Hugging Face's new "HF Skills" lets you fine-tune any open-source LLM (0.5B–70B) with just one natural language line. It auto-handles dataset checks, GPU booking, training (SFT/DPO/GRPO), monitoring, and pushing the model to the Hub — all for as little as $0.30 per run.

- ASIC won the crypto mining battle in the past, it's orders of magnitude faster

- Google is not owning the technology but builds a cohesive cloud around it, Tesla, Meta work on their own asic ai chips and I guess others

- A signal is already given: Softbank sold it's entire Nvidia stock and berkshire added google on their portfolio.

Microsoft "has" a lot of companies data, and google is probably building the most advanced ai cloud.

However, I can't think they had a cloud which was light-years ahead of aws 15 years ago and now GCP is no 3, they also released opensource gpt models more than 5 years ago that constituted the foundation for openai closed sourced models.

I would partially disagree here regarding reddit/HN. They are closer to the old forums than to blogs. You do not follow people, you follow themes, concept, "ideas". They are constituted by a bunch of impersonal people with a common interest.

But those forums were also killed by social media. Reddit/hn along with a few other platforms are modern impersonations of those forums. Also the groups on social media are replacing those forums.

In m opinion "the good content will rise on social media", eventually. But you will have to see 9 junk promoted content for an eventually good one.

IMO blogs were killed by big tech and social media. By creating centralized ways to distribute information. They started by killing rss, was way too decentralized. Facebook, Twitter, every single platform are just gate keepers that have complete power on what you see. They all start in the same way, making it convenient to access information, by centralizing it. Once you change your habits, they make it in such a way that you get locked in, and they start inserting in the feed all kind of junk you don't want, until a point when you are sick of it and jump to the next place, which is still in phase one, convenient, enjoyable. Then the story repeat, you end up seeing 90% junk, just to be able to see some of the posts of the people you follow.

Somehow there is a lot of truth in this fake quote: "Those who would give up essential liberty to decide whom to follow, for getting a little temporary convenience in exchange, deserve neither to chose what to read nor convenience"

Nice, I didn't look at the original piece, but this is ai version is viral, it made me want to share this, and usually I don't share stuff.

I would also like to know

"This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe.

Please die.

Please."

Now my discussion, I don't know if it was posted here, i couldn't see it, hard to me to get which is the context to trigger this.

Absolutely true, I tried to build a static blog, tried quite a few static blog generators, for each of them there was something I didn't like, ended up building my own on expressjs. Practically reinventing the wheel, by creating a website and a simple crawler with a few addons, that puts everything on Cloudflare. I assume the average Joe would go for the Wordpress solution, for very good reasons.

Imho, the big lie regarding static sites is that it's showcasing only part of the solution it fixes. In the end it does not reduce complexity, it pushes it away from your immediate attention span(it's serverless), either to building tools, browser and configuration files.

You still need to build it, pick a layout, maybe some plugins. That requires not only the time to do it but also infrastructure behind, to push changes. If you consider that, from the start till the end, there is the same amount of complexity around it. You still need to persist data, md files look more appealing, but in the end is a disk data store, and if you need to collaborate, edit, etc, you end up realizing why why databases were invented.

To conclude, I really like static sites for the reasons I didn't include here.
