Hey folks, I haven’t been super active here for a long time. I disagree with the politics of the man owning the platform and fear how he’s going to use the data. I am going to start again at bsky.app/profile/gabeweiss.b…. I’ll likely start slow, but I’ll be talking big data and life.

If you wanted to quickly see at a glance what's happening with the @Oracle @GoogleCloudTech partnership, we made a quick video showing how easy it will be to get going with Oracle databases on Google Cloud: youtube.com/watch?v=zvyFoz8b… In the video description is a link to more info.

Interesting things are afoot at #GoogleCloud

Funny discussion around browsers tonight led me to this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped… Super cool graphic of the history of web browsers and how they connect.

Noodling on ideas of how to solve the deep fake issue in light of the elections coming up in the USA and the very real risk they pose to our Democracy...

If you're looking to get it on its feet as fast as humanly possible, check out the video I made getting it up and running on Google Compute Engine using GCE's startup script mechanism: youtube.com/watch?v=GO5ms7sz… The video takes longer to watch than the setup process.

I am, apparently, a duck.

Hi friends! #CloudSQL has introduced tiers! Improved performance, availability and data protection. Link to the blog in the tweet below. Or if you want to get the summary, video can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=JyVXBHvw… #GoogleCloud #Postgres #mysql

We may look nice 'n' polished in the final video, but often it takes a village, and sometimes, the wheels fall off the cart. A quick peek into one of the many snafus that can happen on the set as we create our videos. youtube.com/watch?v=KbkLkLG0… #VideoProduction #outtake

It doesn’t surprise me that Meta is creating a Twitter clone. The instant Musk talked about buying Twitter likely when development started. But it’s not going to be available in the EU… tells me there are privacy issues. I will not be trying it out until that’s fixed. If then.

So, you know how #AI is everywhere these days, right? As of today, #CloudSQL and #AlloyDB both support #pgvector to add vector embeddings to your #PostgreSQL database. Launch blog: lnkd.in/gb-Jf-Ux YouTube demo walkthrough: lnkd.in/gKaW3wvg #GoogleCloud

Identity and access management may feel like an epic adventure full of twists, turns and monsters. Want to delve a bit into resource hierarchies? Check out the blog post by @MrsYisWhy and @maxsaltonstall : cloud.google.com/blog/produc… #GoogleCloud #Security

#Performance of your #database is a huge topic. One critical piece is running benchmarks, but do you really know how/why/when to benchmark? Check out this blog post by @sky_vst on the philosophy of benchmarking #AlloyDB! cloud.google.com/blog/produc… #GoogleCloud

For those of you (probably not that many) that are pulling an old #RaspberryPi off the shelf and are planning on running any of the #Python #GoogleCloud APIs on it, upgrade the OS to Bullseye first. The APIs are compiled with glibc 2.29 and Buster only has 2.28. #IoT problems…

I stopped reading for a pretty long time. I used to be an avid reader, but life got in the way, I had other hobbies that took over. Recently I've been reading a lot again. Discovering the number of eLibrary Cards you can get free, and using @LibbyApp. *chefskiss* #PublicLibrary

Troubleshooting, figuring out what happened and where things are going wrong is such a core piece of what we do day-to-day. Insights is a fantastic tool to help you figure out what's going on with your queries and the health of your #CloudSQL #Database.
