Gemini seems to have a lot as well (at least through Antigravity.Google -> constant errors, not enough capacity, super slow replies until it times out, etc)
If I read it right, the 4B ballpark figure is based on total annual per employee cost of 500k * 8000 employees, so the figure is actually 4B/year. 20B over five years.
I've been a paying customer since 04/2022, and have the early adopter badge. I was easily doing 600-800 searches/month, and now I do 400-300 searches. I think that's the reality. More and more people are asking ChatGPT or whatever for search.
Those domains have been around since forever (also https://orionfeedback.org). I guess it was easier to just set up a new platform instead of integrating it, or building something from scratch.
I haven't checked in a while, but I'm sure there's been conversations about this on discord as well (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/support-and-community/discord-ser...). I'm too busy to read up on every little thing, so I'm glad this happens elsewhere, off-site, and I just get the big changes through my RSS feed.
IME strato is OK for cheap VPSes as long as you don’t have high expectations.
5-6 years ago, I remember trying to scale up to the 16/32GB tier was miserable and oversubscribed; moving to Hetzner at the same price point brought a huge performance boost (mostly on CPU and disk access speed).
Because you'd have a ton of downtime and they'd rather hide it if they could. :)
I used to work at a very big cloud service provider, and as the initial comment mentioned, we'd get a ton of escalations/alerts in a day, but the majority didn't necessarily warrant a status page update (only affecting X% of users, or not 'major' enough, or not having any visible public impact).
I don't really agree with that, but that was how it was. A manger would decide whether or not to update the status page, the wording was reviewed before being posted, etc. All that takes a lot of time.
