To be fair, I'm running a selfhosted livekit deployment at work and it's a major pain in the ass.

Obviously proton should selfhost everything but I can understand why they didn't want to.


What’s painful about running LiveKit? What would make running WebRTC server easier?

How will they push it?

Push or pull is just semantics. Can you honestly say that you never ever updated anything in a Linux distro without first reading the source code, checking all the checksums etc? Be honest.

In some places the purchasing decisions are not made by technical people. The infrastructure team gets azure budget and that's what they have to work with.

At my work the sales people regularly come to us with some azure discount they got offered on linkedin or some event. Luckily I have the power to tell them to fuck off.


I've heard it phrased as: Would you rather LLM trained on your comments, or one trained on facebook comments.

Obviously that's a false dichotomy and a pretty defeatist attitude. But it does have a point.


Beautiful thing about percentages...

Yeah, "how much is 10% of your energy bill" would be a much more useful question!

about 10%!

Well, "yearly", "monthly, in the summer", and "monthly, in the winter" could plausibly all be different numbers.

FreeCAD is perfectly good user interface for opencascade. The problem is that as your geometry gets more complicated you start running into the kernel limitations.

Indeed. I would love for it to be true, but aside from opencascade^1 all the professional kernels are proprietary and not in the training set, so LLMs can't just regurgitate them.

^1: Which I really appreciate, but let's be real, it is far behind eg. parasolid.


This is both good and bad. Good ASR can often understand low quality / garbled speech that I could not figure out, but it also "over corrects" sometimes and replaces correct but low prior words with incorrect but much more common ones.

With OCR the risk is you get another xerox[1] incident where all your data looks plausible but is incorrect. Hope you kept the originals!

(This is why for my personal doc scans, I use OCR only for full text search, but retain the original raw scans forever)

Stock barely moved after this news. Would be surprised if it isn't below 100 by H2.

If you are not yet in Oracle's clutches you have to be extremely naive or shortsighted to be using Oracle cloud. Obviously the low prices are because they have a shit product and shit reputation, and the moment they think they captured large enough audience they are going to hike them

Yup. They're not offering those prices out of generosity. They're offering them because that's the most they can charge big players who understand what it means to buy from Oracle.
