generative engine optimization | mgx

What really bothers me about GEO is that it doubles down on the industrial content machine that already wrecked the internet. SEO filled the web with keyword-stuffed, regurgitated sludge. GEO will do it with auto-generated LLM sludge. We're now training future models on data that was artificially inflated to sound optimized for machines. So the next generation of models will be trained on synthetic content designed for older models -- and quality will just keep sinking in a recursive spiral. Truth is, most people claiming to optimize for "the future of AI search" are just optimizing for the next invoice.

Damn Cool Algorithms: Spatial indexing with Quadtrees and Hilbert Curves - Nick's Blog

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:53:07 +0000

"Spatial indexing is increasingly important as more and more data and applications are geospatially-enabled. Efficiently querying geospatial data, however, is a considerable challenge: because the data is two-dimensional (or sometimes, more), you can't use standard indexing techniques to query on position. Spatial indexes solve this through a variety of techniques. In this post, we'll cover several - quadtrees, geohashes (not to be confused with geohashing), and space-filling curves - and reveal how they're all interrelated."

A new (and different) geo platform - (BlockChalk Blog)

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:14:42 +0000

"We’ve just released a brand new API for BlockChalk. It’s very easy to learn and use: requests are made via HTTP GET and POST, and data is provided in XML, JSON, and RSS formats. These new interfaces enable developers to do nearly everything that you can do at http://blockchalk.com. It’s now possible to build client applications, mash-ups, and other tools based on BlockChalk geolocation data and services."

Palm Pre Mojo SDK experiments at updates @ m.blog

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:41:07 +0000

"As a new Pre owner, I was curious to learn to code for the Palm WebOS SDK (Mojo). Whenever I try to learn a new technology, I try to build a functional test project. So… what to build for WebOS? Since the Pre’s web browser doesn’t currently support the W3C Geolocation spec used by Flickr Nearby, I figured a good “Hello World” might be an application to get the GPS coordinates from the Pre, and then load the appropriate Flickr page for that location."

Mozilla Labs » Blog Archive » Introducing Geode

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:10:11 +0000

"Introducing Geode, an experimental add-on to explore geolocation in Firefox 3 ahead of the implementation of geolocation in a future product release. Geode provides an early implementation of the W3C Geolocation specification so that developers can begin experimenting with enabling location-aware experiences using Firefox 3 today, and users can tell us what they think of the experience it provides. It includes a single experimental geolocation service provider so that any computer with WiFi can get accurate positioning data."
