On the other hand, SpaceX has a handful of very large clients, and around 12 million small clients, which probably provide a less clumpy income.

If you were paying commercial token rates, what would the cost have looked like?

This the the pricing model for Anthropic now too for business customers over 150 seats - under 150 you can take the Team plan at $25/mth & it’s similar to the personal plans, but E…

The frameworks-and-tools make for good blog fodder too, as they are quite applicable across a range of areas, so many readers will find something that resonates with them, and clau…

Is your phone connected to some work mobile device management? I could imagine someone has a jinxed Jamf or intune rule that is pushing things out.

But when you build a skyscraper you don’t one shot a completed building that stays static its entire life - you build a set of empty floors that someone else designs & fits out, so…

At least AI is (and unlike many contract dev shops) keen to write unit tests…

Workday’s student offering is designed as a full student management offering like Banner et al, with the carrot that it’s internally integrated into the financial & HR systems, whi…

Your system was configured by muppets if you don’t have a search box - it’s a massive beast that like all enterprise-grade software is a toolbox for you to bend to your will, but t…

To be fair, if I paid $30k+ for an H200, I’d want it to be making money 24/7 rather than idling, so the idle power draw would be strictly theoretical.

A two week delay on including new versions would probably work more or less as well with a bunch less effort, but a local proxy looks like it’s going to be a lot more common very s…

I think the reason that the big guys don’t make money out of old films is that if they did they’d be on the hook to pay the cast & crew(‘s retirement plans).

And I guess if there’s a whole-of-life policy sold in 1962 that hasn’t been terminated - I guess there’s a lot of grandfathered rules that are just easier to keep in their original…

I suspect the product telemetry would be more useful - things like success of interaction vs requiring subsequent editing, success from tool use, success from context & prompt tuni…

Oddly enough this also caused similar issues in classical orchestras - in the 90s a bunch of top flight Eastern European and Russian musicians raised the bar of orchestras in place…

Or even Docker Desktop, which is a bunch of $$ that no-one expects (and I think Microsoft is still recommending in the WSL docs).

For example, if someone installs the wrong version of Oracle Java on a VM in our farm, the licencing cost is seven figures as they want to charge per core that it could conceivably…

Sure is - and o3 is missing from the OpenAI models that Azure is serving, which I suspect isn’t a coincidence - if OpenAI has some secret sauce that lets them undercut resellers th…

Or rather; the candidate didn’t have a visa, the employer would need to jump through a bunch of hoops, then a multi-month wait, OR can just hire one of the many on-shore candidates…

In that case, any suggestions if the answer was looking for workflow engines? Ideally something that will work for no-person-in-the-middle workloads in the tens of seconds range as…

Management consulting - I expect less than 20% of what a random 24 year old in a suit that you pay $3000 per day produces is actually specific to your business problem, and the res…

I’m even happy to listen to generative music, so long as it’s orchestrated (haha) by musicians using musical taste to make musical decisions, rather than a pastiche of the worst de…

It’s harder to demonstrate growth & development in the same job for 7 years - if you have a couple of job changes it makes a more natural narrative of how you are professionally de…

The two fast.ai courses end up implementing Stable Diffusion from scratch if that’s the sort of thing you are looking for.
