iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Anywho, thanks for the discussion! I enjoyed it!

I’m saying once upon a time, Mountain View was just a teensy town… the infrastructure came later

Saline -> Detroit isn’t much further than Mountain View -> San Francisco… in fact they’re the same driving distance I totally get it if Oracle isn’t the same prestige as Google, but overall I wouldn’t underestimate how much things can change

Two pieces: 1) Was Virginia in late 90s much better off re: grad retention & sprawl vs Michigan today? Seems negligible to me 2) isn’t it possible that this investment creates new opportunity, new density, improved towns? I think we’re pinning on present day a bit much

Won’t the extra energy supply be provided to the grid writ large and not private to the DC’s? Potential oversupply of energy seems nice insurance against the AI bubble

Now that they’re building on Huawei, I have little doubt they will close the gap. Especially given how much easier it is to build GPU kernels with LLMs themselves.

Though hoping they continue to open source their work, even though increasingly it seems against their interests

In some sense good for them they have too much demand. It seems doable for them to optimize inference like they always have.

Do you think you’ll use it for work?

Yeah usage is very high. Some serious power users out there.

Is there somewhere we can read more in detail?

The Overton Window on AI Coders has shifted immensely. Just a year ago, everyone dismissed them. And now, folks are genuinely worried about replacement. I feel like software engineers have their own “media cycle” of topics…

IME libraries that help with composition (React, Vue, Svelte, etc) are basically table stakes for generative experiences. Similar to non-web experiences, like Unity or Unreal.

How big was the gain? Curious if you have $$/year type estimations.

This theoretically optimizes data on the wire too. Over protobufs or something similar. Can’t imagine the win is even that big. Intern project at best?

It seems sensible when you’re a massive company with tons of data? I wonder what the cutoff is when this is worthwhile… has to be several PB/day

Nokogiri still lives!!!

Why @why.bsky.world · 09/12/2024

The real question - when is it NOT a mistake? Hyper optimization on byte-length?

It’d be fascinating if bsky can encroach on Twitch/Discord. Though the way it’s going, I don’t see how it’s not going to be an OF competitor…

What are the main monetization methods on decen protocols outside of ads, adult content, micro transactions, or speculation?

It sure does have a publicly accessible firehouse of training data…
