Or domain leasing.
In the AI era, tests are going to have to be in person…
So are jobs.
Accuracy where it matters is why. Do you have a better suggestion for projecting a sphere onto a rectangle?
What’s the I/O throughput of /dev/null ?
How is this any different to downloading and running a binary?
I'm working to make private hosting easier. I've been running a software development agency in Melbourne for 10+ years and have been building this platform in the background to help automate and standardise the hosting needs for our clients.
We're now getting ready to launch a web portal for others to manage their own private hosting in a simpler way. The product also includes a directory of off-the-shelf applications which can be launched in a few clicks (eg. Deepseek chatbot).
If you're interested in being part of our closed-Beta in March, reach out! (e: james at below domain)
It will be very interesting to see if they can reproduce a similar model on the shoestring budget claimed by Deepseek.
Exactly, is OP really the one who should be influencing others preferences? Most couldn’t give two shits about the technological perils that await them just over the horizon - and should you really be the one to inform them of those horrors? Just relax - and embrace the book of faces. The movement will be swift and relatively painless, mostly.
Should have reviewed their content with chatgpt before posting. Maybe next time.
Comments like this one are so predictable and incredulous. As if the current state of the art is the final form of this technology. This is just getting started. Big facepalm.
Could you please add an option to enforce the use of transactions within the SQL input?
It’s interesting. They have had plenty of time and resources available to mount solid competition. Why haven’t they? Is it a talent hiring problems or some more fundamental problem with their engineering processes? The writing has been on the wall for gpgpu for more than 10 years. Definitely enough time to catch up.
Someone must police the rules of the market I suppose? Also, a truly free market benefits those who own the market, no?
Ok? Sounds like a personal issue.
It’s so funny to me how confidently incorrect this comment is.
Optimistic to think that the current price is cheap.
Interesting way to frame these management tactics, but the conclusions don’t seem to have much support from the rest of the context.
We’re trying to deprecate the brain.
Yet another reason the digital world is marching towards a closed-by-default model.
This is why the internet as we know it is going to be driven into walled gardens. Closed by default.

There’s a big difference between a one off replica and person-as-a-service.
Seems like fraud would be a more likely charge.
We shouldn’t, but we do. Get over it and accept reality.
any code base that evolves over time will have complexity. It can be either manageable or unmanageable complexity. Either sacrifice maintainability for early development velocity, or plan for medium-to-long term velocity. You CAN have both velocity and maintainability, but the engineers will be expensive. Fast, good, cheap - pick two. A tale as old as bits.
Is there any data that this is “what’s working?”. Seems the most engaged are the least influential.
When there are consequences for poor quality (security, negligence, reliability, efficiency, etc). When engineering standards are regulated. When quality meaningfully impacts revenue. Take your pick.
That’s a big if, but does seem plausible for well-founded use cases.
I’d put my money on yes, but at a far lower risk than smoking.
