I’m doing a small tour of small venues in New Zealand at the end of the month, and if you want a big show on NZ Politica, you should grab a ticket and come down…

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

Interesting www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/. The headline claim here is OpenAI have spent 8.7 billion just on inference with Azure so far this year.
I've been pondering this for a while, LLMs are clearly useful to people, but is there a business model yet, or do we still need another hardware cycle.

I saw this red flag on a tor up near Wistman's wood. Wondered what on earth it was for, whether it was some kind of signal, or marked an outdoor event. Contemplated heading up the hill to check it out, but decided in the end that the other direction looked more scenic.

Oof, Scaleway, what a trash outfit. Tried them out as an EU alternative to GCP/Azure/AWS, starting with a test instance. Next day got an email asking me to repeat information already submitted, and book a phone call(!) Told them to delete account/credit card info and got "account suspended" instead.
