Edit to add: the 1040 GPUs are orders that are below the current market price.

Thanks Jonathan! Awesome to hear that you're excited about the auction.
Great questions on the auction system dashboard. The left gray box indicates how many GPUs are available for on-demand access. So in your specific example, 688/1464 GPUs means that 688 GPUs (out of a total available pool of 1464 H100s) are ready to be rented. Finally, the 1040 GPUs and 8 GPUs all indicate GPUs that are currently being allocated to customers.

Thanks for your comment! Re: your points:
1) That's sort of a tangential point. Maybe I wasn't clear in my original statement. But meetings that start immediately without any sort of ease-in, even if they are started on time (to your point), often feel really transactional. We're all working with other humans, not other robots! Remote work creates much less opportunity to connect with each other. Virtual meetings are one of the few times we do see our team face-to-face. And we should realize that socializing a bit can be just as productive as talking about actual "business". Icebreakers (even if the term sounds "cringe") are really helpful in that regard.
2) Agreed, your coworkers don't necessarily need to be your friends. At the same time, they also shouldn't be reduced to robots or black boxes that you interact with only when you need something from them. They're humans! As social creatures, we tend to work better with people when we trust them. Often, that trust is built on liking and/or respecting the other person. That's where icebreakers can be really important too.

Lolol!!! Happy to send this to that guy if you somehow provide us his contact information :) I'm on Twitter here if you wanna DM me: https://www.twitter.com/melissadooo.
And yes, absolutely. Webcams - and actually cameras in general - REALLY struggle with back-lighting. Having a key light pointed at a wall so it's more diffuse and so it can cast a softer glow onto your face is ideal.
Videographers learn about 3-point lighting for ideal lighting situations in film school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_lighting.

Thanks swyx, we're glad you enjoyed the site!
It's a standalone site because we wanted people to be able to easily share it with their teammates right before important video calls.
A few people have given us really helpful feedback about more information to include (e.g. setups for different types of remote workers). But we haven't decided how we'd like to build on it further yet. If we did, what would you like to see from the site? / what would be most helpful to you?
