I got ghosted by Apple after traveling to Cupertino to do some phone interviews from an Apple conf room. I'm pretty sure I've been blacklisted there for reasons unknown. Their recr…

I get about 20 minutes of work from my 5h limit with the $20 plan. It wouldn't bother me as much if codex would continue after the token bucket refills instead of waiting for me to…

Gimme an rtx spark in the new framework 13 pro.

My take from working at a Big Corp is that individuals using coding agents can increase velocity substantially and produce good quality work, assuming they are proficient with the …

Nix isn't involved in my container images. I just take the dependencies and env vars from the flake and generate a dockerfile. Guess I need to try out dockerTools. That looks reall…

I do the same. Codex manages a per project flake.nix and uses `nix develop` for all testing. nix-direnv for my own convenience. I generally have it generate dockerfiles or other de…

The distinction is scale. "AI Datacenters" are a new level of scale with new levels of power consumption and heat generation. Sure you could run regular compute and w/e in them but…

No. Agendas like, "I need to push my ideas for promotion credits."

I'm building the same stuff I've always built. Just faster and with less dependence on others. Not having to argue with devs that have their own agendas has been my biggest benefit…

TBF this was the case prior to the firmware change. It wasn't a bait and switch. It just wasn't obvious to someone buying a printer they thought worked with open source slicers.

Did you install the network connector Orca slicer prompted you to download? It's a closed source blob that runs on your PC which I'm presuming you haven't air-gapped as well.

`initcall_blacklist` is a thing.

amd gpus compete but they lack the interconnect. NVLink performance is a huge deal for training.

There's a few dimensions you can look at for gpu load. Probably the easiest indirect metric to watch for gpu load is power usage. But if you really care about this, you should actu…

I previously worked at a managed database as a service company. On more than one occasion during my time there, a junior engineer deleted a customers database and at least one time…

I did some work on an agent that was supposed to demonstrate a learning pipeline. I figured having it fix broken linux servers with some contrived failures would make for a good ex…

Do people really want codex to have control over their computer and apps? I'm still paranoid about keeping things securely sandboxed.

Well they're liquid cooled, so there's some extra handling required. Then there's the sky high failure rate.

A dozen people couldn't handle the number of daily nvidia compute tray RMAs one of these datacenters produces.

Appreciate you making my point for me.

I don't know anything about this particular site, but I presume it's one of the new mega gpu sites. I'm seeing many people in the comments with an early 2000's era concept of datac…

There's going to be continued support from local electricians, low voltage wiring vendors, various facilities service companies, HVAC, and now plumbers.. lots of plumbers. So many …

Local shops will absolutely be contracted to work on the project. A datacenter project like this can't find enough qualified electricians.

Many jobs during construction. A site like this is a substantial multi-year construction effort. Long term permanent jobs.. not so much.
