is there an easy way to disable the multiplayer cursors on that page?
It only works well when the site is busy. The frontpage of HN makes it work very very well.
No idea what the article is about though.
I think google needs to be very afraid in the coming few years because this use of AI is relatively cheap to run, simple to deploy and the models are small enough that you can build one customized based on your personal ranking of several thousand pieces of text.

I'm confused about the "AI" part. Are vector databases, in themselves, AI? Are embeddings?
That part isn't clear to me.

Embeddings are generated by neural networks, so yes, I would consider them as AI
Vector search embeddings are only as good as the models you use, the content you have, and the questions you ask.
This is a bit of a pitfall when you use them for search. Especially if you have mobile users because most of them are not going to thumb in full sentences in a search box. I.e. the questions the ask are going to be a few letters or words at best and not have a lot of context. And users will still expect good results. Vector search is not great for those type of use cases because there just isn't a whole lot of semantics in these short queries. Sometimes, all you need is just a simple prefix search.
I had a discussion at work today about completely replacing the old search engine with vector embeddings because they work so well.

So under the hood this relies on Cloudflare, if I understand it? Is it making calls to a CF API in the cloud, or running locally? That part isn't clear to me.
