Hi @iPullRank ever since reading your article on use cases for vectorization (way back) I've wanted a Chrome extension for quick page analysis. I finally made it: chromewebstore.google.com/de… - not built for your scale, but wanted to share as it was inspired by your article. Cheers.

Just got back from first trip to China since covid. Still plenty wearing masks, but all restrictions are now a distant memory. As fast as they adopted zero covid policy they've now abandonned it thoroughly. Also, holy shit the EV market is booming in China.

Stories about how chatGPT will kill Google are a bit silly.
Google have the best full stack LLM team and infra with custom chips (PaLM, LaMBDA, Chinchilla, MUM, TPUs etc)

Quick life update, I'm moving to Queenstown. Currently in Turangi as I make my way south, ETA middle of next week. No change on work front, just relocating to make the most of my non-work time :)
Moving out of the house I've been in for the last 9 years. Just ordered a second 9sqm skip bin. Moving is a royal pain the ass, but it sure is liberating to get rid of all the crap and cruft we collect over the years.
I created the Blogarama.com blog directory about 20 years ago (sold it around 2006ish). Kinda cool to see that it is still going... searchenginejournal.com/web-…

Hey Twitter, does anyone have some must sees or must dos in Northern NSW or Southern Queensland area?
Just booked first international flights in over 2 years, albeit just across the Tasman. The fully flexi fare option was about+50% for each leg!! Was this always the case? I really don't remember.
