@beffjezos Very small boxes and no unusual power consumption, which is quite different for gaming rigs.

@Kacper_PK_CH @Adamatti6 @canarinho60043 A friend of mine was there a few years back and also very impressed. On my bucket list as well 😎

@Porkchop_EXP There is a substantial gap in pay for essentially the same job in high-end banking jobs as well, which is known, but would still shock people. I do approve the measure as it is more beneficial overall, but I know shops that will not like it.

@Michaelzsguo A hidden topic is upload speed, I was checking it today for my gx10 and normal (retail) upload speeds in Europe are less attractive to renters compared to data centers.

@Porkchop_EXP Kalbach last week 😉

@bf_crane If you like him in Succession, check out Ripper Street on BBC.

@sudoingX Not to defend Nvidia's price policy, but the Asus GX10 Spark-clone is significantly cheaper than the official Spark (while still much more expensive than AMD).

@Kacper_PK_CH The best signal is when European governments start to invest in an area. Best exit liquidity ever (and usually a big loss for the tax payer).

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@sudoingX That is tempting and you would be my first subscription on this platform. Getting my GX10 up to speed might be worthwhile. No doubt on your quality, just not sure it fits my regular non-AI schedule. TBD.

@offshoremayor 85$ for the next 12 months would be money printing for many names while staying acceptable for most countries. I am just not sure how the inventory math will work on this.

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@sudoingX I discovered yesterday how to use NVFP4 models and what kind of speed that means on a Spark, simple for a pro, but for someone new to the party: you can get that kind of speed locally? With a 120b model? And your AI will do the config? Unreal.

@Porkchop_EXP I am not an IPA guy usually, more classic lager, but if you have a brand, I will check it out.

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@Porkchop_EXP Interesting, I haven't found my "best" one yet, so I am open to recommendations. Another option for the summer is Kombucha, but also there is a wide range of different tastes.

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@Kacper_PK_CH Reminds me of "All models are wrong, some are useful!"

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@sudoingX I would have preferred the AMD route, but I just want to move my complex research skills from the cloud to a local model (can run overnight, time is less important), and I can stomach the budget (I just don't like to). And 128GB is the sweet spot for real work vs budget.

[Chris @ChrisXFRA]

@Porkchop_EXP Enjoy, and let other people engage with the dish washer!

@jimboot @sudoingX Asus GX10 (Spark clone).
