It's because they're optimizing for a different problem. Western Models are optimizing to be used as an interchangeable product. Chinese models are being optimizing to be built upon.

AI Data-centers and AI Hardware at cost or cost plus. OpenAI's deal with Oracle is more or less at cost... OCI's infrastructure design is just good enough to work well enough most of the time, and you can't get cheaper.

The amount of hidden engineering in Analog systems is mind blowing. Imagine how many hours were spent in a lab figuring out the exact right timings, chemical mixtures, and circuit design needed to make modern Cinema exist as we know it.

It's a shame that they can't transition it to a read-only archive type site, where everything is still accessible and playable- jut no new updates or content.

Man. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was on linux. Good luck! It looks like an amazing product.

Not really. Nomad is closer, and Mesos (the old one) is closer still. I wrote my own as a rust library, and I'm in the progress of further breaking it apart. Might get a prototype finished this weekend and if so, I'll share it her

Same & Agreed. Be aware of what you're doing, and make sure you can realistically be sober 10 out of every 14 days. Dependence/Addiction needs to be avoided at all costs.

I think the part of the discussion that is ignored here is the security aspect. Apple has hardened their hardware against attackers replacing components of the phone with compromised versions. Sure, at the same time it prevents 3rd party re

Previous Job had an in-house RPC system and there was a desire to move to gRPC. This process largely turned into "name and shame" because there was no incentive for some teams to put in the effort to make the changes. They had oth

I'm not saying that they should not be active developers, but people who can enforce change across the entire organization. Previous Job (2500+ devs by the time I left) had an in-house RPc system that was being moved over to gRPC. That

Yep. SRE is not a substitute for high level, overarching architects and designers. One pattern I see is that, as the company grows the development gets split into different product groups which will organically diverge unless there is rigid

PHP & Perl come to mind. You write your program, scp it and it's dependencies to your www/cgi-bin folder on your server, and then navigate to the URL.

You give CloudFormation a list of instructions. It accepts it and gives you an ID to watch for updates, then it goes off and executes them. Terraform executes a list of instructions. It executes them in front of you while you wait. Both are

Begun. The way for us to actively make changes is to do donation projects today. The speed of government is not an advantage here.

I wish IBM had a massively lower barrier to entry. They have a lot of amazing products and tech, but the only way you can use it is to buy a license. When I want to make a simple application, I'm not going to even consider paying for u
