Whoever gets up to get coffee leaked the story it was decided. So the rest of the wink-wink-elbow jab meeting didn't get anywhere, of course

Correction: We've got our A.I. on you!

Nope. These circles are simpler than that: they will be buying $38B of NVIDIA hardware.

This one is an outside loop I believe. Oracle -> Nvidia -> OpenAI -> AWS -> Nvidia. Not sure how the moey is making it back to Oracle. That's probably part of a differnt circle.

It absolutely never did for "most jobs" other than "unskilled labor". There is a long histor until recently of appreticeship systems and on the job training for anything that's more complicated than menial manual labor.

Not sure what you're on about with your immigrant non-sequiter. Virtue signaling perhaps?

Way to invent wht the OP said out of whole cloth and make it about you. Bravo!

Just so you can better make sense of this: it 1.) wasn't about you 2.) it wasn't infantilizing because it's largely true of most people 3.) again, it wasn't about you 4.) nobody said an "intermediary step" was "required".

Man,you didn't even manage to read the entire first sentence of the post you reponded to let alone the entire post.

The number of college attendees vs. college age population is higher than it ever was, including at the school in question. It is predicted that population decline will overtake this higher rate of college attendance in the next few years.

In light of those two facts, what bar are you talking about exactly?

Please go learn some more before trying this again. Or just keep digging in and looking foolish, whichever works for you.

Because calling the toy Rupert's Noperthedron, would be accurate but might fail to gain market traction.

AWS is a terrible place to work (by design) and has a brain drain problem. The system is now so complicated that the people remaining no lnoger have sufficient intitutional knowledge to reason about it in an effective manner, so issues are being sorted out by rediscovery rather than knowledge. This creates consistent new issues as code is deployed that nobody thought could cause issues in a system they don't truly understand.

I'm not saying a agree with it, but for your very first complain you need to understand: you're doing it wrong. That's not how public cloud is intended to be used. VMs are herd not pets. There should never be a reason to rename a VM. You spin up another and move on.

"But I need it to....." Nope. You're doing it wrong. It's not what that system was designed for and if you want to use it you need to design your workloads to operate within the theory of how it's intended to function. It's really that simple. Things will continue to be hard as long as you continue to attempt to use the wrong tool for the job at hand.

A man of fine taste, and to make this an excellent deal all around, I will toss in 64M of RAM from a bygone era, RetroMan

Not an urban legend when the ability to do so is far from ubiquitous. It is also in their interest to make you think this is all working properly when it's not.
