No US has been "winning" or rather leading thus far, but there is no guarantees that it will ever "win". I do not subscribe to idea of omnipotent omnipresent AGI. China plays a long game, I think DeepSeek does not engage in platform building on purpose. DeepSeek was probably assigned with a role of a primer lab, the goal is to replace CUDA, align with Huawei chips to do cutting edge research and cross-pollinate other teams in China. They might even hide the best models on purpose. In a long run China will use its industrial capability to apply and use AI better than anyone else. And that would be a good thing for the World.

It's not "AI bubble" - at this point it's a software bubble. It's Antropic or OpenAI that should justify their valuations, they have close to billion customers at this point. It's non-AI software companies without strong cloud business that must justify why their core product is not going to be replaced with the help of LLMs. It's not "fair" but that is how it's seen by the Wall Street.

>> And, yet, the US AI companies are not actually making a profit, right?

I think they already, actually making profits especially Antropic. But think how important it's from a business standpoint - the entire software stack from OS to Databases to browsers will be rewritten in the near future, for a company such as Oracle or IBM it means their bread and butter/cash cow can be replaced. It's worth almost any kind of Capex. And from Washington standpoint it's more important than F-35 program or even Apollo mission.

No, Alibaba is excellent top-5 easily.

The trade war and tariffs are bringing inflation, consumer prices will soar, but from a geoeconomical standpoint this will hurt China (And EU) more than US. US consumer on average has the deepest pockets in the World and people the top will make money on insider trading, stock anyways. If AI tokens will become like US dollar, it will be under total control of the Fed.

True, I would have preferred benevolent dictator scenario, like with the Internet. But this time around it's different - AI data centers will be protected like embassies.

Jobs, Wozniak, Gates - it's a myth that you need poor migrants pulling themselves by their bootstraps to innovate. Sometimes a nazi scientist like Wernher von Braun is what it takes.

It's a myth. IBM, Xerox, HP, DEC was innovating long before H1B's.

The goal is global domination as always, unfortunately. DARPA and the Pentagon helped create the Internet, and Silicon Valley later turned it into a major commercial success.

New comment by akrylov in "Terraform and Ansible is not enough"

akrylov — Sat, 17 May 2025 12:46:16 +0000

Terraform and Ansible are powerful tools for infrastructure automation, but they fall short in handling complex, long-running workflows, state management, and fault tolerance. Modern DevOps tooling often struggles with scalability, error recovery, and dynamic orchestration across distributed systems. A workflow engine addresses these gaps by providing robust orchestration, retries, checkpointing, and multi-tool integration, making it a prerequisite for scaling operations in dynamic, cloud-native environments.

New comment by akrylov in "Helm and YAML templating was a mistake: A Makefile Manifesto"

akrylov — Fri, 16 May 2025 19:16:57 +0000

Modern Kubernetes deployment methodologies have grown increasingly complex, layering abstraction upon abstraction in pursuit of flexibility. This article challenges that trajectory by examining how fundamental Unix tools combined with Makefiles can provide a more transparent and maintainable alternative to popular solutions like Helm and Kustomize.

New comment by akrylov in "Fine-Tuning Models with Your Own Data, Effortlessly"

akrylov — Wed, 07 May 2025 06:40:07 +0000

Most blog posts focus on using top-tier LLMs or setting up complex AI pipelines for large corporations. But what if your data is private, and you don’t have access to top-tier ML talent or massive infrastructure? In this article, we show how to fine-tune a model for mid-sized software development teams or IT support, using your own domain expertise. With Apache Answer and InstructLab, you can build a powerful, cost-effective AI solution tailored to your specific needs.
