Why does @awscloud hate C ? Most of the AWS SDKs have supported overriding the endpoint URL via the AWS_ENDPOINT_URL environment variable for about two YEARS now, but still no sign of C support! github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/iβ¦

Congratulations to @Sammy_Sidhu and Eventual on their funding round. I've been giving @daftengine, their distributed data engine, a spin recently - great stuff! Expect a post on the @backblaze blog soon on how to access Apache Iceberg tables stored in #BackblazeB2 from Daft
24 Jun 2025
Today we're announcing that Eventual has raised $30M in Seed and Series A funding from @CRV and @felicis as well as @ycombinator, @M12vc and @Citi and others.
The AI era needs data infrastructure built for AI, not retrofitted.

So the brain worm serial cheater who decapitated a whale & dumped a dead bear is gonna be in charge of our nationβs health and the chick who shot her dog and her goat and lied about meeting with Kim Jong Un is gonna be in charge of our homeland security.

.@Backblaze customer @DecartAI emerged from stealth mode last week, announcing Oasis, their playable, realtime, open-world AI model. I love this quote from their CEO, @DLeitersdorf, in our blog post: "B2 Cloud Storage was literally the only technical thing we used in training these models that didnβt crash the first time we tried it. Weβre in an industry where everything fails, but Backblaze didnβt."
4 Nov 2024
How do you build an AI model 10x more efficient than Sora? Guessing Decart won't tell you all the secrets, but we can tell you how Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage helped. Today, we're sharing how @decartAI used @backblaze to launch their Oasis model.π₯β‘οΈ hubs.ly/Q02WQwRQ0

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala
