I've just added blog feed search on blaze.email, which I'm really liking for finding really niche blogs. Just add the operator 'type:feeds' after the query and it'll show you matches from ~34k+ blogs indexed so far.

Absolutely *shedloads* of Gen AI news this week in the blaze.email digest. I guess reflective of the pace of development at the moment, but I'm trying to find ways to slim this down! If this looks interesting, you can preview / signup @ getblaze.email/newsletters 🙏

Did you know you can search (almost) all #rstats blogs at getblaze.email? For example, try: "ggplot data visualisation type:blogs lang:en since:last_month" Once you find something you like the look of, you can hit "More like this" to refine your search.

Lots of noise around Meta's launch of llama 3 this week. Lots to dig into! More at blaze-assets.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/pdfs/generat...

I’ve been developing blaze.email for a while. one of the things i’m proudest of is the search engine, which allows you to search 250k tech oriented blog posts from over 35k sources. it’s far from perfect but i find it super useful for finding niche tech content.

I'm really liking the kagi.com search, it's a refreshing alternative to the likes of google. I the 'small web' results: non-commercial, high quality results written by real humans. They open sourced it, & the repo is well worth a look buff.ly/434f3xK
