the point. of course. is to teach. that nothing is good or bad. consequences.

and i dont know whats the reliability gain from consumer to "server" hardware. 1 x 9? hot plug power supplies? definitely more ram slots i guess...

meanwhile..i see axiomtek industrial computers that dont even have a power button sold with 7yr warranties..

ah my favourite question to my friends who told me they were getting married -> "so a 2yr phone contract feels like a long time to u? how about 20yrs?"

backlit keyboards are an ok idea..

what does that even mean? does it mean iran will stop shooting at ships passing thru the area? because usa has taken it over?

i am not sre, merely sysadmin.

and somehow i have this impression that gpus on slurm/pbs could not be simpler.

u can use a vm for the head node, dont even need the clustering really..if u can accept taking 20min to restore a vm.. and the rest of the hardware are homogeneous - you setup 1 right and the rest are identical.

and its a cluster with a job queue.. 1 node going down is not the end of the world..

ok if u have pcie GPUs sometimes u have to re-seat them and its a pain. otherwise if ur h200 or disks fail u just replace them, under warranty or not...

singaporeans can read that. in singapore. we can access the rsf.org website too.

those votes have every chance of changing everything.

its a first past the post system.

but fact is they always have majority of the popular vote. i dont think it ever declined below 55%. and at best they get 60+%.

there's always a large proportion of singaporeans who want the change. just never enough of them, yet. and maybe there might never be, if most singaporeans are happy with things as they stand.

the modus operandi is to live and work, and maybe raise and educate ur kids in singapore. and go jb kl bkk hcmc jkt or wherever else to play.

and theres no shortage of well educated malaysian chinese running away from bumi policies...

wrt the age demographics...

1.theres a constant supply of malaysian chinese who want to migrate to singapore. they're the best, cos they're culturally similar.

2.failing that,a few taiwanese or china chinese can also be allowed to immigrate. singapore is small, and china is huge. only need a few..

wrt living costs.. if u stick to govt subsidised housing(hdb),(public) transport,(hawker) food and healthcare, u shld be spending less as a % of income than the rest of asean on those things. but singaporeans want more, and leave in droves on trips overseas at every opportunity....

bombardier sold most of their aircraft models though? the regional jets (to airbus, yes?) and the turboprops... and only make business jets now?

even embraer at one point wanted to sell their ejets? boeing backed out of buying or something?

and fokker and dornier are gone for good while the japs terminated their mitsubishi spacejet..

i thought now is the time they start going about cutting prices as AI subtitling reduces their costs..
