No, those $3 are on the high end. If you do not factor in hardware depreciation, at China's low electricity prices (largest variable cost and China has a surplus larger than many country's entire consumption) and with GB200 which is one of DeepSeek's main platforms, the operation cost is actually less than 50 cents per hour most likely. If you factor in hardware depreciation this rises significantly but almost certainly stays under 3 usd per hour, probably closer to 2.

Orinally it was an educated guess based on rental prices I've seen but Opus 5.5 and Gemini 3.8 Flash both arive at the same numbers based on DeepSeek's Zhihu post and GB200 specs. Around 30 cents before depreciation and $2 to 3.50 including it.

At off peak pricing, which is substantially lower than the standard API rate (50% off). So I assume it looks even better financially overall.

Quick numbers:

At $35/hour in net cash generation per card, a $30,000 GPU would pay for itself entirely in about 850 hours (roughly 35 days)

With an assumed ~ $3 operation cost per card and hour

It is, there are lots of European launch companies that will have their first launches in 2027 and all target cheap launch services which is the key to Starlink. Isar Aerospace has already put a payload in orbit, but they are only one of many.

I get that someone wanted to let steam off but this just sounds like they don't have any arguments so they went for the good old "in the future, you won't have free will and social media companies force you to be online" fable. An addicting algorithm isn't the same thing as fentanyl, you can uninstall the app in 5 seconds and getting it back with signing in takes atleast two minutes, enough to reconsider whether you actually want to spend time on it.

The toxicity of apps like Tiktok comes from muscle memory, not the quality of the content. Your thumb knows where the app icon is and opening the app happens quicker than you can think (literally). So offloading or uninstalling breaks this very effectively. The only thing that would still keep you on the platform is social connections. If somebody gets upset over you uninstalling Instagram or Snapchat, they aren't a good friend.

What mess?

Perhaps to some maths is about progress, like other sciences, rather than self-portrayal

This is even crazier than the last time Citizen Lab found an Israeli zero-click spyware (Pegasus). You could call it a sequel

Must be safari then because my midrange android does without issue

And what about Russia occupying a fifth of Georgia? Is Georgia a Jewish controlled country too? I feel like the easier explanation is Russia being the largest country on the planet with a ton of asian minorities because they've done this scorched earth conquest bullshit for centuries

They mentioned Sapling in the post and even hyperlinked it

Have you seen Opus 5.5 code? I don't know any developers who'd even remotely match it at a similar breadth. In fact I haven't found any discipline yet where it did _not_ develop an elegant solution, on top of achieving the goal. Senior human developers might be better in one or two specific niches maybe, but how many projects nowadays are confined like that

That photo is from October 5th so several days after they found the device. They were guessing he might return most likely, and installed a camera. I think at this moment he realized they caught on. Crazy image

It's not open sourced in case you are wondering.

I'm on Pro and it's trying to get me to upgrade to Ultra in the AI Studio UI when using Argon. In Antigravity CLI and the Gemini website it's not showing up at all despite being logged in

> All the texts that mention the Hittites post-date the fall of the empire based out of Ḫattuša by centuries

I don't see how this would invalidate the legitimacy of the documentation. The Hittites were large enough to be visible to contemporary historians and scriptures were used for information preserval. Even if our knowledge was only preserved through written documents, we'd have a good grasp of history 300 years ago, especially of major societies. People weren't primitive back then, they even had state archives with historical records which the Bible mentions in a few places for further reading.

This seems reductive. Character.ai has > 20 million monthly active users, and a lot of company valuation happens on the basis of user count (which is legitimate, that's not vaporware)

> Google spent over $2 billion to hire away much of the company’s talent, including co-founders Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, in 2024.

The Hittites were one of the largest empires in the ancient world, but up until the last two centuries, the only proper documentation of them was in the Bible, which is why many historians suspected that they were a fictional civilization.

In 1834, French archaelogist Texier found the ruins of their capital Hattusa in modern day Turkey. But he assumed it was Pteria, a city mentioned in ancient Greek documents.

It took another ~ 70 years for German archaelogist Winckler to realize that this was the Hittite capital, based on clay tablets.

Because the subscriptions grant you much more usage than what you get in tokens for the same money via the API. That being said, they probably don't have ruinous losses per subscription, if any. Don't forget that many users are casual and do not use Claude Code, so a casual user and a power user level out

They are talking about Meta, AWS, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia and so on.

Although Anthropic supposedly has a good margin on each token, so the inference is substantially less expensive than what they charge customers. Training is eating into that.

That does not sound plausible at all, wipr is an adblocker. No adblocker should be causing this. If it's spoofing your JS fingerprint and Meta uses that for suggesting accounts, wow would that be ridiculous.

The amount of skill it requires is decreasing every month. I would have agreed with GPT 5.3 Codex but Opus 5.5 is more or less foolproof

I'm not convinced, the Nothing Ear spatial audio effect (which is pure postprocessing as far as I understand, since it's independent of codecs and containers) sounds a lot more realistic, and I doubt Nothing has the best algorithm in the field

The emphasis is on the authenticated session on their end, atleast since Musk locked down X access. It's basically a proxy.

The KZ region wasn't intended for Russia's entire workload, that's a secondary region with better Central Asian access.

If what you deduct were correct, Yandex would not be telling its customers to switch to competitora like VK Cloud. They even have a "priority onboarding code" called "CloudBro" for three competitors.

I'd say that's noise, matching IPs to an ASN isn't straightforward.

The HTTP traffic from Yandex is down to ~ 0 % after the third strike, after the first two strikes already degraded it. I wonder how this looks like at the network level because their search page still serves, but presumably their crawler is inactive now

Edit: Here is some more info, they do have availability issues as is to be expected

> Because three of its primary facilities were knocked offline within four days, Yandex’s failover mechanisms broke down[1][8].

> Outages have cascaded across Yandex Go (taxis), Yandex Pay, food delivery, smart home platforms, internal logistics, and third-party corporate services hosted on Yandex Cloud[2][7]. Problems have spilled into neighboring countries using these systems (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Serbia)[2][7].

Edit 2: Here is the Yandex Cloud status page, their GCP/AWS equivalent. The entire compute core is offline, and even worse, Cloud Backup

https://status.yandex.cloud/ru/dashboard

> ru Compute Cloud, ru Kubernetes, ru PostgreSQL, ru ClickHouse, ru MySQL, ru YDB, ru Kafka, ru Application Load Balancer

Interestingly, Yandex tells its users on the status page to switch to competitors Selectel, K2Cloud, and VK Cloud. Which will probably be hit next

Good catch, thanks

This is honestly astonishing. You can see the traffic drop by about 40 % after the first two strikes, and the third one brought it down to ~ 0 %.
