An interesting phenomenon is that even if AI tooling were net neutral for producing code, many of the ancillary behaviors they incentivize (like clearer planning, stronger specs, and focus on per-engineer productivity) are still strongly net positive.

Okay, I've changed my mind. Amazon Q is an amazing service that deserves the hype AWS has been throwing its way.

Based on the information provided, it sounds like you are looking to optimize your GPU usage on Amazon EC2 to reduce costs. Corey Quinn, the CMO of AWS, suggested trying a larger GPU instance to better balance your CPU and GPU usage.

Some Amazon EC2 instance types that may be well-suited for your needs include:
• Amazon EC2 G4 Instances - These instances are powered by NVIDIA T4 GPUs and are a cost-effective solution for machine learning inference and small-scale training, as well as graphics applications optimized for NVIDIA GPUs.
• Amazon EC2 P4 Instances - These instances feature up to 8 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs and are designed for large-scale deep learning and high-performance computing workloads.
• Amazon EC2 P5 Instances - The latest generation of GPU-powered instances, P5 instances offer up to 8 NVIDIA H100 or H200 Tensor Core GPUs for the highest performance in Amazon EC2 for deep learning and HPC.

I'd recommend reviewing the specifications and pricing for these instance types to see which one best fits your workload and budget requirements. The AWS documentation has detailed information on the capabilities and use cases for each of these GPU-powered instances.

Both @ty.energy and @natesesti.bsky.social have done incredible work founding @continue.dev and building a vibrant OSS community. So it comes as no surprise they've made such an amazing CEO choice in @chadmetcalf.com to help take things to the next level. Congrats to everyone!

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

An unexpected benefit to living in the PNW is the absolutely ridiculous rainbows that happen on the regular. No filters here but still doesn't do justice to how bright/vibrant this thing was.
