<p>> The frontier labs have fantastic margin on inference.<p>Source?<p>The OpenAi filing will be very interesting indeed.<p>("trust me bro" statements from sama et al does not count, since I don't trust them)<p>Edit:<p>The best argument I have seen look at the price of inference from smaller companies running open models. And assuming they are profitable-ish. Their prices are lower than the OpenAi and Anthropics best models, so maybe they do make money on inference (ignoring all other costs)</p>

<p>Interesting, this went Tanstack  -> Nx Console -> GitHub<p>I wonder how many other secrets and tokens have been stolen, just waiting to be abused to publish a malicious version of.. something.<p>IMO, the problem is [1] that actually rotation all secrets just because you might have installed a compromised packe is a huuge PITA. So it's tempting to take it lightly and hope for the best. And even if you really try, it's easy to miss one.<p>1: in addition to "running code from whereever" with little sandboxing</p>

<p>I get your point, but GP is right: You said "Default install", not enabled by default.<p>The default install is actually very useful, and includes a lot, like parent said. Having run OpenBSD in the past, I found the their versions of things were often superior, at least for small setups (and some of them for large installs as well.. probably : )</p>

<p>I see a lot of learned helplessness around this stuff. People managed fleets of servers before the cloud you know,  it's not impossible.<p>Cloud has pros and cons, both for small and large setups. I've spent ca 10 years working with GCP, and as the article says, there's a lot of complexity in these systems as well. And the network cost.. yikes</p>

<p>I think you're right that it would be hard to differentiate.<p>I don't think there are many actual experts though, experts as in the people your developers call when they can't figure it out themselves. But the marked is probably small-ish, and there's a large effort to become a real expert.</p>
