Readit NewsI/O is hard to benchmark so it's often ignored since you can just scale up your disks. It's a common gotcha in the cloud. It's not a show stopper, but it blows up the savings you might be expecting.
Your use case is the _worst_ use case for the cloud.
For some reason people more easily understand the limits of CPU and memory, but overlook disk constantly.
Glad you're hear to tell people they are dumb and they should work around systemic problems instead of trying to fix the system.
What prevents people from just using Google, who can build AI stuff into their existing massive search/ads/video/email/browser infrastructure?
Normal, non-technical users can't tell the difference between these models at all, so their usage numbers are highly dependent on marketing. Google has massive distribution with world-wide brands that people already know, trust, and pay for, especially in enterprise.
Google doesn't have to go to the private markets to raise capital, they can spend as much of their own money as they like to market the living hell out of this stuff, just like they did with Chrome. The clock is running on OpenAI. At some point OpenAI's investors are going to want their money back.
I'm not saying Google is going to win, but if I had to bet on which company's money runs out faster, I'm not betting against Google.
They do now, that's why they are using a shell game to pump up the stock value.
If you're speaking of the Democrats, they've been following the Neoliberalist playbook to the letter for decades: deregulate businesses, defund social programs, reduce taxes. This (the housing crisis) is the direct result of their half-competent technocratic stewardship of the economy. (And let's not spare the actually malevolent Republicans from sharing the blame in turning this land from an actual country into a billionaire's playground).
This "Abundance" movement is to be taken as a rebranding of the same tired and destructive Neoliberalist policies, and nothing else. It is ported by the same old people and politicians that have been slowly running this country to the ground. There is absolutely nothing new to be found in their manifestos: deregulate businesses, defund social programs, reduce taxes.
Housing can either be affordable or an investment vehicle, but not both at the same time. Actual leftists understand this very basic premise, but the astroturfed Abundance "movement" remains blind to it. Left-wing populism is slowly gaining ground in the face of an extremely complacent and ineffective Democratic establishment, and Abundance is a last-ditch effort to sold democratic voters on the same garbage they've been eating since the 1980s.
e.g. S3 has many times encountered increased error rate but doesn't report. No one says anything about S3.
People will say many things, but their behaviour is to reward the lie. Every growth hack startup guy knows this already.
I know someone who wasn't. She had serious concussion. It's not something you want. 2 years off work. Petrochemical engineer - no longer works in the industry because of the injury.
Also, SAN is often faster then local disk if you have a local SAN.
