marcan mentioned in a few of his livestreams that the design seems very much intentional, plus a few of the tweets by Xeno Kovah who worked on the bootloader: https://x.com/XenoKovah/status/1339914716454526979.
They don't have true competition, what they lose out on is market share with hyperscalers, since OpenAI would have no plans to share inference hardware with any other company right now. Plus, I don't know how does NVIDIA's investment equation pans out long terms given OpenAI will be investing in more purpose built inference stack for the future.
Though did anyone else have issues with Workers in general? Status page indicates no such issues however, our deployments say otherwise. Intermittently we're observing 502s from otherwise perfectly fine outside services.
To be fair though, a lot of publishers also do a one time payment deal with authors as well, after achieving a certain milestone of number of books sold.
Changing the definition of drop-in definitely has me concerned and makes me not take this any seriously than other projects open-sourced by Cloudflare, particularly the ones focused on more critical parts of their systems – e.g. pingora and ecdysis.
I might be looking at it differently, but aren't decisions over a certain provider of service being made by the management. Incident reports don't ever reach there in my experience.
Azure straight up refuses to show me if there's even an incident even if I can literally not access shit.
But last few months has been quite rough for Cloudflare, and a few outages on their Workers platform that didn't quite make the headlines too. Can't wait for Code Orange to get to production.
While neither am I nor the company I work for directly impacted by this outage, I wonder how long can Cloudflare take these hits and keep apologizing for it. Truly appreciate them being transparent about it, but businesses care more about SLAs and uptime than the incident report.
Reading this really makes me wonder how does Chrome actually optimize for the plethora of devices running v8 (under Chrome). Definitely involves tricky decisions to be taken for great performance.
I believe it is to make sure that the product remains compliant with the data guarantees that Workspace provides. You aren't paying for the latest and the greatest features, you're paying for the support and compliance guarantees your business expects.
You can also reply to incoming emails from what I know, you just cannot initiate any email directly to prevent the obvious abuse. I wonder how they plan to mitigate that apart from keeping the pricing sane.
Invalid JSON and other formatting issues is more towards the model behavior I would say since no model guarantees that level of conformance to the schema. I wouldn't necessarily club it with the downtime of the API.
A core research library for MATLAB I used in a course project used to be on BitBucket, though thankfully didn't have to deal with a lot of collaboration there.
Anthropic has by far been the most unreliable provider I've ever seen. Daily incidents, and this one seems to have taken down all their services. Can't even login to the Console.
Using Workers is now what Cloudflare recommends by default, with "Static Assets" to host all the static content for your website. Pages, as I understand, is already built on the Workers platform, so it's all just simplifying the DX for Cloudflare's platform and giving more options to choose what rendering strategy you use for your website.
