And it's incredible to see people here say that it's just a "skill issue" or whatever, sitting on "young people".

Like do we want the population to grow or not? Which one is it?

Don't forget, if you oppose the CEO you're Xenophobic, racist and far-right!

So you're not able to trust inference providers like Google Cloud w/ ZDR etc with your data?

My EU-based clients are unwilling to do so as we see all clouds as black boxes you have no real idea what you getting into.

Most of our hosting is also on European providers, my team's the only one that deploys some services on Azure.

Here's your trophy, Sir. Indeed China is irrelevant, you are so right!

Thank you. I'd like to thank my comrades, mother and all those who believed in me all these years ...

And (im pretty sure) to get funding from prominent figures who were afraid of AI being monopolized privately and being used for evil...

Can't wait for it to be reintroduced as "Protecting Children and Countering Terrorism Act" in 26/27

If our politicians knew anything about anything, they'd take a leaf out of the US' book and call it "Preventing Risks Online; Thwarting Exploitation of Children and Terrorism": the PROTECT act.

No need to wait for that! The official name is not ChatControl, it is CSAR: Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse

Denmark has the EU Presidency and is currently pushing ChatControl hard (objecting HEAVILY to the moniker/nickname). They try to sell it as “for the children” and “to fight terrorism” here already…

I hate how accurate this is.

It's the guy's username

Not just retail, plenty of these "leaders" think "AGI" is just around the corner that will allow them to lay off all their employees and give them the 90% margins that they deserve

and of course, hype is extremely valuable returns wise, and institutions play into that as well

The CLI also takes like 5 seconds to do anything

It surprises me that it's built in Python (as is AWS'), which doesn't seem like a very appropriate language for exactly this reason. Go would seem much more apposite.

The execution speed of the language the CLI is written in doesn't matter. Any difference is dwarfed by the slowness of network calls, specifically their API response times.

These CLIs are just thin request clients a la curl. The code execution time is peanuts in comparison to the request latency

It's not negligible versus a single request. Even `gcloud --help` takes over a second on this machine - actually getting it to do a simple list request takes almost no time longer over any reasonable connection.

Plus Python is notoriously not easy to deploy for - a Go (or Rust or whatever) binary would have almost no dependencies to worry about.

THIS is the real deal. Some say it's always DNS but many times it's some routing fuckup with BGP. two most cursed 3 letter acronym technologies out there

when a service goes down it's DNS when an entire nation or group of nations vanish it's BGP.
