@john234 might be interesting to see how much business sense it would make to strip that hardware for gaming components :D

@chrisstoecker the CEO of IBM was interviewed recently. He said they could provide hardware to run open models within a company scope that would be 10% of the cost of OpenAI / Anthropic / etc.
EDIT: Added link.
IBM CEO says open weight models are now irresistibly good and cheap on-prem
90 percent of the performance at ten percent of the price, in just two or three racks, is hard to beat

@chrisstoecker Wäre wirklich spannend, wenn die GamerGater, und alles was daraus gewachsen ist, irgendwann die Schnauze voll von den Broligarchen haben, weil die ihnen ihre Gaming-Rechner wegnehmen. 😏
@chrisstoecker And ssimple users....
BTW: Always a SUPREMELY bad idea to enrage gamers.
@TimWardCam @hzulla It's called 'herding' by NESO and (eg) the 10-minute randomisation in car charging start is intended to blunt this...
@hzulla One does however wonder about the effect of switching domestic scale consumption/generation on the half hour when (in the UK) the electricity price changes. Obvs you want to switch your battery from fully charging to fully discharging exactly on the half hour because that makes you the most money ... but what if everybody does this?
@hzulla In fairness, devs sticking to the minute mark isn't really something you want to fix (because you can't). Instead you have to recognize what causes it and give devs the tools to avoid it by default. Because there's currently not a good way to express "once a minute, regardless of where in the period" on many platforms
@hzulla People also tend to schedule things on the hour/half-hour, or at multiples of five minutes, in part because cron syntax makes that easier.
@hzulla Yeah, lots of people responsible for distributed systems haven’t been taught the ways of thinking about them.
My work team just deployed a scheduled I/O-heavy job (storage snapshots on a non-CoW filesystem) to about a hundred physical servers. The original plan was to push out exactly the same config to all of them. Everybody understood the problem once I pointed it out, but it’s just not something most people consider.
Ok, so this went surprisingly viral. What I learned from the responses so far:
The main "problem" is the synchronised clock and too many developers using the minute mark for task scheduling default settings.
Having mass-deployed systems doing a thing at the exact same time causing trouble has been known to sysadmins for decades. Solutions readily exist for various task schedulers. However, inexperienced developers and maintainers still default to using the minute mark.
Our industry learns and unlearns this phenomenon again and again.
(I personally certainly have experienced this in my line of work, too, but...)
People may be aware of the problem of synchronised tasks on mass-deployed software for their own distributed system, but I'm mostly surprised that the effect is even visible within the global electricity grid.
So while simple solutions exist since forever, it's unclear how our industry can keep this knowledge alive to avoid future generations doing this little mistake all over again and again.
It is such an obvious cause once you think about it, and yet before you hear about this, no software developer or maintainer ever considers the possible effects of e.g. a default Debian cron job setting may have on the global electricity grid.
之前简单听说了福柯《规训与惩罚：监狱的诞生》的主要观点，今天突然想出了一个新名词：规训受体。和我之前发明的「宣传受体」异曲同工，即这些人的观点没啥意义。沦为宣传的复读机，或自动服从规训，连自己的利益都放弃了。
好困。。。。。。写不动了。。。。。。
最近3ds汉化版老游戏数量简直是井喷。。。。。。大概是托ai的福吧。
使用国产ai电动牙刷的第三天。
就是会给你倒计时，然后提醒你哪里没刷到那种牙刷。
呃，感觉比我平时自己刷牙的时间长一倍。
adhd就是这样，连日常活动都需要有人在边上给提醒才能好好做。
美股要不要再补一点。。。。。。
我天今天真的看见良子配美女了。
在路上走着走着迎面走来一个大约得有个400斤的男的吧，一手抽着烟一手把一个身材相貌都还不错的女的搂在腋下，那个女的看起来就像长在他胳膊下边的一个肿瘤。。。。。。
这个体型竟然还能走路吗，真牛逼啊。哥们别抽了我真怕你不小心给自己点着了，可能三天三夜都烧不完。。。。。。
