Are the Q* models open source with open data? Asking because other than the known tianamen limitation, prompting these models for any advice about acts against authority in a corporate setting yields strong recommendations of compliance. Haven’t explored this deeply, but it was enough of a red flag to limit use to coding/logic tasks.

Skypilot is worth a mention here:

https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot

Open source CLI to deploy multiple gpu vm’s on all major cloud providers, with an option to use spot pricing with 1 cheap vm used as a controller to always make sure you have the most inexpensive deployment available with failover and load balancing.

It’s like beating the cloud providers at their own game I wouldn’t be surprised if they banned it.

Tell your friend to call his parents more - Most parental ‘tech issues’ escalate as an excuse to see and talk to their children more, rather than the flash attention they usually need to settle for.

This is very well done and greatly exceeded my expectations. Also brought a smile to my face on this dreary day. Bravo!

“Is a relational database even appropriate for gridded weather data? No idea but we’ll find out.”

Love this. It’s the exact opposite of all the other ‘well actually’ mainstream tech posts and I am here for all of it. Props for keeping the reader fully engaged on the journey.

It should be noted that while the HP Prodesk was released in 2020, the CPU’s Skylake architecture was designed in 2014. Architecture is a significant factor in this style of engineering gymnastics to squeeze the most out of silicon.

Your experience is very relatable. My first Proxmox adventure began with installing Proxmox 8 on 2 hetzner boxes: one with CPU, one with GPU. Spent two straight weekends on the CPU box and just when I was about to give up on proxmox completely I had a good night’s sleep and things finally ‘clicked’. Now I’m drinking the proxmox koolaid 100% and making it my go-to OS.

For the GPU box I completely abandoned the install after attempting to do the gymnastics around GPU passthrough. I like Proxmox but I’m not a masochist - Looking forward to the day when that just works.

I am so looking forward to this. You are 100% correct about the SObject model. Get that right and everything will fall into place.

I wouldn’t get too distracted by reporting - SF classic had the absolute worst reporting engine for decades and they still sold millions of licenses all for the ability to click-to-configure. Pure sales teams use listviews more as a ‘who do I call today?’ list based on rankings and last interaction dates. Serious CRM enterprises have their own report infrastructure and don’t use the built in.

Congrats on the launch! couldn’t login to the demo on mobile but will try from a desktop. All the best.

Paddling a ball into a destructive path toward obliterating other people’s demand for my time is just the rando reminder of priorities in life I needed this week. Thank you!
