@dotnet_pickaxe sure but if you have a tenant scale topping your available hardware then, unless you have a table ref tenant arch then all you have to do is move that tenant to its own larger machine, charge them more and you are good. db as tenant = best. hori scale stateless api layer.
if you haven't seen it yet, shrike labs just came out with a DC based power supply system for home / dev labs. Extremely cool stuff. https://t.co/J9kl398T8E
@nicksortor This is idiotic. We are making advances in neural networks all the time. This is a solution without a problem. The solution will be much better inference and models that use significantly less power.
anyone else's isp getting salty about the amount of 600gb+ downloads and uploads we have to do for large models? i'm at 10tb for the month and climbing.
@BasedTorba That is not true. If you coded you would know that. AI is better than it used to be but will still create a giant mess with anything more than a class.
everyone should have their own local AI setup with multiple models for various things. Dense and thinking models and 400gb+ sizes are best. MOE models with huge training sets are great too. Lastly, don't forget to have vision and listening models.
@elonmusk as a former video game programmer and current neural network architect/programmer, I'm not sure this is going to work the way most think it will. Creativity may be the last deeply human trait and the NN's can only mimic that.
@SQLServer I really love the new SSMS 22, extremely solid and intuitive. I hate the new connection dialog though, who thought that was a good idea? Can you at least make the old one optionally available or fix this one? #ssms
@VisualStudio this new visual studio 2026 is one of the best that has ever come out. A few bugs though that are driving me a bit crazy like installing or uninstalling an extension frequently leads to corruption of the extensions. 'ManagedProjectSystemPackage' and such did not load correctly.
@tsoding I agree. Problem is everyone decided that all apps would be web (nobody still believes that) and just dropped the ball on native development. Winform was and is vastly superior to wpf and all the XAML variants. When windows had default look/feel we could do these things quickly.
@davepl1968 winforms is still the best windows only tech. I wish MS gave it more love. XAML based solutions and wpf are insanely overly complex and try to solve a problem that doesn't exist (designers working alone without engineers).
