very excited to play around. will be attempting to see if i can get character coherence between runs. the issue with the 8s limit is its hard to stitch them together if characters are not consistent. good for short form distribution but not youtube mini series or eventual movies. another comment about IP license is indeed an issue but its why i am looking towards classical works beyond their copyright dates. my goal is to eventually work from short form, to youtube to eventual short films. tools are limited in their current form but the future is promising if i get started now.
how were you able to tell this? still trying to understand what infra is better used for inference (say realtime image category matching) vs training (feeding a chatbot huge sums of data)
i really wonder how they are housing the desktop grade hardware. im so used to rack and stack servers (1U/2U), but do you really need that big of a chassis for a desktop cpu, a couple ram dimm's and some ssd? what are you're thoughts?
They have ATX cases on shelves. You can take a look at this tour of their datacenter [1] for more insight. ATX cases are visible around the 3 minute mark.
The coastal zone is also subject to Coastal Commission oversight, which I believe could override the Builder's Remedy, though the legal specifics would probably have to be settled in court, IIRC. Chris Elmendorf has written on this, if you want details.
But the prospect of a long lawsuit or a long decision will be enough to kill nearly all Builders Remedy projects in the coastal zone, as it would jack up the risk of success far too high to pay for the profits, most likely.
ahh makes sense. not sure how far in the coastal commission would have control, but even a 10 story building far enough in would drastically change the landscape of say the sunset district in San Francisco
i'm heading down the PM path from a CS degree background, working at a tech company for ~2 years. sometimes i wish i had gone into dev work so i could get better satisfaction in the day to day. it also seems like PM hiring is very picky which worries me if i lose my job. anecdotally lots of career pages have lots of open dev positions but few PM roles. is this a factor in your thought process for switching?
It’s an observation I made too. There definitely seem to be fewer PM roles and it makes sense - often there is 1:5 all the way up to 1:10 PM to Engineers ratio. My personal motivation isn’t necessarily a reaction to the market, but more so my general experience and satisfaction as an IC versus a PM. I just feel like I’m more of a coach as a PM than a player in the field. And as I look at my life and reflect on how I ended up here, I can’t ignore that it was very much about playing the game that pulled me in.
totally understand where you're coming from. lots of days i feel like my job is to get the right people involved in the problem, not solve the problem myself. best of luck to you, i might find myself moving a similar direction.
We've been using Graviton (and now 2 and 3) for our node and rails services for over a year now.
Early on there was a rush to get everything supported (aarch64 compiled packages mostly), but now everything works just fine.
We just swapped some c6i.2xlarge servers for c7g.xlarge (graviton 3, half the size of the intel servers) and utilization for our workload (sidekiq jobs, in this case) bumped up maybe 20-30%. The performance is quite good.
I've been running JVM, nginx, and Aurora workloads on Graviton for awhile. The cost savings were too much to pass up, so I moved us over rather quickly where I could.
