Hyperscalers buy so many CPUs and so much RAM they can dictate prices (to a point) or at least make an agreement to buy at a much lower price but buy X amount for the next 5 years.

It's ironic that the country that screams freedom loudest is actually not that free after all.

Yes, although to be fair we have around 1.8kWp, plus roof installation material, plus shipping.

Hi, sorry I'm late to respond. The price was something like this: 150€ Hoymiles HMS-800W-2t 300€ 4 Trina Solar 445W Full Black panels 100€ Shelly Pro 3em (not necessary but I wanted to see how much we feed in) The rest was construction materials and small stuff. We have mounted it on our roof, 900W East, 900W West. One east and one west panel are wired in parallel and connected to one MPPT of the HMS-800W. We're producing around 1.3MWh per year.

I live in Germany, installed a micro solar system in September 2024. Since then, we've been producing 45% of our electricity consumption ourselves. This has saved us 550€, while the initial cost was around 800€. So this September, after 2 years, the system will have paid for itself.

Why would I ever want to book a course with someone who just realized weeks ago they don't know if the code does what they want if they don't look at it?

Natural Gas is such a weird PR term coined by fossil industry. I think the term "fossil gas" is much clearer.

Does that mean that you also don't switch to newer Anthropic models? Because they would change similarly, wouldn't they?

You're right, I didn't pay attention there. Still seems that there a many solutions better suited than S3. Probably a classic case of "We need an MVP fast, let's optimize later".

Exactly, my first thought was "Why in earth would anyone think that S3 was the right service to store millions of tiny ephemeral files?" and now it seems they have invented their own in-memory store instead of just using something like Redis. I also wonder what happens if their DIY thingy crashes, are the videos lost? Why not send to Kinesis or SQS in the first place?

To be honest I have never used Cursor nor do I know their pricing, but isn't revenue kind of a stupid metric if you're just a frontend for a paid API? Like wouldn't almost all of this revenue just go through them towards OpenAI or Anthropic?

The only thing missing is replacing the head of the federal reserve bank with a mindless puppet so they stop standing in the way of success (inflation).
