Everyone: things suck, better move my stuff on a small home server. The hyper-scaler mafia: NOT ON MY WATCH! The only silver lining is that newer devices will have to scale down memory, so developers will have to ditch memory-sucking frameworks and start to optimize things again.

Saw this one coming and got my personal stuff out. It's running on an old Lenovo crate chucked in my hallway.

Work is fucked. 23TB of RAM online. Microservices FTW. Not. Each node has OS overhead. Each pod has language VM overhead. And the architecture can only cost more over time. On top of that "storage is cheap so we won't bother to delete anything". Stupid mentality across the board.

But hey, we get slop videos of the pope doing something funny, that's just as cool as being able to purchase computer hardware, right?

To be fair, heise is a german news site, and the very article is auto-translated by AI from its german counterpart.

AI use for translation is a good fit for the tech. The problem is generative AI.

It has Claude all over it. When you spend enough time with them it becomes obvious. In this case “it’s not x, it’s y” pattern and its placement is a dead giveaway.

Isn't this ironic to use AI to formulate a comment against AI vendors and hyperscalers.

It's not ironic, but bitterly funny, if you ask me.

Note: I'm not an AI, I'm an actual human without a Claude account.

The phrasing. "It's not just X, it's Y," overuse of "quotes"

It is my text, enchanced by AI. Without AI, I would never have used the word "Monopsony". So I learned something new writing this comment.

The irony is lost on you ...
