didn't even realize that, have to double check and saw the "read full story" banner

So it only solves a tail problem. I would assume the percentage of subscribers with poor internet is low.

Why would you assume that?

It also helps Netflix. Lower bitrate means less server load and lower internet bills.

Surely there is a lot of workload is delay-able, but there is equal, if not more, amount of workload that do not have the luxury of waiting. Is it fair to say the serverless platform has no advantage for the latter workload?

Yeah, you can't do synchronous stuff on it, like you would say lambda, or what ever google calls theirs. I think calling it serverless is probably confusing to a lot of the outside world, as to them serverless is cgi-bin for the docker generation.

this form of serverless is very much batch jobs with some modern bits sprinkled in.

perhaps they should have called it serverless batch, or Batch-as-a-service, async-serverless or serverless-futures.

I can understand the downvotes, but at the same time it does makes sense, especially given the target is a logician.

If I read the article correctly, Gödel's rationale is pretty much "The world is orderly organized, therefore after life is supposed to exist"?

I must have read it wrong, because I couldn't see the causality at all.

As someone working in tech and following along the progression of AI, I believe I have the right expectation. But still feels surreal seeing myself speaking a foreign language in my own speech style.

This is the most logical explanation I have seen so far. Makes me wonder why Dustin Moskovitz himself wasn't on the board of OpenAI in the first place.

Thank you! I have always thought Sam reminds me some actor, but was never able to make the connection.

Especially the opening scene with flying cars in the back.

The blog post speaks quality, but what's truly great is that the author knows when/why to stop the adventure.
