What sources say this besides the LLM companies themselves? Even if true, they also have to account for training costs or else they'll never break even.

Yes but in this case Israel and US were the aggressors. If the IRGC benefits from this conflict, that's the sole fault of Israel and the US

You mean the countries the US has physically and economically attacked for decades having resentment for that? As for Vietnam, they're suffering from tariffs, why are you assuming they're also no negatively affected by the Trump a

So if the US was invaded we wouldn't be justified in fighting back?

Why do we think it's our job to intervene in other countries like this? And if we wanted to help another country, working with the international community should be the only approach we take. We've spent many decades overthrowing

You've got to be kidding? "AI" data centers consume massive amounts of energy per square foot, have been caught using LNG generators for power, have polluted ground water, material usage, habitat destruction, etc How about yo

Not sure how to answer this. It's pretty well documented that datacenters (esp the AI variety) are offloading grid expenses to customers as higher baseline costs. The issue is that these DCs are not paying for the cost of the necessary

Local labor is often not used to build them. Most of these companies have crews they bring in during build out. Plus the actual setup of the facility is highly skilled: everyone is imported. The only local jobs we're talking about woul

You really think an individual employee trying to help a customer when they likely have little impact on org wide issues like how customer support is run is tarpitting? Seems a bit uncharitable

You can't be serious? I hope I'm just missing the joke To have an equivalent capacity of DCs in space would require such astronomical costs there is 0 chance it would be profitable esp considering how fast GPUs deprecate How about

So by your logic if a massive company came and said they want to setup an oil refinery or coal power plant you'd say they should say yes just because they could get tax revenue? You always have to way the pros and cons of such massive

Minimal impact as defined by whom? I'm sure they impact those that live around them plenty as well as the price on electricity for those on the same grid. They provide mostly temporary jobs (and majority imported to boot), after constr

You'd be forever my hero if you solve the rate limiting thing! One time I couldn't fix a production issue because I opened too many tabs. Thanks Brandon!

Are you talking backup generator vs solar for a home? If so, solar continually supplies power without paying for an input vs a backup generator which is only meant to run infrequently and is costly to run and requires you to pay for inputs

For your first question: - The workers platform is quite pleasant to work with compared to competitors. - Globally deploying edge workers which have access to their many services (D1, R2, DO, etc) - Having the ability to assemble globally

The dashboard UX has improved a lot lately but one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is that I get rate limited all the time using it. For example, I had to recently change an env var we had on a handful of apps and opened them all into
