This should be the main link imo



To be fair, if I paid $30k+ for an H200, I’d want it to be making money 24/7 rather than idling, so the idle power draw would be strictly theoretical.


It's not always about money.


A two week delay on including new versions would probably work more or less as well with a bunch less effort, but a local proxy looks like it’s going to be a lot more common very soon I’m guessing.


I think the reason that the big guys don’t make money out of old films is that if they did they’d be on the hook to pay the cast & crew(‘s retirement plans).


And I guess if there’s a whole-of-life policy sold in 1962 that hasn’t been terminated - I guess there’s a lot of grandfathered rules that are just easier to keep in their original systems.


I suspect the product telemetry would be more useful - things like success of interaction vs requiring subsequent editing, success from tool use, success from context & prompt tuning parameters would be for valuable to the product than just feeding more bits into the core model.


Oddly enough this also caused similar issues in classical orchestras - in the 90s a bunch of top flight Eastern European and Russian musicians raised the bar of orchestras in places like NZ, with the side effect of having fewer seats for younger musicians to move into.


For example, if someone installs the wrong version of Oracle Java on a VM in our farm, the licencing cost is seven figures as they want to charge per core that it could conceivably run on - this would be career-limiting for a number of people at once.


Or VirtualBox’s extensions which make it usable. Those are free to download but could make you an audit target.


Or even Docker Desktop, which is a bunch of $$ that no-one expects (and I think Microsoft is still recommending in the WSL docs).


Is there still a reason to use VirtualBox?


IMO, no. Maybe inertia from people who learned it long ago and stopped looking at the alternatives.


Sure is - and o3 is missing from the OpenAI models that Azure is serving, which I suspect isn’t a coincidence - if OpenAI has some secret sauce that lets them undercut resellers this might shake up agreements for a bit.


Or rather; the candidate didn’t have a visa, the employer would need to jump through a bunch of hoops, then a multi-month wait, OR can just hire one of the many on-shore candidates available on the market.

I think previously these sorts of offshore people were picked up by big bodyshop contractors, who could reliably place someone (and afford to have someone on the bench for a few weeks if needed) - since a massive bunch of government contracts were cancelled over the last few years this mode has dried up.
