at some point the cost of transferring will dwarf the cost you pay to NVIDA. I bet that is their bet


isn't MSFT the one screwed here. Who is on the line to provide more compute for them .


We dont have enough gpus.


If i want to sell more of my closed models , this is excellent the kind of research i would pursue too


I don’t know man , the porn games getting more and more weird is the slippery slope


Cool , I just include this in the prompt when writing for wiki. And ask the llm specifically to not write like this . What am i missing?


The fact that it’s still highly likely to write like this and hallucinate information.


Then the content will fit right it with the rest.


why would anyone work in startups as early devs anymore. Tell me what is the upside? There seems to be only downsides. Startup Fails , you loose - Gets acquired - you loose What is the motivation to perform .


If you want to write new code and have a lot of influence over the overall implementation instead of fixing bugs on a years old steaming pile of tech debt.

Not all places with large existing codebases are that bad, but if you are experienced, it can be very personally satisfying doing something well before it has degraded over time.

I have worked in quite a few. One is a household name down here in Australia. I was the first engineer with the two founders. I worked 2 years 24/7 for half the salary I got when I left. I'll never get my money back but that's ok as I loved the time there.


Working on decently cool things with relatively limited bureaucracy.


You can do that at established companies. If the cool thing comes to an end you'll often have a boring job you can keep or stay at while you find something else.


Because you like the work you are doing and the projects you are working on?

Presumably you have a lot more control and freedom to do things how you want than at a large company with a lot of red tape etc.

That's the main reason I would do it.


So "heads I win, tails you lose!"


faang has sucked the oxygen in the air. For experienced engineers, the one upside to startups is if you are a founder and you are creating a change you want to see in the world. But this delusion is shattered as time goes by and you realize that you are only a cog in a smaller wheel, whereas, in bigtech you are a cog in a bigger one.

On average, startups tend to have a better culture due to the incentives at play compared to big-tech. And that attracts engineers regardless of the comp.

You get to make a nice payout for a VC. And isn't that all of our life goals?


If the new h1b lottery laws pass they are screwed. these guys pay the absolute minimum required and run solely on h1b labor.



Interesting you put perplexity in there
