This would be more believable if Elon paid his cloud bills.
I saw this on all, and I don’t get the joke. Any programmers care to explain in lay terms?
EC2 are cloud based virtual machines, very easy to spin one up exactly as you need it to run whatever.
But they’re billed hourly and they get very expensive very very fast especially when you leave it on (the hourly billing is for a machine that’s on and running) and have shit tons of resources on it. You can have multiple terabyte RAM machines at the click of a button
Thanka for the detailed explanation!
The other thing they forgot to mention is that getting Amazon to actually tell you what anything will cost, or a breakdown of what your bill is, is like pulling teeth.
Oh good to know, I’m more of a GCP guy myself and it’s billing tool isn’t too shabby IMO lolol
Oh is that why RAM is expensive AF anymore? Post quantum serverless demand for TB of RAMDisk?
What do you mean? You can just download more RAM!
You can rent cloud machines from Amazon, they can get pretty expensive if you forget about them
Ahhh, thanks
u7in-32tb.224xlarge’s get you every time
That’s the name of one of his children, isn’t it?
But my code runs 3% faster on that instance than a t3.small - it’d be inefficient to use anything else.
An entire 3%!!!? My bad, carry on then.
