    Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) reported

    I spent over $120 in @awscloud so far this month. Most of it has been on GPU instances and Xeon 6. This is the most I've spent since I've had a long-running VM as a web app server a few years ago.

    Ümit Kaan Usta (@umitkaanusta) reported

    @AWSSupport I keep getting errors across the AWS Console where components or resource lists fail to load, showing messages like “An error occurred calling the API: describeAddresses.” Reloading sometimes fixes it temporarily. can you help? It's mostly on EC2 related stuff. us-east-1

    Peter DeSantis talking at #agenticaisummit There will NOT be one AI chip type. If multiple AI chips take multiple years to bring to market, you have to be making assumptions about model requirements in that time frame. It's a systems problem, including the network. Constraint drives innovation. Future is bright and built together. Peter DeSantis SVP, Foundational AI Models, Custom Silicon, Quantum Computing, Amazon @awscloud @amazon @BerkeleyRDI #AI

    I am (unfortunately) dealing with @googlecloud and @awscloud and what I am noticing is that in months they are unable so solve any kind of problem, it’s like being bounced back by ai replies that are sold like assistance from humans, saying that they are “working on that” but nothing changes in months and also replies are all the same.. idk if they are experiencing a shortage in human labor or what’s going on but the experience has become worse than ever

    @AWSSupport @kirodotdev @awscloud I’ve already raised a case explaining the entire issue. Case ID: 178664512400070. Unfortunately, I still haven’t received any genuine help, which is really disappointing. I’m not the only one facing this issue-many others are experiencing the same problem. Please look into this.

    @cgeorgiaw @AnthropicAI @awscloud ooh, I've actually been working on an autoresearch space for a different problem (math) using Kimi k3 + inference providers, I could try forking and seeing if I can reshape the structure around this with this data + build it fully in the open!

    You built your WordPress site over months (or years). One bad plugin/theme update can wipe it all out overnight. 😱 Plugin conflicts. Malware. A botched migration. A hacked server. The disasters that take down WordPress sites usually happen without warning. And here's the mistake most site owners make: they think their hosting provider's backup is enough. It's NOT. If the server fails, you lose both your site and the backup. We share the complete step-by-step guide for backing up your WordPress site the right way. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Use a Backup Plugin (Best for Most People): @DuplicatorWP is what we use across our sites. Full-site backups, disaster recovery links, and restore without having the plugin pre-installed. Free version available, Pro has scheduled backups. ✅ Use Your Hosting Provider's Backup: SiteGround (where WPBeginner is hosted) includes manual and automated daily backups on all plans. Bluehost partners with CodeGuard and Jetpack for their built-in options. ✅ Manual Backup With cPanel or FTP: Use cPanel's Backup Wizard for a full backup, or connect via FileZilla FTP to download your wp-content, themes, plugins, and wp-config.php files directly. ✅ Send Backups to Cloud Storage: Duplicator and UpdraftPlus both connect natively to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Amazon S3. Never store backups on the same server as your website. If your host fails, both are gone. ✅ Set Up Automatic Scheduled Backups: Configure hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly backups in Duplicator based on how often you publish. eCommerce stores and busy blogs need daily. Slower-moving sites can get away with weekly. Ready to protect years of hard work with a proper WordPress backup system? Read the full ultimate step-by-step guide 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

    @DRiceHockey @WNBA @awscloud Same applies to all their stats. Their PRA is gonna go down too. That's the nature of injuries. Makes it harder for the individual, but does not increase the difficulty of the actual shot itself.

    The downfall of Storj Labs (bankruptcy): - launches Storj in 2014 to build a decentralised alternative to cloud storage - promises a blockchain based competitor to Amazon S3. - attracts thousands of node operators across the world - raises around $35 million in funding - secures roughly $30 million through its 2017 token sale - spends years building its decentralised storage network - the DePIN business model proves difficult to scale profitably 2021: - $STORJ reaches its all time high 2022–2025: - the token enters a prolonged decline - node operators report declining rewards and operational issues - Storj begins selling non-core assets and right sizing operations October 2025: - Inveniam Capital Partners acquires Storj Labs - the acquisition is expected to strengthen the company's future - financial pressures remain unresolved July 2026: - Storj Labs files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection - the company says legacy liabilities can no longer be outgrown - assets and liabilities are estimated between $1 million and $10 million > operations > customer services > the storage network continue running - Inveniam backs the restructuring process - Storj proposes a plan that could give STORJ token holders equity in the reorganised company - $STORJ falls another 14–15% after the bankruptcy announcement - the token is down roughly 99% from its 2021 all time high

    The Missing Primitive for Autonomous AI: Bounded Agent Payments 💳🤖 For the past two years, autonomous agent loops (like @OpenClaw, Hermes, or custom agent harnesses) have been missing a critical infrastructure piece: the ability to transact on demand without a human in the loop. When an agent hits a paywalled research endpoint, a paid search API, or an MCP server mid-execution, the entire loop freezes. Up until now, your options were: 1. Hardcode expensive subscription API keys upfront. 2. Freeze execution and wait for a human to manually pay. @awscloud and the OpenClaw Foundation just published a blueprint solving this via Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments and the ⁠#x402⁠ protocol. Here is how it works, why it matters, and the primary architecture use cases:

    @AWSSupport Five months of broken links & blocked support channels is unacceptable. You have more cut off core business services because you have refused to provide a person with disabilities a way to tell you that you are over billing me. Escalate to a senior rep to fix this before 9am cst

    @awscloud I signed up w/ new account to get @AWS_Gov. Got usual error. Created ticket. At about 3pm. Just got my phone call. At 11:30. AT NIGHT! To then get a message while on hold that there was an error, that a tech was assigned to case & would call me back. C'mon!

  • iproductAI
    Priyanshu (@iproductAI) reported

    Here’s the cleaned-up version with fixed grammar, same hard tone, and no em dashes: I requested @awscloud to increase my Opus 4.6 V1 limit and I’ve been chatting with the AWS support team for almost 4-5 days now. They’re telling me this. Is @awscloud a government company? I mean, you guys can’t just pass the problem from one department to another. I mean, WTF? Now I have to raise my query again to sales? Why can’t you just pass this query? You already have more context about what the issue is. I can’t believe how these big MNCs are working these days. Totally absurd service from @awscloud. One more thing, please educate your support. I mean, she didn’t even know what the TPD limit is in the service quota. She literally replied the first time saying there’s only a TPM limit and no separate TPD limit.

    @QuinnyPig @awscloud Are they gonna fix that IAM identity center stored passkeys on a domain that is shared between aws orgs and accounts so I keep locking myself out of orgs when updating one?

    Joy | 🔥 (@JoyKingdomx) reported

    As we all know, cloud outages are not a new topic here. But what is changed is how many products now depend on the same infrastructure. A few years ago, an AWS outage mostly affected AWS customers. Where today one infrastructure issue can ripple across AI apps, APIs, developer tools, streaming platforms and payment services. That is the downside of concentration. We have seen @awscloud outages impact millions. We have also seen @OpenAI outages pause production apps because entire inference pipelines depended on a single provider. It is not the outage that matters - it is the dependency behind it. That is the reason why decentralized compute makes sense. Instead of relying on a single cloud or region, @ionet distributes compute across a global network of GPUs in 138+ countries. No infrastructure is immune to failure, the goal is to ensure one failure does not become everyone's failure.
