I have access to 2 Gbps down at 35,000 feet.

Can anyone guess how? πŸ™‚

SaaS updates as well as downtime are two compelling arguments in favor of self hosting LLMs.

Programmable Search Engine

While AI search has its uses, blue links are not likely to go away.

Especially when people can use the programmable search engine feature by Google to bring back the original 10 blue links.

For example:
cse.google.com/cse?cx=12b74...

The mobile chrome search engine selection shows "Search Query Aggregator" by search.kheiden.com, which lets users configure their own fully custom search engine. This lets users type in the omnibar and directly sends them to their engine of choice.

Custom defined search engines on mobile Chrome is now possible.

I was frustrated with the lack of parity between mobile Chrome and desktop. Using my expertise in web technology, I built a solution.

Want an incredibly affordable way to host a website?

I've found that a static website deployed on a multi-region bucket behind Cloudflare is pennies per month.

If you need dynamic client-server interaction, you can define Cloudflare workers at specific routes.

This is a desktop screenshot showing what an email from Google is supposed to look like - including the logo and blue checkmark.

Google's BIMI DNS record disappeared months ago and they don't seem to care.

Below is a screenshot of emails from a variety of top tech companies, all taken within Google's own product (Gmail). The 2nd screenshot is taken from Google's blog post showcasing the BIMI standard.

Did you know that your favorite search engine lets you query top level domains?

Try a query for "site:.com"

For additional fun, try using a combination of signed in accounts, web browsers, search engines, subdomains, and top level domains!

Just created a Bluesky account! Hopefully people on this platform are more interested in discussion than on LinkedIn...
