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.

excited to see this launch!

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.

Obsidian is awesome. No more words needed.

This is fantastic, congrats Jess and Jo on a really impressive product!!

Ooo awesome :) What lens do you use with your EOS R?

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?

make sure your laptop screen is not your main source of light: if someone shows a red slide, you will look red.

Haha, this is such a great point - thanks for noting this!

The other maker of Checklist.video here :)

Yeah, definitely agreed with you that it's difficult if your house isn't wired for ethernet. I actually do let a long cable drift along my floor :P Having a strong upload speed is crucial to letting others be able to hear you without any lag - and that's one of the most important factors to having a great video conference. This is why we wanted to emphasize a wired connection, but we also provided the specific upload/download speeds that could get you the high quality call as well.

Yeah, as we point out in the Checklist.video site, unfortunately only Zoom, Google Meets, and WebEx give you the option to turn off self-view. (Notable lack of this ability in Microsoft teams!)

have you used these apps before? what's the experience like?

hey swyx! a "UVC camera" simply refers to a camera that connects to your device over USB. most "typical webcams" are actually UVC cameras. the ones that are not, are the fancy SLR set-ups that you have to jerry-rig to your computer with multiple connectors and hubs. these are the setups that typically cost at least $1k.

stonogo -- you've hit the nail on the head! we asked ourselves the exact same questions.

There was a really great HN thread about it a few months back, did you see it? link here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25504771&p=3

There's a fantastic Throughline podcast episode on the Phoebus Cartel: https://www.npr.org/2019/03/27/707188193/the-phoebus-cartel.

Starting a reading accountability group has been incredibly helpful for me. Every day we post what we've read as we try to make reading (even the tiniest bit) a daily habit.

Please contact me at melissa@cadencework.com if you are interested.

PS - No agencies, please!

Yeah you're totally right about my mistaken logic. I definitely should've thought through the "how it would work conceptually" part more.

Thanks for recommending Miner! Checking it out right now.

Can you elaborate more on why you say static generation is an essential feature for peace of mind w.r.t. security?

It was because I wanted to host and serve my website via Github Pages rather than go with a managed hosting provider. As my post exemplifies, that was a mistake.

This is a pretty compelling argument for Webflow.

Haha, I feel seen. Thanks for your comment. Wish someone would have warned me away from XAMPP and MAMP before I went to all the trouble!

Do you have any recs for what those better CMS options are?

Haha! I'd love to hear more of your reasons why.

That's essentially what it was before :)

I mostly just wanted a better writing experience and CMS. (I talk about that in a section on the post).

Yes, hence the caveat. :)

For my purposes (set up a simple blog and get it running), I truly don't think that I need, or should, have to learn the ins and outs of the tech stack. In fact I chose WordPress specifically _because_ I wanted it to abstract most of the implementation details away from me.

I don't think this is true for development generally.

I've never heard of Laravel before - checking it out now.

I wanted to use Github Pages because I had my previous site on Github Pages. GH Pages was easy to setup and provided good hosting/serving for free. I wanted the same for my new Wordpress site and naively thought I could make it work.
