Avril didn’t make it obvious enough apparently.


A1 and HP sauce are both British… I guess they do.


I don’t know if a lot of people realize that LLM’s basically started from Google translate.


Yes it was a overblown nothing.


Imagine a server is a store with staff that handle customer requests in a first in / first out kind of order. Now imagine you’ve got 20 years worth of black Friday traffic trying to get to it.
The server might be able to handle the requests that get to it, but the sheer volume of traffic makes it impossible to get in or out effectively.


Block the communities, or use piefed since it has many more filtering options.


That was my thought too when reading about it. Surely he has a personal doctor with a bit of discretion.


Not all datacenters bother with noise abaitment.


Because it costs them money to stream, so it’s in their interest to make sure you don’t just queue up a bunch of stuff and fall asleep.


You can try a “ground loop isolator” to get rid of the hum


The source code is private, how can you call that open source?


I owned several xps in a row, then got one with that touch bar. I returned it and stayed away since. Smart move to ditch it

I’ve deployed substantial quantities of gear in 9 datacenters across 4 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. https://www.digitalrealty.com/resources/articles/what-floor-loading-capacity-do-dlr-data-centers-have


Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you’re at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It’s much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
That being said I’ve been in many data centers in the middle of a giant office towers, but they have lower weight limits generally.


They have their own grid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Interconnection
Texas is also a big datacenter state tho.
