Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable
Are you not aware that 99 times out of 100 if you see a tech company rapidly growing it's completely unprofitable and not even attempting to be profitable yet? It's called blitzscaling and is pretty clearly what openai is attempting. Like if you see a tech company quickly growing you should be assuming it's unprofitable until proven otherwise not the opposite lol.
Yeah this article makes no sense, really seems like puff piece slapped together in 15 min from a PR email he sent them. Retired 36 year old multi millionaire shows people they too can solve math puzzles for the low price of 2 mill?
using only publicly available unused cloud storage space ... "I was able to do it just by using big tech’s leftovers."
So he ostensibly used donated storage? Is computing primes even storage intensive? What about the compute? Is that where the 2 million went?
Plus what would "publicly available unused space" even be? Cloud providers don't just give stuff away to random people because they aren't using it
He used servers in 17 countries across 24 data centers and on two cloud providers to find the number,
So he was just running this on 2 big cloud services. Did the author just misunderstand him getting some credits from the providers? Did they run his workload as a low priority thing when they were over provisioned, is that what they mean by "leftovers"? Who knows.
he and his programmer father were writing a prime number computer code.
3,00o[sic] to 5,000 volunteers
Come on WashPo doesn't have editors anymore?
Durant said he also spent the time and money on finding a prime number to show that GPUs can be used for more than AI
What a banal statement. Seems like it's just a way to shoehorn in a way to bring up AI in the article.
Why would they sub cocaine for ecstasy? I don't buy it. There's hardly even any ecstasy in most random ecstasy pills anymore, super stepped on drug
Love how confused it gets with drawing parking spots
Can't believe investors weren't screaming "What is happening right now?!" and "He just did that!" 
And set up your torrent client to only connect through the VPN! Prevent user error
- You use something as a baseline if you think they're comparable. The cost of running a picture platform and a video platform are very different and would not justify a comparable split, much less a less favorable split. The split is unjustified by underlying platform costs and therefore greedy.
your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd
- What are you even trying to say? It's odd to write a single comment saying that a YouTuber has an app with a poor revenue split? You're a clown
Absolutely hilarious to compare the cost of hosting any video from anyone to a small selection of presumably handpicked pngs. Video is astronomically more expensive before even getting into the fact the successful videos subsidize the cost of hosting the petabytes of unsuccessful ones.
And then he takes even more!
I do love adding emojis in comments. Programmers can have a little unicode as a treat
Can't believe Nazism keeps ending up in Canada's wholesome anti-communism
What did they get rained on or something?
Driving a sedan at night is agony in the age of SUVs and trucks with LED headlights
Potentially. It'll all depend on the permissions in the host (they're inherited iirc) and the user you're running your docker container as. I think if I remember correctly I made them 775 and all of the video stack related programs shared a group
Take a look at the docker-compose example in your link
volumes:
- /media/<your folder on host machine>:/<location you want to mount to inside docker container>
Is Firefox installed as a snap package on PopOS? That could be it if that's your only snap package. I'd recommend installing a Firefox fork that's a regular deb package (Libre Wolf probably?) and seeing if that changes anything
Lmao isn't Mint based on Ubuntu also? If you're going to suggest switching distros entirely for slow loading on a single app might as well choose one that's not derivative
If you have Android there's also a thin client you can use to connect. Decent UI and it supports magnet links
I was thinking it was added afterwards. Look at the attempt at text for the name badges

Fair enough I had been considering deleting/rewriting my comment for a similar reason. Point still stands if you replace CS for SWE
