To both host 130+ TB of data, and push 1 petabyte of traffic per month on any cloud provider would be, quite frankly, impossible.

Uhhh I’m sorry but catbox isn’t some special case here. Cloud providers are literally built to do this. Netflix literally hosted off of AWS for years. Also using cloudflare or another provider to reduce your needed bandwidth would make the costs sooooo much cheaper. And it probably would have stopped patreon from deleting them off of the platform since CF has CSAM detection and quarantining.

There’s plenty to be said about hosting things yourself, both good and bad, but in this case routing through CF really would have stopped a lot of this and reduced costs massively.

They removed their lidar sensors after the prices had already come down.

He adds that the space issue would be compounded by Uber and Instacart drivers, who need somewhere to park while they pick up orders for customers.

Maybe with the bus lanes your new traffic from getting bus loads of people to your doorstep will mean that people don’t need to get food delivery as much.

Veritasium, the dude that made up science experiments to prove his sponsors are worth buying from.

There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?

They gave it a link to the paper, not the text of the paper. So it probably couldn’t actually access the URL and just pulled from its training.

Kinda yes, but in actuality no. Unless we get rid of the nickel as well, the treasury is required by law to replace the pennies removed from circulation with nickels. Nickels cost even more to mint, as a percentage of their value, than pennies, so it’s actually going to cost the taxpayers even more money.

But yes we no longer have to deal with pennies. Turns out we should actually get rid of dimes and quarters too, but that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.

Programming.dev does this and is the tenth largest instance.

Huh? In what way.
