Easy solution - use hyperscalers with super expensive API charge only when latency really matters. Otherwise build your own DC. Easy to expect customers don't care latency that much over money.

> 99% more efficient every 3 years

It's 2x efficiency. Then I'd take 50% less power instead of ridiculous 99% less power.

New comment by blmarket in "How to effectively write quality code with AI"

blmarket — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 21:11:15 +0000

Some pattern I found from my hobby project.

1. Keep things small and review everything AI written, or 2. Keep things bloated and let AI do whatever it wants within the designated interface.

Initially I drew this line for API service / UI components, but it later expanded to other domains. e.g. For my hobby rust project I try to keep "trait"s to be single responsible, never overlap, easy to understand etc etc. but I never look at AI generated "impl"s as long as it passes some sensible tests and conforming the traits.

It's a constraint to process item within limited time (regardless of overproduction or power outage). Matching with the problem description.

Surely the reality might be much more complex (like... the yield/quality drop by time function?)

Presto (a.k.a. AWS Athena) might be a faster/better alternative? Also would like to see if 650GB data is available locally.

Yeah, tariffs won't increase the price...

This and several other abuse cases forced my previous work to use code pointers to count 'characters' for user's nickname / status messages. No one wanted to download 9MB simply browsing other users.

Oracle will fight like hell if there is a slightest chance to earn royalty from that trademark.

edit: Microsoft or other companies have no financial benefit on that fight. Even Deno itself has no financial benefit as well. This fight is for goodwill but not justifiable for financial terms (unless you can be the next owner of JavaScript trademark)

with "no", there might be additional reason why. But this office jargon allows you to just defer (indefinitely).
