latchkey

she makes a lot of wild claims for clicks and gets to the front page with them... sigh.

I like Meg a lot a human, but Meg is all doom and gloom. Every single post she makes is about how GPUs fail [0] and now she's onto how financing is a big thing just waiting to crash and "nobody knows what a used GPU cluster is worth"...

Actually, we do, people offer them to me all the time. A used box of MI300x is $257k. "There is no GPU futures market"... actually there are a few of them that people have pitched to me.

This article is a lot of words from someone who isn't actually buying or deploying compute. My point is... take it all with a grain of salt.

They do make it clear...

It was discovered recently, however we were dealing with asrock and AMD directly given the quantity we bought, and they didn’t say anything. Kind of lame imho.

The U.S. recreational vehicle market is valued at approximately $23.57 billion and accounts for nearly 92% of the North American market.

Seems like an opportunity to me.

Now you're just nitpicking to try to prove some point about calling 911?

It's increasingly a niche product.

I'd argue it is going to go the other way. It is going to find more and more broad usage over time.

Now your bias becomes clear. Should have stated that in the first place.

download and print all the maps you need before you depart

If I'm living and traveling in my campervan for months on end, which is something I love to do, having starlink enables me to not have to plan. I can download the maps, hop out of my van and go. That's my own ideal freedom, I'm not tied to planning the same way you are.

Please just take time off and take a proper vacation. By being constantly on call you will burn out at a much faster rate.

Wow, thanks for the advice. It is wild to me that you've got enough of an ego to say this to someone you don't know.

You would not be in a position to call 911 then, would you.

I never said anything about being alone.

powered by... starlink. https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/satellite-phone-service

i'm in a campervan... i can be off-grid for many weeks and i also have a $dayjob.

starlink enables me to get the best of both worlds, which is a huge reason why i love it so much. don't knock it until you try it. =)

see below. 911 just saved my life. not even counting the amount of pain i was in. i had internal bleeding and ended up need transfusions due to my red blood cell count dropping below 7.

"everyone" seems like a stretch of imagination. i'm not rich, but i'd still pay 2x (the amount mentioned) what i'm paying now.

i can think of 1000 reasons to need to call for help. heck, two months ago i fell on my skateboard and shattered my femur at the hip. it sure was nice to be able to call 911 and have someone come pick me up given that i couldn't drive anywhere. my van was parked right at the skatepark and there was no way i was going to drive. obviously not skating in a national park, but it isn't out of the question to not have a major injury in a remote location.

but it isn't just about harm, as i said "convenience". i like being able to download detailed maps for trail hiking on-demand, and being off-grid and still able to be working (as my job requires me to be online).

it has already gone up in price two times since i got mine. i still happily pay for the convenience and safety of having internet on my campervan in the middle of a national forest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really don't care. A Swami suggested the name and I agreed to it.

we named our dog "santosha", such a great word.

Yea, I'm bummed I didn't know about the 40-CU unlock, although it probably wouldn't have had much impact on mining performance. It still would have been neat to test. I did build a whole automated solution for auto-tuning each individual board. It would start at the "best" settings and then downgrade every time there was a crash. If it wasn't crashing, then those were the new "best" settings for that individual chip.

there is a discord server for fans of bc-250... lots of information there.

ethereum mining, long shut down...

Darn, I was hoping to see bc-250's (aka PS5 chips) in there. They've recently become popular for inference and they are only about $200 on ebay. They hold a special place in my heart because I deployed 20k of them and I'm glad to see they are finding a purpose now and not just e-waste.

couldn't... sorry for bad engrish.

I'm the first user and contributor to Apache Ant outside of Sun Microsystems when James gave it to me, and I could care less that someone else used the same name.

Much later, I got to deploy 20,000 PS5 chips to mine ethereum. When PoS happened, we shut it all down. Now those boards (BC-250) are being sold on ebay for $200 and people are running AI on them.

phishing

Don't forget Digital Ocean Droplets.

there will always be a special place in my heart for a/ux. i ported a lot of open source software to it. ran a bbs, cu-seeme server, gopherd, httpd, and many other early internet services on it. this really gave me an early taste for what the internet would become.

Omen AI just got $31m to solve this problem...
