I would frame it more that AI will cause the value of knowledge to plummet. College provides knowledge but never provided expertise. That comes from experience in the real world. Capturable value has always been in the application of know

Because Amazon is not really a web store - that's the "easy" bit. Amazon is really a logistics company. It took something like 20 years of insane investment and no shareholder returns to build this out in the US.

SuperGrok Heavy subscription appears (for me) to be on sale at the moment - $99/mth for 6 months then $300/mth.

Yup. That was such an embarrassing incident and their postmortem of it was worse. They actually thought being transparent about how bad their engineering was would do them favours.

No the Enterprise Cloud is just the same GitHub.com with the same shitty reliability. However the newer Enterprise Cloud with Residency (aka on Azure) is a separate partition and has a different reliability domain (still subject to Azures b

And somehow still never profitable! Living on borrowed time. Cuts were always coming. Nothing to do with AI.

It's literally documented. Try reading it and educating yourself.

The underlying reason is more that by being in us east coast you have about equal latency for customers in us west coast and Europe. That's a very large population covered from a single site. If you're building a single datacenter

There was an recent article on X with an interesting take - it could be that companies are doing layoffs not because AI is making them more productive but because it hasn't . Their costs have gone up paying for expensive AI but haven&

Complete fiction. Over covid it was common in big tech layoffs to get much less severance in Europe than US.

Cutting salaries to pay the AI costs for the remaining engineers. Going to be rough as this trickles through the entire economy over the next 10 years.

You do understand natural gas burns very clean? People burn it in their houses to cook with it!

Following various X posts, asking Grok to check my memory. https://grokipedia.com/page/Colossus_supercomputer backs this up.

You realize natural gas is one of the more environmentally friendly methods of generating power. Lots of work went into moving to natural gas generation to improve the environmental impact for electricity generation. This is nothing like bu

For those who haven't been following the build out. xAI has added about 500MW of nvidia gpu capacity in ~April and will add another 500MW before the end of the year totaling about 2GW.

Would love to know more about how they deployed their monolith. If you have anything to share or public links about it.

This. We talked to our account reps and engineering folks at GitHub - they had no monitoring to track if they had kept their end of the contracted SLA. They expected us to log any faults and as you say the process wasn't worth it - eve

GitHub and WarpBuild cache is so slow it is often faster to re-download hundreds of MB each run than cache it properly. I so wish this wasn't the case.

The idea that Banksy's identity is unknown is a complete myth perpuated by the popular press. The guy is well known and very much part of the establishment.

No, no api access for the Grok product. APIs are only via the xAI product.

Pretty sure GitHub Enterprise Cloud is just Github hosting their enterprise server for you on Azure so you don't have to do the patching yourself.

Pretty damming that two Microsoft subsidiaries - GitHub and LinkedIn - either shelved their forced migration to Azure or are looking at non-Azure options.

by everfrustrated 6mo ago
So they haven't even finished migrating from their datacenters to Azure and have now started a project to add another cloud provider ("multi cloud")? Madness.

I'm thinking the same. Downgrade to Pro and use OpenRouter (same price) for overage. Seems a massive loss for Microsoft. Presumably there's a further rugpull to come.
