JPEG and PNG are good enough. Encoders and decoders are heavily optimized and omnipresent. No patent issues (either patent-free or expired).
We should focus on other more pressing issues. This one is basically solved.
Ah yes the ubundend fiber in rural areas around the globe.
You do understand that this is not for you if you have high bandwidth and low latency right?
You lost me at UI. But I’m one who believes if you don’t write your software defined infrastructure as software, you’ll regret life pretty soon.
We have 99% IaC.
I still don't mind upgrading a k8s cluster on the UI, monitoring it's healthy and than patching the tf code for the newest minor version.
This is certainly a troll post. I use all three cloud providers. GCP is the worst of all, just try their simple text to speech UI. It doesn’t work most of the times.
Don’t even get me started on a deployment story for GCP their deployment manager is deprecated and redirect you to use terraform.
I hate to swallow it but Azure was more usable and straightforward.
And.i don't?
I have over 10 years of experience across all cloud providers and you just assume I'm a troll?
That's not a way to have a discussion in good faith...
FLOPS are one thing, but 192 GB of unified memory that can be used as VRAM is something else. That could be a big win on the inference side of things, where even an RTX 4090 GPU is limited to only 24 GB.
Then there's the power consumption difference to consider. This seems like one of those cases where benchmarks reveal only a fraction of the larger picture.
On purpose to keep a100 and h100 on an additional premium.
The M2 has been a bit underwhelming in general through all of its iterations: Apple jumped into such a lead with the M1 [1], so it was disappointing when they slowly iterated while Intel and AMD have made enormous strides catching up. Everyone keeps citing TDP, but given that we're talking about desktops that just isn't a huge factor.
Having said that, the 7950X was released late February, and the 13900KS was released in mid January. Both of this year. Both are their premiere available chips right now in the segment. Referring to them like they're last year's junk is rather silly.
[1] Though fun fact with the M1, I remember super disappointing Geekbench results leaking before its release. People do know how low trust the site is, right? The computer identifiers on the claimed "M2 Ultra" devices claim to be Macbook Pro 14" devices....which aren't getting M2 Ultras for obvious reasons. In all likelihood someone is making guesses and posting nonsense.
How does that not matter on a fair comparison?
It's a no brainer anyway to get more performance from desktop and non apple much cheaper due to apples pricing.
Apple has a huge advantage price / performance wise with the cheap m based Mac book air.
The comparison with a Mac book pro which costs 2-3k is slightly less so.
Just an anecdotal counter point: very happy with gcp.
Best network from all and coherent modern ui.
Not the usability hell like azure... (You know when clicking on a often used resource on the start page which let's you jump directly to it but doesn't allow you to jump a level up of all the other resources of the same type which totally works fine when you navigate to it the normal way... Or the huge hassle and complexity of resource groups for f everything...)
But you know the tweet not even states what quota was reduced.

It's not your job to keep their spirit up.
But it's not necessary your job either to bring them down.
Just tell them honestly if they take a big risk that you see a risk and why.
I agree that it's reasonable to apply existing securities laws to cryptocurrency, and I agree that "but they let us go public" is a bad argument, but Gensler's SEC has also been intentionally obtuse about how those securities laws should apply to cryptocurrency. It's not a company's job to go to court over ambiguous regulations, it's the SEC's job to actually research what they are regulating and put out a comprehensive framework for how they make their regulatory determinations, because the Howey Test is so subjective that it's leaving companies guessing on the cutting edge of public programmable assets.
Look at the UK's upcoming crypto bills for an example of commonsense regulation that protects consumers and is in everyone's best interest. The contrast between it and the US's approach is striking.
Crypto was advertised as decentralized and unregulated.
Most arguments I had with cryptobros were some sudo arguments about this stuff instead of just omitting that it's all about speculations.
