He was complaining a couple days ago in twitter that he couldn't buy a ton of expensive gpu machines on GCP as an independent researcher, but being John Carmack someone from google stepped up and fixed it for him.
- runevault 6y agoWas that where he was talking about how Google wanted him to have a website to prove his validity (before people stepped in of course). Reading that thread was bizarre...
- cyrux004 6y agohaha, yes that was it
- easton 6y agoI wonder why he didn’t just move over to Azure, they don’t make a distinction between a corporate person and an individual, as long as you can pay your bill. (I’ve never hit the oh no limit, anyway. He’s probably using a ton of power though).
- ksec 6y agoLink below. Anyway why do they have such a low quota? To stop people from using it for Crypto? But surely they could have make multiple account if it needs to be. So why put a limit? https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1305967411749892098 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1305967411749892098
