- Izmaki 3y ago"...but can't you just run it in the cloud?" :)

- rmbyrro 3y agoWould you run in your basement?
- withinboredom 3y agoProbably a datacenter...
- rmbyrro 3y agoYour own?
- withinboredom 3y agoUsually, you rent a cage/room in one. For all practical purposes, it is yours. I went into a few of our data centers at my old job. There'd often be entire areas dedicated to spares, scooters, or whatever people visiting there might need. If you can afford to run in the cloud, you can often afford 2-3 times your max capacity in a data center. People ended up in the cloud because it was less expensive. Now that the demand for data center space has decreased, running bare metal is less expensive by a large margin. Combine that with Kubernetes and Harvester, you can basically have your own cloud at a fraction of the cost. Now you just need actual sys-admins instead of AWS experts ... and they cost about the same.
- rmbyrro 3y agoSo, in your opinion, bare metal is cheaper just because there's a demand/supply imbalance in the cloud business? Why's there so much demand for cloud and, despite empty DC spaces you pointed, there's no demand to fill it?

- rmbyrro 3y agoIsn't it better than fixing all mistakes?
- withinboredom 3y agoIt's probably better to just not have any mistakes to fix.
- rmbyrro 3y agoIsn't that wishful thinking?
- rmbyrro 3y agoDo you realize this app is used by OpenAI's target audience and they could be interested in sponsoring?
- withinboredom 3y agoare they though? Seems like they're more interested in money than exposure at the moment.
