After discovering Caddy, I don't use Nginx any longer. Just a much better development experience.

An H100 is a $20k USD card and has 80GB of vRAM. Imagine a 2U rack server with $100k of these cards in it. Now imagine an entire rack of these things, plus all the other components (CPUs, RAM, passive cooling or water cooling) and you're talking $1 million per rack, not including the costs to run them or the engineers needed to maintain them. Even the "cheaper"

I don't think people realize the size of these compute units.

When the AI bubble pops is when you're likely to be able to realistically run good local models. I imagine some of these $100k servers going for $3k on eBay in 10 years, and a lot of electricians being asked to install new 240v connectors in makeshift server rooms or garages.

An RTX 6000 Pro (NVIDIA Blackwell GPU) has 96GB of VRAM and can be had for around $7700 currently (at least, the lowest price I've found.) It plugs into standard PC motherboard PCIe slots. The Max Q edition has slightly less performance but a max TDP of only 300W.

All evidence to date forces the conclusion that trusting Google for anything important is tremendously foolish. That includes email, cloud-hosting, search, google apps of any kind, etc.

Suggest? The only surprise would be dictators actually telling the truth, at any time.

Cool idea but badly broken from a little testing.

It wasn't being "smeared for political reasons"; people were actively taking Ivermectin in preference to vaccines and therapeutics we knew worked on COVID. Whatever else Ivermectin might do, it was not a meaningful therapeutic for COVID.

They haven't started conscription yet. Everyone is a contract soldier or mercenary for hire.
RagnarD · a month ago
BS. There's massive conscription in Russia.
