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

The list of supercomputers using H100’s continues past #9

Already answered below, but the bulk of the market for H100’s appears to be AI. HPC was historically the largest market for this class of accelerator, but it appears to have shifted to hyper scale cloud computing centers.

HPC’s are used to distribute the computation of differential equations using numerical methods and AI appears to be making inroads here as well. I would be interested in others’ opinion on whether it’s a settled question on whether or not AI will be able to produce equivalent solutions.

From HPC industry experience with Nvidia, my take is that they are the smartest guys in the room. They’re solution architects that help customers implement and optimize CUDA area by far the best SA’s I’ve ever worked with. If that hiring ethos is pervasive they’ll keep winning.

In the last few years they have dropped their recruiting significantly but ExxonMobil recruited Ph.D’s from the best universities for decades. Lots and lots of VERY smart people work there.

There are ML models that solve hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs pretty well right? I’m aware of some interesting full-physics simulations that are modeled to be solved with this class of PDE.

I imagine he lives a very lonely life in most ways that are important. Like a king of old. EVERYONE is an antagonist that wants something from him and his motivations run very self centered.

Grapefruit stops your body from metabolizing statins. This can lead to a toxic buildup of statins. CBDs can also have this side effect.

I’m not a doctor, but it seems like you’d need to have a lot of grapefruit in your system over an extended period of time to make this a problem.

Riiiiiight

Do these results suggest no treatment will be possible?

Where did you roam? What was the best place to be a digital nomad? How sustainable is that lifestyle?

What about population growth? Is the stock market a big Ponzi scheme? Guess who’s holding the bag?

The promise of low code.

I’m sure there is a time and place for it (Power Apps is a billion dollar business), like time keeping frontend logic. Apps with significant logic and complexity will always need developers.

I’m not critical of your app as I have no real understanding of what it does and why the design choices were made. I do not think embedding logic in SQL would be an ideal way for any app I’ve worked on to work.

They are a slow burn, but the ends always justify the means with those novels. If you really did make it 1/2 way, I’d encourage you to go back and finish reserve judgment.
