Melonotromo··on Why don't you move abroad?
You are mixing up different things and you don't get the point...

1. traveling gives you experiences. You don't need to travel constantly to learn and gain from traveling.

2. Moving away from home (abroad or to a big city) gives you again a lot of new experiences. New insights, new world view.

If i move home today, i'm a complet different person than my friends which never left and while certain things might look the same from the outside, its not.

Melonotromo··on Epic Allows Internet Archive to Distribute Unreal and Unreal Tournament Forever
Fortnite uses Unreal Engine 5, the most advanced Game Engine in existens which sourcecode is freely available for a few years now.

Open sourcing old stuff is a lot of effort. You need to find all people involved or know the legal status of the copyright. You need to go through all the code in case you had some properitary stuff in there which you might have paid for. And you need to do all of this next to what you normally do without a direct benefit.

Melonotromo··on An Uncanny Moat
We call them unironically INFLUENCERS. Like isn't that the most disturbing fucked up mental cognitive dissonance ever?

Like do we just accept that they are called Influencers and completly ignore what this word actually means?

Melonotromo··on An Uncanny Moat
Educating people to be independent and smart about their lives.

Provide kitchens and teach kids to cook and clean.

Show them in the schools how healthy and good food tastes and looks like.

Melonotromo··on Launch HN: Regatta Storage (YC F24) – Turn S3 into a local-like, POSIX cloud FS
What is then your initial latency if i start an AI job 'fresh'? You still need to hit the backend right? How long do you then keep this data in your cache?

Btw. while your experience works well for Netflix, in my company (also very big), we have LoBs and while different teams utilize their storage in a different way, none of us are aligned on a level that we would benefit directly from your solution.

From a pure curiosity point of view: Do you have already enough customers which have savings? What are their use cases? The size of their setups?

Your pricepoint is very bad. The overprovicioning statement in your Post indicated that you would be a 'cheap' alternative but 100gb for $5?

I'm also not sure that its a good architecture to have your servers inbetween my S3. If i'm on one cloud provider, the traffic between their S3 compatible solution and my infrastructure is most of the time in the same cloud provider. And if not, i will for sure have a local cache rcloning the stuff from left to right.

I also don't get your calculator at all.

Melonotromo··on The shrimp welfare project
Shrimps don't suffer. No one 'suffers'.

Suffering is an expresion / concept we humans have because we called a certain state like this. Suffering is something a organism presents if that organism can't survive or struggles with survival.

Now i'm a human and my empathy is a lot stronger for humans, a lot, than for shrimps.

Btw. i do believe if we would really care and make sure fewllow humans would not need to suffer (they need to suffer because of capitalsm), a lot of other suffering would stop too.

We would be able to actually think about shrimps and other animals.

Melonotromo··on Generative AI doesn't have a coherent understanding of the world
This statement actually comes from "you don't need a perfect solution to start selling" or something similiar.

Nonetheless, i do wish for a Star Trek like future and we can't reach it as long as we humans work normal jobs we can automate away.

Melonotromo··on Generative AI doesn't have a coherent understanding of the world
We build them as we do because we grow up in them first.

AI gets trained on a lot of different worlds (books, stories, science, etc. )

Melonotromo··on Generative AI doesn't have a coherent understanding of the world
Explain to me how a normal human is intelligent then?

How often have you talked to someone and showed them evidence through logic or other means and they just don't get it? Or just don't want to accept it?

Are people who do not properly self reflect, non-intelligent?

AI only needs to be as good as a human and cheaper

Melonotromo··on DeepL Voice: Real-time voice translations for global collaboration
They do both show demos.
Melonotromo··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
I'm saying this for years and deleted all my personal credit cards on cloud providers which can scale/bankrupt me in a minute.
