What are those 10-12 hours? Is there any way to get that time from 10-12 hours down to say 0-1 hour... while still maintaining the bulk of the savings? If so, that might be a good value add.

Nothing crazy - though I have studied 'startup' methodology and worked in some which has helped shape my opinions. For example, learning to pitch a startup is valuable IMO. At the start it doesn't seem to make much sense - wh

For me, a startup is a business first, technology second. So my first question are always: 1) What does it cost to aquire a customer (CAC)? 2) How much does a customer pay (REVENUE)? 3) How many customers are there (TAM)? 4) How much does

The memory bus is overblown. M2 Ultra has 800GB/s, which sounds like a lot until you remember a Xbox Series X has 560GB/s and costs $499. Or spend $800 and get a 7900 XT which has 800GB/s. Think of the Ultra more of a GPU tha

Given how the crypto market avoids regulations to scam mum and pop... it's not so hard to believe. Keep in mind certain crowd-funding is legal in US.

Have you tuned your workstation for power efficiency? Dropping cpu and GPU frequencies even a few % might have a significant impact.

If power utilization matters, then a more 'efficient' device, that takes longer might actually use more power overall - esp. when you factor in the lighting, Aircon etc that might be needed by the human operator who is waiting for

You pose these questions, and then when asked to clarify, claim derailment? If you think reality is important, then it's upon you to define reality and why you think it's important.

A Prince Rupert's drop can withstand a bullet - how would you demonstrate this with a random piece of tempered glass?

I use serverless successfully - handing tens of millions of annual revenue. We do this in a handful of small services, none of which gets much traffic. The alternatives (e.g. app-engine, container in vm, or k8s) all require more infrastruct

Bit of survivorship bias there! No-one is going to hire you to port off of serverless, if they're happy with it. Ergo you only see cases where it isn't working well.
