Maybe they can also get FIFA Peace prizes next?

They should get UEFA peace prize to temporarily get off Greenland.

Not fucking-up in the first 8 weeks does not seem too difficult to achieve

It’s not difficult to achieve to setup a company within 15 minutes too but here we are.

If you're starting a business from scratch, that's 50% of what you do, and it lasts longer than 8 weeks.

Tariffs on Chinese EV cars that would obliterate the German automotive industry and economy?

Is that why Texas is gerrymandering their maps again? Is it to have "fair" elections?

Or why GOP legislatures in states like Wisconsin or North Carolina remove powers from Governor, AG and other elected positions only when Democrats win but not when Republicans do?

Why doesn't China gerrymander their maps?

Changing topics I see

Because they have the most fair elections. Duh.

Don't they also depend on chips for a lot of components?

Probably a lot more from TI and Intel than Taiwan.

I'd be curious how many of the design and verification (using computer vision) tools used at TI and Intel rely on on farms of stock GPUs thus chips still made in Taiwan. They might have in house chips just for such part of their workflows though, any insight appreciated.

The USD dollar sank -10% this last year versus the euro.

The Euro sank -10% this last year versus the Zambian Kwacha

Zambia doesn't actually matter though.

Yet it's a stronger performing currency

All you're saying is "it went up more". Still irrelevant impact in the world.

How could the founder manage to live his life with merely tens of millions of dollars. What a tragedy.

Did you miss the part where they paid millions to a jurisdiction where they didn’t actually conduct business? Or are you of the wealth envy “taxes as punishment” mindset that believes every dollar eared is one immorally coerced from others - because thats how your comment reads. Personally, I’d rather see that money redeployed either as local taxes or even just capital to be spent in the founders own jurisdiction.

> Did you miss the part where they paid millions to a jurisdiction where they didn’t actually conduct business?

You mean besides opening a company in said jurisdiction? They took advantage of said jurisdiction by incorporating there and then had to pay taxes for it. Seems pretty straight forward.


My AWS cost optimiser is to use a hosting provider instead of AWS.

Using AWS may not be your decision. If you're stuck using it by company policy, OP's tool could make you a workplace hero.

Yup.

One day, as you spend vast resources tracking and cutting and worrying about your AWS expenses, you’ll think “hey I could cut 100% of AWS costs by not using it!”.

Thinking about cutting AWS costs is your first step on the journey to never using it.


That’s great, until realise that you’re now spending money on infrastructure elsewhere instead.

I’m not going to pretend AWS is cost effective for every type of problem. But the comments here are overly simplistic.

Also, and more generally, I find it disappointing that when someone has made an open source tool to help the community, most of the comments are cheap attacks at the cost of running AWS. Poor etiquette guys.


> I’m not going to pretend AWS is cost effective for every type of problem. But the comments here are overly simplistic.

There overly simplistic comments from the "run from AWS" crowd as well as from the "just outsource everything to cloud" crowd. Nowadays going to cloud is still the easiest and safest bet if the company is not yours and it's big enough.


Run from AWS is also completely arbitrary. Someone building an expensive Rube Goldberg machine out of lambdas might hit cost problems way before someone essentially using AWS as a VPS provider with bare metal EC2

Not in this thread there isn’t. And that’s what I’m replying to.


Sorry, I didn't understand the comment

Using Hetzner or IVH will cut your infra bill by 4x or 5x

This is true, but be careful about losing the work experience. Companies love cloud computing and somehow are conditioned to want to pay for them and anyone who works on them. I received a devops job application rejection because they didn't see cloud computing providers on my resume. That's because I highlighted running my own dedicated servers.

That’s because architecting stuff for the cloud effectively means you’re building your infrastructure differently to how you’d run dedicated servers. I say this as someone who’s done both professionally.

As a DevOps hiring manager, if you said to me “I don’t have cloud experience but I can do all the same things with dedicated servers” then I’d likely pass on you for another candidate too.

A better way to frame your applications is “I have significant on prem experience using DevOps methodologies, and I’m excited to broaden them with Cloud technologies.” That way you’re acknowledging your knowledge gap and turning it into a positive.


Cool. Enjoy!

Makes no sense to me, there's no synergy between LLMs and databases besides the vector search features.
