I think after reading all the comments here, it's clear that some people develop an emotional bond with LLM's.
It reminders me of my parents, who were commenting after seeing a robot vacuum cleaner getting stuck in the same place every time "The poor thing was stuck there again, you should really do something about it! Last time the poor thing was sitting there for a day". Like it was a pet.
Or remember that video when the guys from Boston Dynamic kicked that robot dog, and there was an outrage about that?
I wonder if you and me also have a limit, where as robots get more realistic, we would be like "Don't be cruel to that thing!"
Most wifebeaters think everyone beats their wife, and those who don’t like it just need to get over it. Never played gta, and zero interest in such forms of “entertainment.” Normal people don’t play shooter games, sorry.
The original gta was not a shooter game. Also, "normal" boys play computer games, including shooters. Maybe look at the statistics first and see if you are in the normal or abnormal group.
Any source you have that makes the link between wifebeaters and gamers?
Observe the force and facial expression. This was not a pleasant "my heart goes out to you", this was clearly a very agressive salute, even more agressive than how most real nazi's would do it.
It's a bit sad that the only responses you get is "It's based in EU". If that's the only thing, it's not really impressive is it?
Don't get me wrong, as a European I'm all for EU, but we should offer products and services that are at least as good as abroad competitors. My company still relies heavily on US tech, for the simple fact that lots of it is plain better and/or cheaper.
I entirely agree - and we're not aiming to build the eleventh shitty Eurocloud.
We aim at building a platform that wins on product first and foremost. Some areas where we are good/great/best in class globally vs. hyperscalers and other neoclouds:
- End-to-end automated clusters (great)
- GPU VM setup time (best in class)
- Confidential Compute on high end GPU infra (great, only one offering this by default afaik)
- Kernel development support (best in class) - we have NVIDIA themselves using our platform for kernel development. Some exciting products coming out soon (tm).
- Customer support (good/great) Might sound lame but have you tried AWS as a sub 10M revenue customer?
Working hard on some hard engineering problems which will make this list longer!
You should probably say that you are the founder or maybe add that in your profile description so that other people realize you are not just a passionate employee ;) Congratulations to you and everyone at Verda.
Could you elaborate on your last point about AWS? I am interested in what you mean exactly since a lot of companies in Finland fall under that sub 10M umbrella and use AWS / Azure extensively
We have paid extra for support and had poor experience with support tickets that were regarding reliability. Simple questions on standard features are answered quickly enough, but we seldom need that kind of help. What we paid for was to get quick help when the AWS infrastructure caused problems for us, and that simply wasn't worth the money. It was much faster and cheaper for us to move to a different region or recreate resources. A proper support reply usually came in several days after we solved the issue ourselves. I guess the point is that if you pay AWS enough, your account manager would be able to speed up the support process. Possbly, if you spend enough on AWS the support team would prioritize your ticket.
I like the small % of nutcases in my country. We also consider disinformation a national security threat. That way a foreign adversary cannot push the public into voting for an incompetent, ignorant and arrogant criminal narcissist. I don't want my country to turn into an idiocracy.
And concerning your 2nd amendment, I also own guns. The difference is that only sane, non-violent people can have guns in my country, and crazy people not. You know, crazy people that would take their guns to schools and start shooting.
Good observation. If they are able to keep foreign AI out and stifle small startups with big regulatory upfront costs, they only compete with each other. And if they are all smart, they can keep their prices high and don't compete each other to death.
They certainly seem to be implying it. And not only that, disinformation narratives often to to emphasize domestic political troubles that fan the flames of skepticism against mainstream institutions, and their reply to a topic about Russia was to go straight to that particular well.
When the mainstream institutions are obviously divorced from reality ( Nordstream - "Russians did it themselves", or every mainstream news segment in spring 2022 starting with "unprovoked full scale invasion of Ukraine" where even a casual glance at numbers involved (~ 180000) pales in comparison with what US used in Iraq I or II), you don't need disinformation narratives to elicit skepticism against mainstream institutions. A bit of common sense is entirely sufficient.
One could even argue the mainstream institutions were involved in disinformation narratives (e.g., in the case of 40 beheaded babies or widespread systematic rape on Oct 7th: did not bother to check the facts before spreading it wide).
> Do you claim that Russia doesn't invest in disinformation campaigns against the West?
Maybe it do invest. But that has about zero effect. If Russian disinformation campaigns were working, they would work in Russia as well, but that's not happening.
