I thought about that, which is indeed what AWS Lambda does, but one of the pitches here is "Always-on VMs," which is not what Lambda is selling.

One of the info blocks is headed "Persistent VMs" and suggests "Always-on VMs..." They are not pitching this for any of the "yes" tasks you identified.

Do people really prefer to see vCPU pricing in per-second increments? Is this useful for any person? Presumably no information is conveyed by the first 4 significant digits. And can anybody compare this pricing to e.g. AWS or Google Cloud?

Not the OP, but there are likely many tens/hundreds of thousands of people using AI daily because their management requires it. Management tracks AI usage by employee and uses it as a KPI. You want to keep your job, you use AI. You wan

You can run the simulation out, but if the idea works, you can get to scaled revenue much faster than organic growth keeping 100% of the margin. This is essentially the same reason even the best money managers take outside money to start, e

There are many people who do not have ready access to a million dollars to purchase said Mac minis, much less the operating capital to rack & operate them. Very smart play to build a platform, get scale, and prove out the software. Then

One thing about power generation stats like these is they are incredibly sensitive to examination dates given the rapid growth of (especially) solar. That EIA site cuts off in August. The same EIA report shows solar grew 17% from 2024-2025.

GA resident here. Let's not close the books on Vogtle yet, as our electricity rates are also moving up quite significantly. Let's get to a steady state before we declare a cost win. IIRC our rates are up ~30% since 2024, and our e

Smaller platforms with more engagement? Entirely possible they reach more people on those platforms. In any case, my point was more about the silly idea that it's imperative for any organization to be on the 8th-largest US site.
