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...

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.

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 most economists would agree that consumption should be encouraged and savings should be discouraged. and that'd be how progressive taxes work? people tend to save more and consume less as their incomes increase?

from a pedestrian's point of view. as soon as the self driving car is like safer than the most dangerous bottom 20% of drivers..i want those drivers off the road. and i believe, from google's numbers, we might be there already, if not better.

is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination very different from buying things off ebay? why would salespeople even exist if there was perfect information?

so people want efficient markets and price discovery..but only when it results in them paying lower prices? otherwise the law should step in and preferably set prices by fiat or magic?

ok my personal take on buyng knick knacks in chatuchak is.. assume everything is cheap , thats why i come to thailand, i can afford this...
