The problem is that, currently, large ML models need to be trained on clusters of tightly-connected GPUs/accelerators. So it's kinda useless having a bunch of GPUs spread all over the world with huge latency and low bandwidth betw

I think their point still stands - even if every town/city has both solar panels and wind turbines, there are times when you won't get enough power from them to meet demand (remember demand can vary too), just due to natural fluct

Performance between IDEs can vary dramatically, so vscode vs (non-vscode) web IDEs is not a useful comparison - especially now that you can compare web vscode vs "native" (electron?) vscode. I suspect the performance difference is

Why leave your branding, of all things, to historical accident? And if you're thinking about changing it, sooner is of course better.
