The comparison is with Snowflake and Databricks, which takes a button or a query (https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-wareh...) to deploy new clusters. No disk, network, or permission setup is needed for each cluster.

I have rarely seen data people familiar with K8s as they mostly use managed services, but feel free to prove me wrong!

I bought a System76 desktop a couple of years ago with an rtx 3090 for some AI work and have been super happy with it.

It was a bit expensive, but everything "just works", it's super well built, and I've had no issues for 2 years. They definitely know what they're doing

(not affiliated, I just like it)

Their support is really good to. I've never had customer support help me sort out linux kernel issues before.

We get all developers at our company System 76 linux laptops as their primary dev machine (Lemur Pros with 40 GB of ram)

This "unlimited monitor space" is a complete non-selling point for me.

Being a wealthy software engineer, my monitor space is not bottlenecked by my budget or desk space, but by my literal neck. Constantly rotating my head back and forth from one monitor to another is, quite literally, a pain.

For me the sweet spot is a single curved monitor right in front of me. If I need more "desktop space" I add another Space with Mission Control. And with keyboard shortcuts I can move between Spaces nearly as fast as I can rotate my head around.

So what am I going to do with a VR headset if I ever got one? Put the active app straight in front of me just like I do with my normal monitor. I'm not going to put my terminal at some odd angle 25° above my head and crane my head back when I want to run a command in it. I won't put the Weather app 90° to my right, obscuring what is currently a nice picture window looking out on my yard.

For me, VR needs that "killer app" to justify the high pricing and inconvenience of use, and I just don't see one yet. I don't expect one any time soon either; if VR was going to get a killer app, it would have shown up by now.

What if the mapping between your neck angle and screen angle wasn’t 1-1?

This won’t help if your model won’t fit on a single gpu right? So I’m this example your model has to be under 16gb if you memory?

Why doesn’t this happen with GitHub? GitHub also has very good domain authority.
