#102Yandex reverse image search is very good. I use it more than tineye, bing, or goog. It either gives you the exact matches if it can find them, or else it can infer what is desired and show many similar matches.
It also sucks for privacy.

#103Has anyone found the FSB back-door portal?

Its good for privacy if you don't live in Russia... I don't think that they share the data with US governments?

#105That's huge. What takes up most of that 40Gb+?
Re: Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked
#106What are the short-term and long-term implications of this? I assume a drastically increased attack surface and potentially a boon for open-source development? Anything else?
Probably Yandex will start watching their infrastructure very closely, and go through all known attack vectors that haven't been prioritized before to fix them ASAP. Won't be a boon for OSS, any author would be idiotic to read stolen source code and then decide to create a OSS library/project based on what they learn from it.

Ah, but will it make its way into Copilot? That could be interesting.

I wonder if that's a function of their technology or their database. Google's image search used to be good, but regulations have forced them to cripple it in some ways, and they might have chosen not to surface results in some contexts.
I never realized that reverse image search was so bad because of regulations. Can you give me some more context about which regulations affect google reverse image search and why?

#108I was super impressed when I interacted with Yandex ML engineering people like a decade ago on a conf call - they were trying to sell us their services. Very smart and very clearly outward-looking. Haven't followed the company in detail since. Wonder what happened to them. [removed inaccurate details]
> One wonders if this is revenge from the regime. It's not a revenge of the the regime. A decade ago it was a different company, now they all are completely under the cap of FSB, it's basically a Lubyanka filial. It's serfdom all over again, not that strange it got leaked by some unhappy employee.
A lot of really great technology and a lot of really great people.
There are shitheads everywhere.

Yandex regular search is very good too, especially at surfacing results which appear to be censored by Google. The only problem is the interface language keeps flipping back to Russian.
I agree. I use it when I'm searching for "iso" torrents.

#110Interesting that most of the code comments are in English.
When I was learning C++ in late 90s in the university the DOS environment I was using didn't have the i18n configured properly. My teacher noticed that I was trying to use Russian transliteration for comments and she suggested to 'just use English'. That solution didn't seem obvious to me at all.
Also some other day she suggested someone else to install Linux at that student's home PC. I followed that advice too and learned a good bunch much of my English by reading man pages.
