    The upfront cost of facility is ~30%, network infra 10-15%, land/utilities is small percentage, power could be significant for an AI DC. The servers are ~50-60% only.

    They are building new datacenters for the AI demand, so around half of this CAPEX is not for the GPU-s, and those will not be replaced every 3-5 years. Also, TPUv2 was introduced i…

    This is a good chart that shows historical CAPEX spending. Hyperscalers have been through a couple CAPEX cycles like this, they all know what they are doing. https://eco3min.fr/en/…

    I'm 100% sure that all providers are playing with the quantization, kv cache and other parameters of the models to be able to serve the demand. One of the biggest advantage of runn…

    Yesterday GPT 5.2 wrote a python function for me that had the import in the middle of the code, for no reason. (It was a simple import of requests module in a REST client...) Claud…

    You don't need hundreds of services. Give me virtual machines, reliable block storage, file storage and object storage, networking, dns, managed kubernetes, and it will cover the m…

    Sure, EBS or any network-attached storage is expected to be a lot slower than a local SSD for synchronous writes or random reads, as there is a network stack in between. But my und…

    Terraform Crossplane (although it's quite new, and missing a lot of things that Terraform has)

    The Model3 has a dedicated button for the windscreen wiper on the steering wheel, and then you can adjust with the scroll buttons. It certainly has a learning curve, and it would b…

    Telco vendors have been using Openstack for 6-8 years already, and virtualization (and even containerisation, mainly with LXC, or Solaris zones earlier) was a thing back then. Kube…

    There are some exotic scenarios, where copy-paste is the good(fast) solution. For example, one of my clients can be accessed via a VPN. Once I'm on the VPN, I have to start their V…
