Do you happen to know of others by any chance. For self-hosted video call solutions, looks like Jitsi and BigBlueButton (BBB) are the only decent options out there.

Yeah if I look up Intel's GPUs in the open-source Blender benchmark for 3D performance [1], the leading Intel Arc A770 GPU is slower than ... the NVidia GeForce RTX 2070?! Which came out in 2019 [2], so Intel's latest GPUs are slo

I'm honestly curious about Epic and where they are heading these days. They no longer need to compete in this market since they had their breakout with Fortnite and most of their revenue comes from there anyway. I understand their work

I just added this comment on another reply further down below, copy-pasting here, the numbers compare last year Q2 to this year Q2, if you compare it to last quarter they are actually down in count. ------------------------------- I thought

I thought this was interesting, so I compared it against their count last quarter (instead of last year) and they are indeed down. - In Q4 2022 [1] they had 190,234 employees. - In Q1 2023 [2] they had 190,711 employees. - This quar

This is very cool, my TL;DR from a quick read of their GitHub code: - Frontend and backend are both in Typescript / NodeJS - Backend uses Knex for DB ORM (good choice, it's one of the most popular NodeJS ORMs) - Supports V

Can they sell that $500K in PPUs though, since OpenAI is not public? That's one part that is a bit unclear to me, not sure how that works.

Are you building your own "LLM" for this use case (more complex and expensive)? Or just generating embeddings for OpenAI or other LLMs that you integrate your own data with (easier and less expensive) https://openai.com

I thought this was $20 a year for hosting, and thought "that's cheap!" But this is actually $20 a year for a domain, which is about 50-80% more expensive than most other domain hosting, including Google Domains.
