    No. First off, it’s a HW/SW solution and things like CUDA/NCCL/etc make a HUGE difference. Second, the token/watt ratio of every other option is nearly an order of magnitude differ…

    THIS. As much as I wish I put all my money into NVDA when I bought it, I’m happy to have a lot of diversity in high tech IT. The daily swings are not nearly as bad and aim not biti…

    Rolls eyes. Oracle is such a monstrosity of a company, it constantly shoots itself in the foot and makes bad decisions because of their enterprise-licensing-DNA. Every time I read …

    IB is still so expensive. The new Sprwctrum Ethernet switches are a better choice IMO.

    I tried the self driving mode and it couldn’t handle a very popular and common road in Pennsylvania. I have a friend who had his Tesla in the shop for 2 months and literally had no…

    Not news. Monster Energy has been suing every single company using the word Monster in their title. This has been happening for years. For every company you hear about them suing, …

    This is what a socially awkward billionaire who lives on his own island thinks is socializing. Not surprising at all.
