How large is Snowflake's AI revenue? Management lowered product gross margin guidance from 76% → 74% due to "fast-growing AI workloads." If GPU inference runs at ~25%–35% gross margins, that 200 bps compression implies ~$60M–$75M/quarter (~$240M–$300M ARR) in direct AI token consumption.
especially with AI now I'd say anyone can try, and non-technical people with the best ideas, creativity/taste and understanding of whatever cultural zeitgeist we're in can win
But, at least this sort of sharding across multiple machines is maybe become less of a pressing issue just because more and more workloads can just run on a single machine. Some people still have very large-scale workloads that do have to be sharded across multiple machines. So, it's not going away entirely.
Despite her McPersnickety ways, I had to admit that the wooden bath mat was magical. It dried within minutes and felt a lot less gross on my feet than a glorified carpet collecting everybody's foot germs.
It significantly lowered the bar to production. It is how we got the whole
society to run on software. If you make it harder for hobbyists maintainers, you
are going to crash society.
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
