How much did it cost to put together 4x DGX Spark cluster?
Curious to know what you are using $200/mo CC for? New applications? Business? What kind of application needs to run 2-3 clients run 24/7? How are you coming up with features. Just trying to understand the workflow.
Curious, what is your product?

I do this time to time; but I also watch a lot of nonsense on the same account. Wish there were more controls to premium account.
Interesting. What are the alternative clients you recommend or use?

Edit: found this repo on github, never knew something like this existed. https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

I am very curious on what you mentioned, but not able to comprehend. Can you ELI5? Are you saying fossil fuel based industrial revolution is not as significant as it was or we could have directly jumped to a higher level fuel?
Re:Ask HN: Is there an end to tech job market crash? on Friday November 24, 2023 @06:30PM (#38409548)
What do you mean when you say S&P has crashed already? You mean the constituent companies are tanking/no-growth? Are investors/institutions liquidating their positions in those companies? Trying to understand the situation. TIA!

Ask HN: Is BayArea still considered as hub for technological innovation?

I have always wanted to move to Bayarea ever since I visited for the first time in 2017. Since then I was able to spend few months during Covid, but now I have an opportunity to move [San Jose]. Some of the factors that standout are Weather/Climate, big tech - more career opportunities, proximity to different nature, bad housing. What are the other pluses, minuses moving to Bayarea at this time...

Thanks for sharing this, I came across the same material in a different format (either slides or may be a video couple of years back, can't exactly remember). What stuck to me is "If you are not working on an important problem, your work is not important". I tried to take a positive spin from this statement by considering whatever work I am currently doing is important enough to solve an important problem but it's really hard to convince yourself after some time when it is clearly not. Needless to say, I am still looking for that important problem.
