Except there has yet to be a breakthrough on anything that isn’t Nvidia, using anything that isn’t cuda/nccl etc

That day is certainly coming, but today is not that day

You can’t buy the gpus individually, and even if you can on a secondary market, you can’t use them without the baseboard, and you can’t use the baseboard without a compatible chassis, and a compatible chassis is full of CPUs, system memory etc. on top of that, you need a fabric. Even if you cheap out and go RoCE over IB it’s still 400gbs hcas, optics and switches

Yea, a node in a cluster costs as much as an American house. Maybe not on its own, but to make it useful for large scale training, even under the new math of deepseek, it costs as much as a house.

Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

This is pretty cool, The UI is a little tough-- deleting code blocks is clunky. its also hard to break out of the type modals there should also be some kind on context aware help dialogue to tell you what operator/type you have active is/does
