Both Franz Kafka and Factorio come from Prague after all.

My ethernet is also capped at 1 Gb/s for most of my computers. The 10 Gb/s connection is still useful as it makes sure that things running at different devices won't affect each other. Streaming won't affect games won't affect work-related video calls. It's great.

That is a narrative that misses the point of the thread and is generally not compatible with hard data. For example, the amount of suicides in US during 2020 went down.

It's not a string either though: in the same way integer addition (almost always) does not make sense, string concatenation (almost always) does not make sense either. The proper type would allow for equality check and explicit string (de)serialization only.

I guess it depends how you think about it. From computational perspective, it's heavyweight. On the other hand, it really optimizes for minimal human effort, on several levels:
* GPT-3 is conceptually simple: the effort to invent it and engineer it amortizes well.
* Once the model is trained, it can be reused to very different tasks.
* Querying doesn't require programming knowledge.

I think we are really torturing language here. I don't want to get into specifics of what constitutes business value, how to value brand and customer satisfaction and so on. I can add more examples like https://deepmind.com/blog/article/deepmind-ai-reduces-google... that shows how neural networks helps in the pure bottom-line sense you care about.
Let me close my argument: neural network techniques developed in the last ten years are super useful here and now, they are used by billions of people every day and they do make their lives easier.

Voice recognition, translation, OCR, image classification, etc. is done through neural networks mostly nowadays.
If https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Translate does not seem like having business value to you, then I don't understand what you mean by "business value".

Moloch did force them.

Most of batch workloads are not that latency sensitive. You can send them to the other side of the world as everyone is sleeping there right now.

I don't understand why you think it's hard to tell your CI/CD pipeline to run itself on a schedule. I find this totally consistent with my tooling (I have CI/CD in place for many different reasons, this is one of them) and I don't know how this CI/CD cron makes me "packaging maintainer and infrastructure maintainer".
"With containers, you are responsible for figuring out which ones need which packages and how to re-build them."
Yeah, you need to know how to rebuild your world in ANY CASE. It's not an argument against containers that they require an approach that is the best practice.

No, in the context of the conversation, it's an argument for a higher valuation of the entity.
The value of every corporation primarily reflects expectation of future profits. That's the reason P/E ratios differs a lot even for established companies.
