E vale lembrar que a infra é da Pop Solutions, uma cooperativa digital, e não data centers bilionários

Vamo largar mão dessa postura de consumidor, a Orgânica é popular e é isso que faz dela tão especial.

Where’s the infra lock-in? The infra is open source and the users’ data is in their own control, not one specific platform provider.

Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come
Data Ownership as a conversation changes when data resides primarily with people-governed institutions rather than corporations.

What would b REALLY interesting would be show the GDP figures for real economy, NET of the primary AI trade (chips, infra, data center derivatives) within reason..give me real historical relative GDP vs.s current. It’s probably close to 2-2.2% in ’21-‘24, and near 0% for 2025 and possibly 1% in ‘26

Oh I was joking 😀. Looking at the report it is a specific drop in data availability for SDG's (Goal 11 & 13) and for data infra (on financial data specifically). Does't look like anything systemic but if it isn't corrected or bounced back next year, I'd be more worried.

I've always hated this narrative of people hating data centers as someone who has worked in the DC infra industry for *years* now. They are important.

primary use of data centers is not chatbots, but financial transactions, utilities and other infra, transportation, any search on any site, internet stores, social networks, messengeres in general, gaming etc. All in all they have very little to do with chatbots or image generation

Hottest Take: Anthropic knows they are cooked and believe that once the bubble pops data centers will revert to being more traditional infra. Bun is a play for their future cloud offering.

if Anthropic's going to blow billions of dollars and destroy the earth we may as well get a fast JS runtime out of it

It is not my first rodeo (2001, dotcom bubble, infra engineer),
but yes, it is going to be painful:

1- Massive destruction of wealth.
2-Many people will get badly hurt by carelessly-deployed "AI", in ALL sectors.

The writing's on the wall, yet everybody keeps happily building data centers.

Given that Meta has supposedly guaranteed returns for even the equity in the vehicle that owns the data center, then it's hard to see how all of it is not a definite liability of Meta. Unless, owl is being somehow disingenuous with their description.

Excerpt from OWL Q3 earnings call >>
Q - Craig Siegenthaler Hey, good morning, Marc, Alan. Hope everyone's doing well. My question is on the digital infra business. So we've seen these large deals recently, like the $27 billion deal with Meta to develop the Hyperion data center. And I'm sorry, I'm losing my voice a little bit here, but I believe the underlying leases have maturities of about 15 to 20 years. So my question is, under what scenarios can Meta terminate or walk away from the lease earlier than 15 years? And if they do that, what compensation would they owe Blue Owl's funds? And how would that impact the IRR for Blue Owl's LPs on that investment? Thank you. A - Marc Lipschultz Yeah. So the leases, first of all, let's step back. The leases are designed to function for 20-plus years. So just to start to level set to your point, there is a -- it is -- and this is part of the skill and art that both Meta and I think we brought to it. They're designed in a very bespoke way to create elements of flexibility for Meta. Of course, as you know, they're actually -- just yesterday, we were talking about how they're actually rapidly accelerating their spend. So I think this is more about having a flexibility, which I give them full credit for, than having anything that's likely to be used. But just to cut through it all, and I don't want to lose the forest for the trees. If there were an early termination, there is a perfectly mathematical make whole where we make -- the debt makes all its money, we make a spectacular equity return under every circumstance. So it is -- really doesn't, we expect it'll end up being a 20-plus year undertaking, but it actually doesn't matter. If it terminated anywhere along where they have the options to do it, there is a value guarantee on the assets. So we make a great return under any one of those conditions.

At the @eurosky.social event, we talked a bit about infra. Turns out you’re the one to "blame" (tongue in cheek) for the single-tenant SQLite approach.

What are the advantages? mainly the clear write path?

What about the number of file descriptors, cross-user data joins and the backup story?

Er is een aantal instanties dat onderzoek doet hiernaar. Dit levert ‘dreigingsbeelden’ en risico-analyses op.
Maar het is nogal wat leeswerk

De kans op hybride oorlog is aanwezig. Rotterdam is target. Kritieke infra is kwetsbaar. Elektriciteit, water, olie, gas, data. Daar kan je wel over nadenken.

Legacy tax in Financial systems is real.

Balraj Adhana showed banks can modernize without risk:
Spring Boot + JobRunr -> 40% infra cost drop, 70% fewer manual reports, zero data loss. Automate EOM reporting & trade submits.

bc we are using more highly networked services and we have expectations of 0 downtime because downtime can literally kill people. the way you achieve that is a secure data center with a secured and redundant power supply with the hardware infra needed to scale the software infra we depend on.

yes! multiple things can be true

god i wish this site had longer posts

but

AI = kind of a bubble
AI = going interesting places but not places you can project profit from
AI = a buzzword that catches "tech/IT/data" in an umbrella
tech/IT/data = often reliant on neglected legacy infra

Sure, I've been through that entire cycle of compute & comms infra resuse a couple times. Most of the reuse gains are quickly (typically a few years) exhausted, forcing another infra investment cycle such as the current data center boom & satellite craze.

"we are going to modernize our data infra with AI" is not a *lie* exactly. if someone says this, they may well deploy LLMs for some part of it (maybe analyzing the actual data, maybe just speeding up migrations by translating old SQL to new SQL or whatever). but also, "AI" isn't just LLMs.

Thanks Paul! I get to pour time into community infra & enablement because of bsky's support of the community conference.

We have some solid notes on private data, shared data collections, & interop from community days that we'll share, including shout outs to all the people that made it happen.

Yeah, pretty much everyone else is letting a *huge* amount of their capital spend getting captured by Nvidia and paying for an enormous data center buildout. Google is cutting out that middleman and paying TSMC directly and amortizing with existing infra. They do seem really well-positioned

To be honest, the media part could make sense on your own infra, to save cost (at a certain scale). But data and analytics is going to be a pain to host effectively.

... not to mention, AWS themselves has UK data centers!

Using US infra means data subject to US regulations + government access.

Kind of problematic for something like tax record, PII etc
