less copying and more keeping in the spirit of, as it has clearly shown it is a model that is built to last

i wonder if it's partially because it's not a unique business model and subject to yet another VC-subsidized race to the bottom on things like token prices

agreed, unless you need to use all models i'm sitting here wondering why orgs would want to introduce third party risk into their pipelines for marginal cost and time savings

linode came to mind as well but OP seems to be much more focused on building cloud as a hardware service rather than VM

as someone who is working in the cybersecurity space and recently obtained my CISSP designation, i am left wondering when the pedagogy of my field will expand and include a separate domain dedicated to AI agent safety and security best practices

it really does feel like we are way behind in the way we train people in cyber compared to the pace of the development of agentic AI, robotics etc

is it unrealistic to think the companies that benefit from orgs such as this could donate a fraction of a percent of their wealth to keep them going? the responsibility always seems to fall most on those with the least resources.

I think Matrix as a protocol has been pretty ineffective, as their top priority seems to be keeping data permanent and duplicated. Both performance and privacy are at the bottom of their priority list. The one good thing I can say about it is that encryption of message contents is enabled by default in conversations and available in groups, but that's about it - nothing else is, or can be, encrypted. In other words, every participating server knows who is talking to who, and how much, and when, and in what rooms, and what those rooms' names are, and what those rooms' descriptions are, and who moderates them, etc.

Meanwhile, an app like Signal can do none of that, and that's by design.

If you're looking for a privacy oriented messaging system, you'd best look elsewhere.

I'm new to Matrix and found this comment on reddit. How much of it is accurate and does it actually contribute to whether or not the future of the protocol is promising?

As an N4 student of Japanese the origin story of Hiragana listed here was quite interesting. However the overall layout/design of the characters and page leaves much to be desired.

Good riddance, Domm Holland is a textbook example of the modern day tech bubble shyster. Reading about his previous towing startup in Australia tells you everything you need to know about him.

No, they have a point. It makes for a more difficult overall reading experience. Just because you put up with it doesn't mean everyone else has something wrong with them.
