  •   “ Underjord is an artisanal consultancy …”
    
    If they don’t weave Erlang threads by hand I’m going to be mildly disappointed.

  • So this is something like a 5000 USD machine (https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/ampereone-cores-are-n...) And is designed as a cloud provider or telco edge machine (hence the erlang consultancy)

    But if you are looking at a hosted erlang VM for a capex of one dollar then these folks are onto something

    Cores really are the only way to escape the broken moores law - and this does look like a real step in the important direction. Less LLMs more tiny cores

  • "5000 Erlangs" - oh, they meant 5000 instances of some Erlang interpreter. Not Erlang as a unit of measure.[1] One voice call for one hour is one Erlang.

  • I would be much more interesting in seeing 5000 under heavy load.

    Just being able to star that many instances is not that exciting until we know what they can do.
