lex2rosson Can companies like SaaS companies like snowflake competele with cloud vendor?

Basically my question is whether in long run these companies will survive once the cloud start providing similar much cheaper alternatives.

lex2rosson Building ClickHouse Cloud from scratch in a year

One thing is not clear from the post is how multi-tenancy is handled. Suppose Clickhouse has 10K customers and a data plane cluster has 1K only nodes then it can not cater all the customers in a single cluster, right?

This essentially means they must be running multiple dataplane clusters however they might have just a single control plane.

Thoughts?

lex2rosson Am I still relevant as a programmer now that there's AI?

I'm Naive in AI domain.

LLMs are trained on existing contains which are presumably original so far. This means LLM can not think beyond what it has learnt from past resources.

- Would it be safe to assume LLM can not produce new original work?

- I worry internet will be soon will be flood with LLMs generated content which will again feed in to LLMs to train them further. IMO such feedback will hardly help, in fact that may make LLM more rigid in answers.

I know there is parallel effort going to detect machine generated content so that they dont rank on top but its is still in nascent phase.
