  • It seems to me like this approach to custom-built ML hardware which can only be leased as a service, not bought outright (such as this or Google’s TPUs), is not very promising for research. Sure, this might be a cost-effective way for companies to deploy LLMs and maybe AWS can squeeze out a few interesting papers but since nobody else can do this without paying Amazon obscene amounts of money I don’t see this leading to the next great innovation in the field. It’s at least interesting that Google’s TPUs barely had an impact, I’m curious to see if this will also be true for Amazon.




  • Thank you for the well thought out reply! I understand now that its not the way Lemmy devs envision this particular part of the fediverse to develop. It doesn’t completely agree with what I see in the current federation landscape though: Most communities cluster around shared interest, be they language, nsfw vs non-nsfw or ideology. Following that, there is a clustering effect regarding the communities on each instance: If I find an instance with a community I care about I’m pretty likely to be interested in the other communities on there too. My guess is: A popular app will implement this feature and it will become mandatory for everyone else who wants downloads. But I get the “idiomatic” argument and understand why Jerboa devs are unlikely to want this feature.
