This is the reason, at least what I know from people who worked there, the azure migration has been very painful as far as I’m aware

It was related to their migration to Azure as far as I know

You don’t even need a “gut based” server. Git doesn’t care about the transport

Git also just work. The issue is the host platform, not the CVS

That’s why we don’t vote for the fascist who attempted to coup its way to power

“Annoying” is more than euphemistic

Eh, that’s a very interesting way to differentiate, I will steal your explanation next time I have that discussion, if you don’t mind!

My bad, I didn’t read before reacting :)

He often says in passing that he doesn't see value in LLMs outside of generating bad software and can help sometimes with search. But it's not really part of the AI bubble thesis itself IMHO, just him adding his personal commentar

I think you wanted to respond to another comment? What you’re quoting isnt my words

> Make them pay more for their water and they'll magically discover closed cycle cooling. A closed cycle cooling system doesn't solve the overall problem of water usage. Yes you have a cycle within the datacenter, but you need

AI inference and training GPUs require way, way more power than anything manufactured before. Like, between 2020 and 2026 we went from ~400W for an A100 to ~1400W for an NVIDIA B300. And you cannot make that happen without changing the data

It's more like, not having Trump, and controlling the complete manufacturing pipeline from beginning to end

To be fair, their growth is ridiculously insane. I don't know how else that can be described

That's up to you, but if there is a crash it's very unlikely to be before a major hyperscaler decides to reduce or stop their infra expenditures (which isn't happening, like, quite the opposite). That's what I would pers

They just had their most important learning experience and you get rid of them? That doesn't sound reasonable to me. It's like firing your SREs after an incident

That's just his own personal belief about the technology, the only relevant part of this is that he doesn't believe there will be enough demand to match the level of expanses. It doesn't matter if AI is useful or not for his

It's not, it's an editorial, i.e an opinion piece...

Another nuance: his position is that real economic value hasn't been demonstrated, and that due to how LLMs work, it cannot really be measured. Meaning the AI crowd actual believes are based on vibes and doesn't seem to match real

Zitron predictions regarding LLMs, as technology, are meaningless. Literally nobody can predict the future, and he's not a computer scientist. What matters is his thesis for things that have actual numbers that can be verified. Look at
834.

They generally don't show their hand, Zitron has shared his complete thesis openly

Doesn't look flagged to me. Though it triggered the flamewar checks I think

Unfortunately in practice I've never seen that line convince someone that privacy is something worth defending

For 0.5%? That feels way too low to try to avoid, no?

For something as sensitive as a payment system you need to go way further than p99. Like way, way further

Given the number of upvotes my comment got and the other comments where people missed the sarcasm, I wouldn’t be too sure that many people have no trouble distinguishing

Oh yeah. I forgot the geese are still at play here
