Whilst I agree that this seems wasteful and perhaps not economically viable , I am excited for the innovation possibilities that could come from this. The early efforts to get into space gave some really life changing technology - maybe this can help us better understand energy use, conservation or dissipation in ways that could help us with our down to earth devices. Phones? Charging devices?

Holy shit. This wasn't "intentional" this was just openai letting their testing run wild.

Interesting that Google and Apple matched their quarterly earnings in revenue .

Still only 256k input tokens/context. Do they not see utility in larger context?

Not available in the UK - this seems quite common with Google lately, why is that?

What is the patent situation for JPEG XL vs AVIF?

I'm impressed they've updated their status page so quickly, unlike some of their cloud competitors

Side note: the comments in this are all almost as valuable as the content itself. Remember when comments were a way people used to enhance content rather than attack or degrade it?

You do trust one company with thousands of employees though, there's layers/levels of trust on this

Wasn't the same said about Facebook?

There has been a theme of instability with Gitlab.com over the last week or two. I'm not sure if it's growth related (they've seen a steady increase of users/traffic) and they've reached a scaling peak. OR if it's technically related - they've been doing a number of different infrastructure changes over the last few weeks which make a material difference to the main layers of the service.

For me the real test here is how they respond to this. As a paying customer I want to understand the issue, the efforts to prevent this in future and how they communicate this.

CockroachDB seems to be getting a lot of attention and marketing cycles lately... What has made it the focus of late?

Many people seem to complain about the low quality Google search but don't often offer any better alternatives. I can't help but feel like sometimes the quality of the Google search results reflect the quality of the web in general: stocked with a whole lot of spam content that people actually consume.

How do we fix the web?

What is actually happening here? A lot of rhetoric about the "Transfer of data" etc, but other times this just reads like a Google Cloud Infrastructure play, with some consulting on top.

Also - The deal was only just signed, e.g. the transfer hasn't happened yet?

There's a lot of hearsay in all of this reporting...
