I feel like maybe by the end of this year someone with access to a bunch of RTX Pro 6000s will have them running on a Pi or RK3588 lol.

There are definitely some use cases where it works out, others where it doesn't; I spent a bit of time testing that side of things late last year: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/big-gpus-dont-need-bi...

a great post that definitely inspired this one. i link to it in the first paragraph of my blog post.

This is a funny project. Too many people taking this serious, it is more of a 'can it be done' because the physical interfaces suggest that it should be possible, and then to follow through on it to prove that yes it actually can be done. And tbh much better than I expected it to work. I can imagine that for GPU compute heavy and interconnect bandwidth constrained applications a combination like this might actually be useful. You essentially just added an ethernet port to a 5090, there must be some value in that.

i thought my post was already too long to include this, but to your point, you can run AI inference in this setup and the performance can be pretty good.

> Cyberpunk barely hits 16 FPS average on the Pi 5.

This is a lot better than my memories of forcing a Pentium MMX 200 MHz PC with 32 MB SDRAM and an ATI All-in-Wonder Pro of running games from the early 2000s.

you're lucky you didn't get stuck with an S3 ViRGE.

For one thing, as I understand it, the ACA was pretty effectively sabotaged by removing the mandate, which destroys the math that makes insurance work.

Because pre-existing conditions have to be covered, you're free to wait until you have a serious (expensive) condition, then sign up for an ACA plan. And there's no mandate that spreads that risk around to healthy people, so the population is severely skewed.

I have no definitive data on this, but it seems self-evident that the system can't work well.

this is mostly right, but it's not true that you can just sign up at any time. there's an open enrollment period for the aca marketplace and if you miss it, you won't have the opportunity to buy health insurance until next year.

May also happens to be the month construction began on one of EWR’s two commonly used runways (though they do have a smaller third runway). This severely reduced the amount of traffic the airport could handle and EWR attempted to keep operating the same amount of scheduled flights as usual, it was a real mess.

runway construction is only part of the story, i think. in May, there was a number of complete ATC meltdowns causing ground stops. if you look at the stats, the majority of delays at newark in May are attributed to ATC.

personally, i was on a flight in May from SFO to EWR and my flight flew 2h30m towards Newark, then back to SFO when EWR stopped accepting landings: https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/united-flight-that-was...

granted this was an especially egregious situation and not the norm, but it feels like these types of issues are on the rise based on my anecdotal experience. there were a number of full ground stops at newark due to ATC in the weeks after this. it was national news.

Why cherrypick Newark?

i frequently fly in and out of newark

In May, Newark airport flights were on time 49% of the time: https://www.transtats.bts.gov/ot_delay/OT_DelayCause1.asp?20...

Maybe in aggregate flights have fewer delays but every single flight I’ve taken this year has been delayed (on top of the padded flight times the article mentions). I’ve flown about half a dozen trips.

I also hate the argument that the free market should solve the pricing problem. Airlines have exclusivity on airport gates. Any frequent flier on the SFO -> EWR route knows that if you want to save money you can book an Alaska flight instead of United but Alaska has significantly fewer gates and usually gets delayed when arriving waiting for one. Flights aren’t exactly equal commodities and even if the airlines were well-run, contracts for these gates are locked in.

Pricing stats here also fail to account for business class vs economy pricing. Business class prices on tickets have skyrocketed, way outstripping purported CPI. In some cases prices have doubled or more since COVID.
