It surely is a bubble - so probably a bit different than many other bubbles.

I think OpenAI made the right call (for them) to commercialize when they did - as that pretty much was their only chance to do so. Things has moved fast over the last 1.5 years - and what used to take a decade in tech has happened within months: OpenAI is the dinosaur company grandfathered in, while for already about a year it's been more sensible for anybody wanting to do something with LLM to selfhost (or buy hosting capacity, but put up own data) one of the more open language models, and possibly adjust or re-train it.

As a company owner I get a ridiculous amount of spam for a year already from all kinds of companies building products on top of OpenAI stack, or are trying to sell training or conferences. All those companies will be left with nothing once all the slower users realize technology has moved on. It's like somebody trying to build all their product offerings based on VMWare stack nowadays.

If you as a company want to offer something around AI right now the safest option is probably offering hosting, or if you want to do more hands on, adjustment of open models. Both of those are very risky, and many will go bust in years to come - but not as suicidal as building on top of a closed dinosaur.

I see you're not working in any industry having to deal with Qualcomm.

He probably needs a comaintainer. We could select one of us and then try pressuring him into accepting that.

Because it does JBOD if the controller supports it. Pretty much none of the controllers you'll find in consumer hardware support that.

JBOD relies on an optional SATA extension, which most of your controllers won't have.

That leaves you with RAID in the controller - which is a bad idea, as you don't have much control over what is going on, and recovery if it fails will possibly messy.

I nowadays typically have three outcomes to similare situations:

  • I find my own question without solution from a while ago
  • I find my own comment or blog entry describing how to fix it
  • I find a friends comment or blog entry on how to fix it

A decade ago pretty much everything was made by TI (including a bunch of Nokia phones, like the N900 or N9) - but they cancelled a lot of their stuff around the time the Elopocalypse hit Nokia.

I still have a bunch of devboards from that time, as well as a TouchBook from AlwaysInnovating - had high hopes for that one, but sadly never made it, but was copied by others.
