So Gemini is better than you think. At 1pm it said KC already won the Superbowl. 🙃 g.co/bard/share/3...

Anyone else find it odd to launch Gemini Advanced subscriptions through Google One during a first consumer branded launch like this? By offering it in place of Google Assistant, some people will be trying it for the 1st time. So do they know its limits enough to want to pay for premium yet?

So now there are 3 experiences to befuddle the android user

1. Google Assistant (upgradable to Gemini)
2. Google Search
3. Gemini Proper

Have you enabled it in Assistant? Oddly, I had to install the gemini app, only for it to tell me it wasn't available but that I could enable it for assistant

1M users = load balancer, ~3 app VMs, 3 DB servers (for redundancy not scale)

10M users = 2 Lbs, 5 app VMs, 3 bigger DB servers

People underestimate how much you can do with under 10 VMs
The current v1 Bluesky system is designed to scale to 1M users. And today we're going to hit 1M users!

We will, of course, keep pushing things and *try* to smoothly transition to the v2 Bluesky system later this year. It's designed for >10M users.

We just have to finish building the v2 system!
