They could be off by an order of magnitude and it would still be pretty bad. Here are their official numbers from Q2: https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2021/q2...

Deep learning is narrowly applicable to every domain, that's the beauty of it. It's delivering 1.1-10x efficiency improvements for a lot of common workflows, which might not seem that impressive but really adds up. My cousin is an

Yes we use GCP for production workloads and enjoy the benefits of being to scale at will. I'm strictly speaking about hosting large multi TB datasets and running machine learning training jobs that end up costing thousands of dollars e

My original comment was referring to companies who train their own machine learning models. They might not be spending the way large slow corporations and the government do but there's a lot of investment in the space and a ton of room

Sorry to break it to you but most of HN is not well informed. Look for some threads in your area of expertise for proof of that. Only people selling AGI are marketers and futurists.

Sounds like we need to start taxing the rich a lot more to pay it off.

Yes except for the ones that are lighting saudi money on fire by having softbank pay for it. A lot of ML startups end up buying hardware for training because they can get a GPU for what it would cost them to rent it for 2 months on GCP&#x2F

Cloudflare could really shake things up on the ML side of things. The egress costs and GPU prices on AWS and GPC make them a nonstarter for most companies, forcing people to rack their own hardware.

No sane person believed that deep learning would get us to AGI withing the next few decades. Anyone saying so is doing it to fool VCs out of their money.

The recent advances in deep learning are good enough to keep industry busy for the next 20 years. Each year has brought us substantial improvements and if you look past the popular benchmarks there's no sign of things slowing down.

I've been saying this for a while. I used to live in queens and would take a practically empty bus down a traffic packed metropolitan ave to a coworking space in bushwick. There was no way the bus was breaking even with the 5-10 people

I have an image recognition service on GCP where majority of the latency is the initial upload. Pushing that closer to the user would be nice.

Great start but the field is moving on from tensorflow. Torchscript support would be amazing.

Do GPUs at a reasonable price next and you'll own the ML space. R2 will be amazing for hosting computer vision datasets and models.

My worst date ever was a trip to MOMA, I had to go to a museum as an assignment for an art history class. The girl must have thought I was a weirdo for taking her there and we pretty much stopped talking after that night.

Would love something like that for storing large image datasets for computer vision. Storing embeddings, predictions and metadata in a contiguous format with compression support, ANN indexing support and SQL would be amazing.
