Rich Peter (@peterli34923561) reported$AAOI --- In late March and early April, $AAOI issued consecutive announcements revealing it had won a massive $71 million new order for 800G single-mode optical transceivers from a top North American internet giant (widely speculated to be Amazon AWS or Microsoft). Critically, management confirmed the first batch of 800G products entered volume shipment in Q1, marking the company's official entry into the world's highest-end AI optical communications supply chain. On April 17, $AAOI announced it will expand its manufacturing footprint to 900,000 square feet in Pearland, Texas via acquisition and leasing of adjacent facilities. Exiting Q1, its 800G transceiver monthly production capacity reached 100,000 units — this expansion is explicitly built to meet exploding order demand from AI customers. On April 29, the State of Texas awarded $AAOI $20.85 million in semiconductor innovation fund grants to support its domestic advanced photonic chip manufacturing in Sugar Land. This not only eases significant R&D and facility buildout capital pressure, but also underscores its strategic position in the U.S. domestic manufacturing ecosystem. 1. The Ultimate AI Compute Bottleneck: The Copper-to-Optical Upgrade (800G / 1.6T) Global data centers are currently undergoing a generational upgrade supercycle, shifting from 400G to 800G and even 1.6T optical transceivers. AAOI is one of the most direct beneficiaries of this hardware refresh cycle. As AI chip compute power from giants like NVIDIA grows exponentially, traditional copper transmission can no longer support the massive, ultra-high-speed data exchange required inside hyperscale data centers. Optical transceivers — devices that convert electrical signals to optical signals — have become the critical throughput bottleneck for AI server clusters. 2. Vertical Integration Breaks Gross Margin Ceilings Unlike many transceiver vendors that only perform final assembly, AAOI has in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities for photonic (laser) chips. Competitive advantage: Amid industry-wide supply shortages, owning upstream chip capacity means no supply bottlenecks. And as scale effects kick in from higher shipments in H2, its previously criticized high fixed costs will be heavily diluted, with Non-GAAP net income expected to swing rapidly to profitability in Q2 and Q3 this year. 3.3. Dual Engine Growth: CATV Broadband + Data Center Beyond AI data centers, AAOI's legacy stronghold — cable broadband networks (HFC/CATV) — is also entering a cyclical recovery. On May 12, the company announced a deep partnership with U.S. broadband giant Mediacom to roll out its full DOCSIS 4.0 network upgrade program. This stable legacy business provides a solid base of recurring, predictable cash flow.

I have other apps installed like #jiohotstar @awscloud they don't ask it repeatedly. It will kill the spirit of the game. Everytime I use mobile OTP

AntDracula (@ant_dracula) reported@leeman24 @GyuMusang56418 @awscloud They don’t need sloppers. They need people with deep knowledge of their products, not slop cannons taking down entire regions. They laid those people off and now it’s an outage every other week, with worse support.

Ross 🛩️ (@airline_king) reportedLikely this **** is staged… But I had @amazon send me a crusty Apple Magic Keyboard that they demanded to get back (wasn’t even the one I ordered with Touch ID) , and made me waste 6+ hours on the phone being angry with customer service (which I am not proud of). The scumbag who took an exacto knife to the seal, replaced it, and sealed it up for return likely got away with it. Days later, they had the audacity to threaten me via email after over the whole experience. That was the day I decided to start winding down Amazon purchases and tel myself to never use @awscloud for anything if that’s how they want to act. Just amazing how they deal with this. Cc @AmazonHelp my memory is deep after that experience.

Aadit Rai (@aaditrai) reportedMike Brown has class and respect for his people, so I will say it. The NBA lacks integrity for the sport. Allowing an environment that allows playing keep away as a fundamental part of a close game is ridiculous. Allowing players to get away with literal physical assault and not calling anything is wrong. Champagnie kicks his feet out after the ball has released from his hands and Jalen Brunson gets a flagrant! That being said I will be doing a full break down on the publically posted highlights tomorrow, Fair Use. @nba @ajassy @awscloud Go Knicks!

akash (@akashtattva) reportedi wonder whether anyone has ever mapped amazon AWS server costs to specific product feature improvements. because this kind of accounting framework being applied to ai spend seems intuitively wrong to me.

It’s Boofing Time (@HereComesJDOG) reported@william_fitz @awscloud is going to hit a wall with this as well. They’re practically forcing AI solutions down customers’ throats, it’s crazy.

Teri Radichel #cybersecurity #pentesting (@TeriRadichel) reportedI’m using @anthropic opus 4.8. With @awscloud Kiro. I have rules in my README that say only use Bash. But it ignored my instructions and said sorry I used Python after using a lot of tokens to do something I didn’t want it to do. I feel like I should get those tokens refunded: this is the kind of thing that unexpectedly wastes money and time and tokens unnecessarily. I can’t make the instructions any clearer. Stuff like that is so annoying. But I’m still writing code way faster. The problem is I got a $20 plan and used it up in a few hours. I tried switching back to 4.6 but seemed like the same results for code written. It’s like everything got more expensive after the new model showed up. Or maybe I really was just making that big of a change. I had to just up the subscription to $40. I’ve already spent a bunch of money on other subscriptions and got incorrectly billed $200 in tokens I couldn’t use this month (working on getting that refunded). So you can do the math. $40 per day x 31 = $1240. But people are using multiple agents. I could spin up an army of agents to write code for me if it didn’t cost so much. Who is going to win this game? As a single developer I’m seeking ways to reduce token usage (or whatever the billing metric is) and mistakes by agents like this one feel so unfair. It clearly was not what I asked for. Whether I fix it or the agent notices its mistake after the fact and fixes it without telling me it’s still going to cost the same. Bottom line is that I can produce a lot but it also costs me a lot and so far I haven’t found a way around that besides writing deterministic code I can then use instead of AI. I have to get the thing built I want to make me money before I spend it all on AI tokens. But right now the agent is making mistakes and getting stuck on things I’m doing that I guess are unique and the agent hasn’t seen too much before. It writes code and can’t figure out what it did wrong, AWS shared networking with VPC endpoints and organizations delegated admins and such I’m getting around that (without giving up full access to my cloud account) by creating verification queries and code but then the agent doesn’t follow the existing file structure and uses the wrong language without at least asking…*sigh* Also it seems like the verification code is burning tokens like a wildfire out of control. Not sure how this is going to work out. I hope there’s not some issue like someone else siphoning off tokens behind the scenes or some other weird problem like the previous nerf issue.
