Of course netflix is optimising costs, otherwise it would not be a business, I just think they put much more effort elsewhere. They could be using other words, like "financial disc…

We run our own infrastructure, sometimes with our own fincing (4), sometimes external (3). The cost is in tens of millions per year. When I used to compare to aws, only egress at l…

From the perspective of China, it probably makes sense to try and train on local chips and try to dethrone Nvidia. I guess this means PRC thinks AGI isnt around the corner and they…

Haha, I wish. Very random that this has happened. One of them was Assembla - Boston based. The other, that I work in now - Vinted - Lithuania based.

I like companies that do tryouts. In the last 15 years I worked for 3 employers. Two of them did tryouts - a day or two literally working in their environment. One did not. The two…

I am under the impression that fine tuning is expensive (could anyone put a number on that?) and that each time a new model is released you have to fine tune it again, paying full …

Probably less than 1%.

Such a cool question! My perspective as a Lithuanian: I think they will continue to sell both petrol and diesel in 15 years. I think gas (we have some cars running on literally gas…

Good question. I'm not certain myself why. I am not from the USA, so I don't see how it affects me. Also, probably unfounded, but I am somehow suspicious if this is for the benefit…

Netflix, TikTok

Yes. Have them work for it.

As someone from a country neighbouring russia, I wish my country decided to do this as well.

The goal is defence - to prevent easy russian train logistics deep into Finland.

One of the main goals of this is to not have the russian gauge available in case russians attack, so that logistics deeper into Finland cant happen easily with the same train, so b…

Interesting question. Could you elaborate in the definition of "AI is as good as half of the developers"?

I'm really curious in what problems the codebases of startups of today will have in a few years. The internet is already full of memes about working with legacy code. What will be …

If google is forced to sell... Why would OpenAI be allowed to buy it? Won't this become the same (or worse) problem down the road?

A google search tells me that around half of people in the USA do not hold a passport. Domestically most people rely on drivers licence as their ID.

What did you do to get shadow banned?

The russian threat is why military spending is increasing in europe (look at countries which increased spending and their proximity to russia).

Wow, this comment section has quite some russian propaganda.

As a european, I do not consider it peace time. It's an ongoing hybrid war. Also, blaming germans for "degrading profession of war" shows quite some gaps in history knowledge.

It's good it is not on government servers. It would be a security risk if it was.
