Cofounder here, looks like formatting is a bit off. I do wonder why HN hasn’t invested in a better editor/display that could avoid these kind of display issues.
I've been writing software with Go for over a decade now so it's just down to ease of use and what I know. It's performant, straightforward, compiled. It's a no nonsense language and does what it says. I'm not the type to get into language wars. I have a tool, I use it, that's it. Thanks for the question.
hi cofounder here. until now it's been custom deployments for customers with additional b2b/enterprise features. we're also releasing a managed service for a flat fee subscription
Still figuring out pricing! For our first customers, we're doing pricing as either bytes scanned or by compute time, similar to BigQuery. Also experimenting with a contract that also gives the minimum of the two potential charges (up to a sustainable limit).
However, for deployments to the customer's cloud, it would be a stereotypical enterprise license + support.
Can't wait to actually add an FAQ to the site, hopefully based off the questions asked here. Pricing is one of the things preventing me from just allowing self-serve, since it has to be stable, sustainable, and cheap!
Also, with the GPU clouds, pricing would have to be different per cloud, though I guess I can worry about that later. Would be crazy cheap(er) to process on them.
As far as I know, GPUs are definitely still being used in crypto/web3... and AI for that matter :P
Of all of em Zuck seems to be at highest risk of some wildcard stuff happening. Unless musk or bezos personally get on rocket.
I don't wish ill of anyone ofc but with his forays into extreme forms of recreation and aviation and such there's a chance of a different surprise story.
