Could you build this?
No machine0 is an infrastructure-as-a-service cloud provider managing multi-region physical/virtual hardware (up to 8x H100s), instant snapshotting, per-minute billing, and deterministic NixOS hypervisors. This requires deep bare-metal virtualization, hypervisor kernel hacking, and datacenter infrastructure networking.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires bare-metal server orchestration with custom hypervisors (e.g., Firecracker, QEMU/KVM), Ceph/NVMe-oF network-attached block storage for instant snapshotting/resumption, custom NixOS rootfs image builders, and automated BGP routing for public static IPs across global regions. It demands distributed systems engineers, Linux kernel/networking specialists, and deep capital or hardware hosting vendor agreements.
