I ❤️ GPUs

@mr_r0b0t @NVIDIAAI The Nvidia forums cover this and 200G is the peak speed you will see.
Good explainer here: https://t.co/iUKzidfbsY

@mr_r0b0t @NVIDIAAI Get two and that 400 GbE switch! 🫡

[Allan MacKinnon @pixelio]

@mr_r0b0t @NVIDIAAI Yeah, I wouldn’t be too worried as it’s a massive savings today.

@mr_r0b0t @NVIDIAAI The manufacturer: https://t.co/NQFi0Olx86

“PCIe Gen4 SSD NVMe offers read & write speeds up to 7 GB/s”

Still a great price in this market!

[Allan MacKinnon @pixelio]

@mr_r0b0t @NVIDIAAI AI is wrong. 🫢
The slot is Gen5.
But there are SKUs with Gen4 NVME drives and some with Gen5. At least one SKU was quickly phased out.
Check the fine print of the specs…
Gen4 NVME is still super fast but upgrading to Gen5 would almost cost you a MikroTik CRS804 400 GbE switch!

@predict_addict Correct, the standardization was by state. 👍

In my case, it was NY State and the Regents high school diploma had standardized tests across a number of subjects.

A quick search implies “longhand” calculation of square roots faded once calculators were allowed in the 90’s.

@CreativeSkyAI @digitalix Yes, the 13SUS ships with Gen5 NVME.
The 11SUS didn’t.
Same price and better thermals (according to MSI) than the DGX Spark… but the Spark’s gold metal case is sweet.

@mohittwwt @digitalix Using LM Studio:
gpt-oss-120b: 44
gpt-oss-20b: 72
nvidia-nemotron-3-nano: 68

[Allan MacKinnon @pixelio]

@digitalix The MSI “13SUS” variant now comes with a Gen5 NVME drive and keeps the old price.

I’m late to the DGX Spark party but I finally got an NVIDIA Blackwell GB10 box!

@anduriltech Where are the specs for the “DCL Al vector module?”

@TimSweeneyEpic Normalize square tacos!

Given the TPU buzz, here's a reminder:

@elonmusk John C. Wright’s “Eschaton Sequence” series has planet and galaxy-spanning minds.

It’s a challenging series to read but full of ideas.
