Unfounded. Assuming automated/voice-enabled assistants will spam for opening times, price & description of products/services, scheduling/booking, etc.
In the long run it'll be an arms race but the transition will be rough for businesses as consumers can adopt these tools faster than SMBs or enterprises can integrate them.
I'd love to hear the bull case for standalone vector DBs at this point. After exploring a few, there's not much differentiation from what's offered here (beyond maybe a nicer developer experience than GCP's) and I'd expect many other DBs/data warehouse to follow the same path as BigQuery has.
It looks like there's still plenty of hard problems in the indexing side of RAG and so maybe the vector DB that leans hard in that direction will carve out something defensible? Outside that, can't find a good reason to standup yet another piece of infrastructure purely for vector search.
Not even the only McDonald's branded game of the era! I played MC Kids growing up on NEWS and it also was a dramatically better game than it had any right to be. Not quite the same storied history but still recommend playing if you're looking for some hidden NES gems.
OpenAI actually thinking about this too. It’s buried in their open source repo and not clear the exact mechanism that ChatGPT knows to make use of it. But we’re already here evidently.
Have been thinking about exactly this workflow and of course Simon is way out ahead. I recommend taking a look at Simon's daily notes logs too, really fascinating back and forths.
I’m assuming this is a sell page for eng candidates? I think you should mention the big engineering challenges you have at Streak. You mention you’re the largest Spanner user outside Google. That's a really impressive point, but what problems are you tackling by using that?
FWIW - I don’t like that you stuffed everyone into the same t-shirt :)
Hners should browse the applications by Bird and by Scoot here. It's like night and day. The Bird pages are short and lack significant detail. Scoot on the other hand, actually has what look like questions taken directly from the application, bolded in red, and what look like responses undernearth. That is, they respond directly to the questions being asked with a good amount of detail. This is precisely what you do when applying for things, like say when applying for a grant.
For a community that waxes poetic about presenting themselves and communicating well, Scoot sets a rather good example here.
