Klyith posted:Their stock is pretty correlated to how many video cards they sell. Give or take the irrationality of the stock market, yeah. I’d apparently misunderstood you saying that they paid for ARM out of GPU revenues, and $40B of accumulated nerd-tithe savings seemed like a lot more than I thought they had on hand.

I wonder how they handle scheduling if it’s a shared resource. That used to be a big problem just in VR, let alone safety applications. Or do you mean that it’s for local training of the network? I hadn’t heard that they were doing that either!

BlankSystemDaemon posted:HPC clusters doing scientific calculations like that done at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory need storage at exabyte scales with bandwidth enough that a single 100Gbps fiber interface isn't going to be enough. When I worked on developing Lustre and the first deployment at LLNL in ~2004 (on top of extN), we broke Linux’s df and some other utilities because they couldn’t handle exabyte-sizes filesystems. Livermore took something like 15 years to promote Lustre to full production use from its initial “scratch” deployment; they’re serious about their hard-to-reproduce data being safe. (In terms of unclassified stuff, at least. I don’t know if they were more aggressive with Q and friends.)

Rexxed posted:It's an interesting idea but I suspect unless you had a heat exchanger to isolate the two systems then the tiny structures in the computer cooling part would get clogged up over time with microorganisms or just detritus. Plus, with PC cooling there's such a ramp up and down with CPU power and heat dissipation you'd probably need to be able to independently start and stop the cooling so you don't cook the fish. Maybe with a much bigger tank, temperature control hardware, and a link to be able to throttle the system up or down if needed. Yeah, maybe some sort of heat exchanger with a buffer tank between them so you could store excess heat and decouple computer usage timing from tank heating timing. My thermodynamics knowledge is as bad as all my other physics knowledge so… Why am I mind-building this? I don’t even want an aquarium or open-loop cooler really. Well, not very much. Probably.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:And to be slightly fair to our shithole country, it's not just us. I have not been following it too closely but "Bill C-11" has passed in Canada which, as I understand it, regulates what Canadians can watch so that they're steered to "patriotic" Canadian content? Both Muta and J.J McCullough have done videos on it. C-11 seems far worse than even the Restrict and Earn It Acts, but give it time; I'm sure the geezers in congress are working on an American version of that as well. That’s not my read of C-11, but I’m not a parliamentary law expert by any means. It seems like it’s just another bite at the cancon apple, to prop up Canadian content makers, and doesn’t seem to say anything about patriotism or other values.

LGD posted:when in fact GN teed them up a ridiculously easy (and non-personally adversarial) PR response as an organization (at least if, y'know, the owner hadn't seemingly taken the broad and well supported organizational criticism personally and deflected attention to a second issue where he was immediately caught in a lie) This is so true. Linus had a huge opportunity to “come to Tech Jesus” and repent meaningfully for the previous known and systematic sloppiness, and everyone would have rallied around him to support the new, thoughtful LMG. That he didn’t means that probably a) they really can’t afford to be more thoughtful because only a completely reckless approach to content can cover the cheques that Linus has written, or b) he is really not capable of that thoughtful interrogation of his history as a corporate leader. Neither is a good situation. The LMG CEO has to be furious, if he isn’t a complete, abject moron.

Lister posted:Steve could have directly questioned Linus and maybe gotten specific answers about what the root cause is instead of Linus immediately being defensive about loving over Billet Labs. What single piece of evidence makes you think that Linus would have been the slightest bit honest about that, when the problem is him, by definition of his role in the enterprise? Linus has never shown the tiniest bit of self-awareness. Linus has also said, directly and explicitly, that it wasn’t worth spending the additional time to fix errors that were in videos, blanching at the less-than-4-backpacks cost of reshooting and re-editing a segment of video that was found to have been inaccurate. Steve didn’t just encounter Linus for the first time this week.
