Most of the demand for data center GPUs comes from the big tech companies themselves, to develop products/services.

Facebook and Twitter are both now signaling that the resources they funded with vast amounts of capital would be worth more to shareholders if they were leased to the highest bidder.

This is either a realization that their internally developed product/service roadmap is not panning out, or that the lease demand is so high that they’d be fools not to take advantage.

You got inflation under control? Must be nice…

Cool. So they’ll build and operate gas turbines (or probably contract operations to do so) and then drive demand on the natgas, as well as over burden the gas delivery networks.

There goes cheap and pain-free visas. Foreign countries will reciprocate.

This is my experience as well.

I’d add that Excel didn’t kill the engineering field. It made them more effective and maybe companies will need less of them. But it also means more startups and smaller shops can make use of an engineer. The change is hard and an equilibrium will be reached.

I think many people don’t need to worry performance of reference type allocations vs value type.

I don’t mean to assume you do or do not need to worry about that consideration. But 99% of the code I’ve written does not need to be concerned about it.

Could you elaborate? I don’t see anything about improving the performance of enumerator. Zlinq appears to remove the penalty of allocating enumerators on the heap to be garbage collected. The link you sent mention improvements, but I don’t see how they lead to linq avoiding heap allocations.

Very well explained to a lay person.

Are PINNs the current state of the art in ML methods for solving PDEs? What are their limitations?

This is my understanding as well. And the logistics of doing this can be simplified by re-using oil and gas facilities. Regardless of your feelings and levels of skepticism about oil and gas, this seems like the most straight-forward and low-energy path forward to me.

In my experience units of measure in technical apps is only interesting in the UI layer as most apps I’ve worked on have a “base” system of units that all calcs are expecting. What alternate experience have you seen?

I have to admit that, as a hack, the amount of planning, technical integration, and apparently flawless execution must have required an awesome amount of effort by very intelligent people.

As a human being though, this is revolting. A new avenue of mass destruction. I sure hope I am never around someone a Mossad-like organization wants to kill.

Came here to say this! I found most of my favorite songs and bands in that time frame listening to Indie Pop Rocks

I don’t buy it. I think his strong suit is fostering innovation. It turns out that the logistics challenges of maintaining complex systems over long periods of time is a different strength that Stripe and Twitter seem not to Meet Expectations
