Contributed scores for the M3 Ultra 512 GB unified memory: https://www.localscore.ai/accelerator/404
Happy to test larger models that utilize the memory capacity if helpful.

We just put our ping pong scores on the whiteboard at AppHero, but I think Wattpad built an app that publishes their scores to their website for one of their Hack Fridays: http://www.wattpad.com/life

I haven't done a ton of work with 100tb.com, just a couple servers with them a few years back. It's great bandwidth. They're a SoftLayer reseller, so the nextwork blend is pretty good. I never got close to the 100tb cap, so am not sure if they'd impose some metering if you're doing it on a recurring basis. I feel like most of the people I've talked to about 100tb.com have gone in with the mentality that it's nearly unlimited, but end up using less than 1tb. If you aggregate across a ton of resold servers, I bet it's possible to make the model work pretty well.

Agreed, SKStoreProductViewController is a great addition in iOS 6. Very powerful tool for developers.

Totally agreed. I tried to get that across in the interview for the article. It's pretty hard to say that the pay-for-ranking firms help users, and I think Apple's just taking a first stab at combatting them. I think there's a lot more they can do to improve the ranking algorithm in helping to combat these firms.
As a user and as a developer, I really hope these changes help move some of the blatant junk off the Top Lists.

AppHero, Toronto:
We're looking for an iOS Developer and a Machine Learning Engineer to join our team at AppHero.
AppHero helps consumers discover the most relevant and engaging apps based on personalized recommendations. We learn about users' interests and preferences from Facebook and by detecting the apps installed on their device, then recommend apps they'll love.
We've raised capital from some of the top investors here in Toronto, but are still a small team (4) and can offer generous equity (along with competitive salary).
We're looking for an iOS developer excited about building native apps on iOS using Objective-C and the iPhone SDK.
We're looking for an engineer with experience with natural language processing to join our team and help enhance our recommendations.
Please reach out to me directly if you're interesting in learning more about AppHero! jordan {at} apphero {dot} com

That's a great idea. We're hosting with SoftLayer and have been considering doing something similar. They offer free bandwidth on the private network between data centers (and have pretty good pings between them). With a cloud server in each data center, you could achieve a similar thing while avoiding the need for VPN and not paying for extra bandwidth.

Agreed, and chances are that you won't create a $10M company on your own. Include a reasonable ESOP, a chunk for investors, etc., you're at a lot less than $10M.
Also, building a $10M startup isn't exactly guaranteed. When you factor in the future value, expected exit, dilution and the risk, I think it'll work out to a lot less than $1000/hour. But I don't think that's such a bad thing. I'd bet if you talk to most founders, they'd tell you that they didn't start their company with a big number in their head - they started it because of passion, drive and the desire to make a difference. $1000/hour consulting doesn't equal that sort of lifestyle.
