> "Do you want Google to summarize your search results?" "Yes please!"

In which information bubble this is happening? This particular item is particularly negative for more than one reason. The general public never asked for it, it was pushed down our throats just like all fantastic ideas of the past such as Google+.

> general public is even less interested in AI

Part of the problem is that the term has become utterly diluted to the point of becoming meaningless - any computer system can be called AI nowadays.

But what I think people dislike most is the genre of Generative AI aka AI slop: images and texts generated by machines, often of low quality, unchecked or barely checked by humans. Another one is cost cuts by replacing human support with automated responses - which can give you abysmal experience even in trivial cases.

Unfortunately it will take years.

It loosely reminds me of the move "The World's End".

Provided that China actually knew about it; this is what Putin would like us to believe but I doubt it as there is absolutely no benefit for them.

A Chinese billionaire is losing money on a ship that isn't generating revenue. Either they made a deal directly with the tsar that is worth that cost or they were ordered by the emperor to take the hit.

> They choose not to seek them out.

Some of them. And the answer to "how many?" is incredibly hard to answer.

> If your belief is the United States is so bad that it justifies murder, you should leave.

That's a weird conclusion. For me, it's rather "The USA has its flaws (for me - healthcare and higher education financing above all) so we as a society should focus on fixing these problems". Killing people or leaving the country are not solutions, they are are an equivalent of short Twitter replies on a nuanced subject.

I agree! I'm only suggesting leaving if you think murder is justified.

Sorry, we are too busy arguing the pricing model.

haha thanks. But I have a simple question I still dont quite understand. Is the o1 on Plus the same as o1 pro? or is the o1 pro just o1 but with more credits for compute essentially.

Maybe in an expensive coffee shop in the USA.

In Italy, an espresso is ca. 1€.

> Hetzner volumes are, in my experience, too slow for a production database. While you may in the past have had a good experience running customer-facing databases on AWS EBS, with Hetzner's volumes we were seeing >50ms of IOWAIT with very low IOPS.

There is a surprisingly easy way to address this issue: use (ridiculously cheap) Hetzner metal machines as nodes. The ones with nvme storage offer excellent performance for dbs and often have generous amounts of RAM. I'd go as far as to say you'd be better off to invest in two or more beefy bare metal machines for a master-replica(s) setup rather than run the db on k8s.

If you don't want to be bothered with the setup, you can use one of many modern packages such as Pigsty: https://pigsty.cc/ (not affiliated but a huge fan).

There are plenty of options for running a database on Kubernetes whilst using local NVMe storage.

There are just pinning the database pods to specific nodes and using a LocalPathProvisioner or distributed solutions like JuiceFS, OpenEBS etc.

Thanks, hadn’t heard of pigsty. As you say, I had to use nvme ssds for the dbs, the performance is pretty good so I didn’t look to get metal nodes.

I've had great experiences with using the bare metal server's local storage.

This is the guide I wrote for our customers: https://syself.com/docs/hetzner/apalla/how-to-guides/storage...

Thanks for the Pigsty link. I have been a big fan of running Postgres on metal machines.
