The irony with Google, er alphabet, a search company, is that the search feature are deeply flawed in their products. If you have thousands of resources in GCP, for example, the search is not super helpful.

If you’re using TypeScript then you have a build step and package manager like NPM, which means packages and libraries are published in the NPM package registries. This website was from/for an era where you hotlink the scripts.

We need to move towards “zero trust” for APIs. SaaS can provide “open core” or better yet simply sell a hosted version of their fully open source code. If the provider fails to provide, you can fall back to self hosting. The API equivalent

For Google Maps, They have an “official” limit of 500 where anything beyond that is not guaranteed. In practice, the current limit is 3,000. I’m wondering if Apple Maps is doing something similar where they set a low official limit that the

My perspective as an ex-Google SWE: It is someone's quarterly performance review and OKR to improve SLO. One such SLO is average load time. If you set such metrics as a goal, and financially reward people to do it, it's easy to me

Having worked in GCP, it is not surprising at all to me that Google, despite having the resources, can’t productize an LLM. It feels like OP question stems from a belief that all there is to training a good model is throwing lots of compute
