    Worth mentioning is the Alexandria.org project [0]. It is a non-profit search engine built on data from Common Crawl. The coverage is limited because of Common Crawl, but the relev…

    I just finished reading the PaLM [0] blog post and being genuinely impressed with all the NLP advancements. This search result was a fun juxtaposition. SERP: https://imgur.com/a/Yb…
