I work in the field for a company with 40k staff and over 6 million customers.

We have about 100 dedicated data science professionals and we have 1 LLM we use for our chatbots vs a few hundred ML models running.

LLMs are overhyped and not delivering as much as people claim, most businesses doing LLM will not exist in 2-5 years because Amazon, Google and Microsoft will offer it all cheaper or free.

They are great at generating content but honestly most content is crap because it's AI rejuvenating something it's been trained on. They are our next gen spam for the most part.

Can be ott yeah. I set mine up to understand how it all works and just kept things going.

I've stopped reading this series so many times, only at Part 1 of The Dark Forest. Glad to know it gets better.

No love for kubernetes?

AustralianSimon , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to Selfhosted in What advice can you give to a beginner?

What are you even claiming? Billing is the same ease VM or container.

Cgroups became a thing in 2004 and then Google and Amazon started container offerings in 2008.

And you don't even need docker there are plenty of alternative engines.

AustralianSimon , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in What advice can you give to a beginner?

I'd like to point out this is a hot take.

Enterprise infrastructure has been moving to containers for years because of scale and redundancy. Spinning up new VMs for every app failover is bloat and wasteful if it is able to be put in a container.

To really use them well, like everything in IT, understanding the underlying tech can be essential.

Immich-go is stupid easy.

Just dump all your takeout zips in the same folder as immich-go and run the import. Lmk if you need help.

It ingested 60+ zips with 100gb of photos when I used it.

Unifi out of the box settings.

Honestly, if you want small and cheap get a raspberry pi to play around or rent a VM.

If you care about storage too you can get a Synology NAS (pricy) which is pretty newbie proof and comes out of the box with different and photo sync along with support for VMs or docker.
