Is HN the last refuge of real internet discourse? While some of the replies are very Reddit m-coded, it still feels like real humans. I wonder how long this will last before the agents take over.

Great summary of the industry. I do want to point out that we actually have the lowest price for H100s: 1.89/hr. Coreweave’s pricing requires long term commitment and you’re comparing our on demand PCIe cloud to their ‘reserved’ h100 cloud. Our reserved H100 + InfiniBand cloud is priced as follows and is the lowest in the world:

$1.89 / hour for 100% upfront

$2.04 / hour for 80% upfront

$2.15 / hour for monthly payment

See: https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud/reserved

I know it sounds obvious. But if you want to talk to users, just build a little feedback mechanism to talk with users.

Write 10-30 random prompts: “what do you hate about this page”, “what do you love about this app”, “what do you wish you could do”, etc. show them the prompt and log a free form response. Simple as. We’re talking a few hours of work.

Also, find your most engaged users via your analytics and email them to do a video interview to understand how they use the product. Try to find overlaps between them that you can use to target new customers.

Nice tutorial, we worked with the Razer BIOS team to find the touchpad problem and fix it. And we use the 5.15 kernel to fix a handful of the other hardware issues when running Linux on the Razer hardware.

We can run the battery issue / suggestion by the Razer BIOS team.

The target market for this is people who don't want to have to manage a Linux machine learning environment. If you want to least expensive access to GPU compute, you should design a workstation, purchase all of the parts yourself on newegg or amazon, personally take the risk of a part failing, and fully support yourself. That is probably the least expensive way to get a computer in 2022.

This is definitely targeted to people who place a premium on their own time and effort.

We (Lambda) have all of the different NVIDIA GPUs in stock ---- can you send a message to sales@lambdalabs.com and check in again with your requirements? We're seeing a lot more stock these days as the supply chain crisis of 2021 comes to an end.

Found this on a list of AAA video game titles with source code available. It's really amusing to look through, relatively bare bones C. Very funny comments and last minute changes due to play testing:

    #ifdef PSX_VERSION
     int  keepitopen=0; // MAJOR FRIG X 1,000,000

     // SONY AMERICA DIRECTIVE NO.A23
     // It is written: Everyone, given the chance, will jump off the boat, just
     // before they are about to completed the level, in order to play an extra couple of
     // minutes from their last save game. (They love it).  Add all such people together,
     //  counting each person as a brain cell, and you will have a brain about the size of
     // a Sony play tester.
    
     // Sorry Gav, but this had to be done!
     // Check if the boat has gone thru the door without lara,
     // if it has then keep the door open.
     if (objects[BOAT].loaded && lara_inboat==0 &&
      boatitem->pos.x_pos>24500 && boatitem->pos.x_pos<26500 &&
      boatitem->pos.z_pos>75500 && boatitem->pos.z_pos<83000)
      keepitopen = 1;
    #endif
Seems like it was made by a small group of programmers (at least according to GAME.h)
    #define ANDREWH 0
    #define GAV 1
    #define JASON 2
    #define RICHARD 3
    #define NUM_CODERS 4
Always a pleasure to go through code of a game that you loved playing and get to see how the magic happens. It's way "dirtier" than I expected. That says a lot about how games and (software that ships) are actually made.

I can tell you that manufacturing businesses are difficult to manage, have thousands of moving parts if not millions, those parts are more often than not human.

It's like a choreographed dance with millions of people simultaneously, somebody is bound to trip over their laces.
