Is your code safe on hetzner though? I wanted to do something similar but I'm hesitant about what hetzner employees can see on the machines so I don't know how private and safe it would be to store code there.
We are so used to these numbers being thrown around in the AI era that something one needs a reminder that this is 13 billion, not million. Insane exit by HF.
Was looking for this comment, the tech world has gotten completely insane with ”valuations”. I would love to hear why it was 13 and not 5. It would still be completely insane at 5 billion, but someone though they should add another 8…
Opportunity cost for Nvidia to prevent HF from going public or being sold to someone else. It's an insight into Nvidia's market prediction and what HF told them they'd do if left alone.
Your code will used for training and the platform enshitification has been accelerated by Microsoft. It would be wise to move to another platform or even better, host your own Gitlab/Forgejo/Gitea on a vps or at home.
You cannot wear out an SSD through AI inference alone. LLM weights are only read from the SSD, and read operations do not contribute to SSD wear. SSD wear is primarily caused by write and erase operations.
> Have you been trashing the non-replaceabe SSD with constant AI workloads?
Your other point is valid, but you're either vastly underestimating how many reads/writes a modern SSD can take or vastly overestimating how much output a typical LLM is capable of.
Humans do die eventually though, which is an even more severe form of obsolescense. I don't think they'll be AGI either, but that argument doesn't seem super compelling.
On the other hand you have the old saying "science advances one funeral at a time", indicating death solves at least as many problems as it causes.
(the point being that old, powerful professors have more than once blocked progress in their fields for decades. And only a funeral, eventually, solves the problem ...)
