How niche are we talking? Are you saying the websites you need to find exist but you can’t find them via a search engine?

  I honestly thought people didn’t have issues finding things via a search engine anymore. TIL people still struggle with it.

  I never have trouble finding what I’m looking for online. Are you saying you do?

  There is significant overlap between those two things. Depending on how old you are, you may not remember a time when people didn’t know how to search for information on the Internet; it was a skill people needed to learn. These days it’s pretty difficult to mess up finding what you want to find on the Internet, as the tools have been refined so much that it’s nearly idiot proof.

  It’s much the same way with using an LLM. We’re at the stage where using an LLM is a skill many people don’t have, and it leads to incorrect outputs. I have no doubt that the same refinement will happen for LLMs as happened with search engines.

  I was recently looking into this myself, and I saw someone recommend FileFlows, but it was recommended for ease of setup/use, not because it’s open source. Figured I’d mention it, but note that I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet.

  Yeah, it’s the distinction between “anonymous” and “private”.

  It’s almost like capitalism is a problem.

  The issue is what mechanism could be used to force Google to pay, but also prevents Google from saying “yeah, we just won’t provide any links to those sites at all”.

  Are they going to force Google to index those sites against their will? If so, how? Even if they could, would you really want that? Will it be just as cool for Russia to force Google to index whatever it wants, too? Are they just going to take money from Google no matter what, and give it to the news sites, even if Google isn’t indexing them?

  Sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t see a notification.

  Google is pointing out that the news sites need google more than google needs the news sites.

  This sort of thing happens every once in a while; some country’s news organizations think that google should have to pay them for the privilege of helping people find their sites. Google responds by blacklisting news sites from that country. The news sites suffer more than google does, and they reverse the decision.
