Who are the companies renting out GPUs at scale? There is obviously GAFAM (which have their clouds basically), OpenAI and other startups with big contracts for said cloud services, but aside from them, which companies actually rent out doze

I keep recommending iwantmyname, which is not Europe-based (NZ actually), but founded by some guys from Austria. I've been a customer for ten years now, and I haven't seen a nasty ReactJS redesign, or any other BS. Just a good reg

I'd argue the company would be less remarkable if it was founded by an 50 year old ex-BMW manager in Bavaria. Mate Rimac is an impressive man, have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_Rimac

Core isn't a standardized unit of measurement. ARM-cores on the Apple Silicon line and the x86-Intel/AMD core behave very differently.

“This is what I found on the web for XYZ”… all the time! At this point, they should just pipe the #1 search result into ChatGPT for a nice summary and have Siri read that out loud. It would be so much better.

This must be the most hilarious comment I've ever read on here, and everyone is discussing this without even flinching… :D

Let's keep in mind, the only companies that were ever found to collude with three-letter agencies were the big players in the US. But for some reason, Yandex needs to prove something here…

It really is remarkable. Didn't read a single account of an actual user, only people commemorating the times Google was able to deliver quality software and how they are absolutely dead. This is their lifeline in a potential Bing + Cha

The pricing is fundamentally wrong IMHO. The first problem is: What happens if I stop subscribing. Can I still use the backgrounds I already installed? How often do I get updates? If I pay monthly, I want at least monthly updates. I think y

> What about the glaring safety implications of the custody of this power being in the hands of a relatively small number of people, any of whom may be compelled at any point to divulge that power to those with bad intentions? Secretly?

Yeah cool, I need to write Serial letters using my own fonts. Can't do that with Google Workspace. As an enterprise customer, that is. I have no idea who leads product at Google but they need to get their shit together. I don't ne

The outside world gets a glimpse into what is happening at Google right now by looking at the people who leave Google. I wouldn't have been surprised if Google had invested in Character, a startup which was formed by Ex-Google LM peopl

I'd gladly pay for an eSignature API that has pay-as-you-go pricing or a good entry-level plan. Products like HelloSign or DocuSign have high monthly costs associated with API usage.

iDEAL is truly tremendous. I keep my Dutch Neobank account just to be able to pay stuff with iDEAL. It never fails and works like a charm. Never had a failed payment with it. I don't understand why Germany is incapable of implementing

It is quite weird to talk about all the frameworks which are built on top of CUDA eventually, but not talking about Rocm or OpenCL. OpenAI's Triton compiles down to CUDA atm (if I read their github right), and only supports Nvidia GPUs

So they won't let you do eval but don't mind a whole VM? This doesn't sound right, unless eval touches something deeper and might pose a security risk, while the VM runs inside the normal sandbox. Can you elaborate a bit, or

HA! Have a look at this website, it gives you plenty of things to think about. https://www.enterpriseready.io/ They also provide examples for certain features, which helps getting the hang of it.

Phasing out basic services because of GDPR will further set France back in all topics of information technology. Sure, there are flaws in the offerings of said providers, but the current alternatives just aren't there. And punishing ev
