The outage impacted GitSocial minor version bump release: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitSocia...

There's no way to tell, and after about 30 minutes, the release process on VS Code Marketplace failed with a cryptic message: "Repository signing for extension file failed.". And there's no way to restart/resume it.

Decentralized social layer for Git repositories.

Nvidia should snatch him.

I have a feeling Apple will make a play for him.

Apple is considered to be seriously lagging behind in ML. Just his name alone is probably enough for the time being - They can give him his own lab to do whatever he wants. Ilya will attract enough talent, at least some of whom will be willing to take up responsibility over commercial stuff in the coming years.

I have a feeling he would like to publish some stuff, and apple doesnt do that

Times have changed.

Ilya is very much in favor of closed source AI albeit for different reasons. I don't see a problem here.

I think so too, GTP-4o but replacing Siri would be world-changing for mobile

That, or something like it, might well be coming at WWDC next month...

They sell the shovels and the buckets, they're not digging for gold.

They do participate pretty heavily in ML research from what I've seen. To continue your metaphor, they try to invent as many gold digging techniques as possible which exclusively work with their own shovels and buckets.

Yep, see for example ‘Earth 2’.

If you look at deep learning super sampling, they are doing digging and being pretty successful at it.

They've got money for a very BIG experiment tho

I feel like they’re not going to want to go into direct competition with their most valuable customers.

Haven't most of the most valuable customers already started rolling their own Nvidia hardware replacements?

Hedging maybe. But there's no real competition currently.

their most valuable customer is cloud providers and they’re already taking big stakes and picking winners

They would if they could

Doesnt hurt to also sell the gold

That is not the main prupose of Nvidia and will make microsoft, google, fb worried too much to go away from Nvidia.

Being both coach and player at the same time is not a good idea.

Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by the Nobel Prize Literature winner Sveltana Alexievich who also wrote Chernobyl Prayer is quite a good insight into what a Soviet person is: https://www.amazon.com/Secondhand-Time-Soviets-Svetlana-Alex...

This has not been updated in a year or so as I am working on a Svelte-based replacement:

It shows which DJ's are playing at which nightclubs.

Since Covid started it has been quite empty, hence API/Svelte replacement.

What are the benefits of using Crossplane as opposed to Terraform?

It seems like you would still use both. Terraform to provision your Kubernetes cluster and other non-application specific infrastructure.

It seems like, and I have only briefly read the article, Crossplane is meant to bring all that application specific cloud infrastructure into the same configuration files you would use for defining you Kubernetes application.

So along with defining your ingress you define your mysql database and it gets provisioned. This keeps all your application specific provisioning together instead of having to use Terraform to provision your database ahead of time and keep it in sync with the application.
