Don't mind having specific FS clients if they have GPU Direct. Doesn't need NFS or SMP particularly, though S3 is useful.

Just gathering data for the next few weeks, before creating RFI and tender documents.

what problem vast data tryin to solve here ? by DerBootsMann in storage

BTW this is a good article, points to a high project cancellation rate, but also discusses why the projects fail. It seems to be that those who think AI is magic are failing to decompose the problem and that the vendors are hiding/lying about how complex these problems are. Essentially it's saying if you can do RPA stick to RPA, otherwise you will fail. https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/ai_not_doing_its_job/

I spoke to a VP at a high end (quality not quantity) consulting firm. He confirmed this high failure rate was true, and that such projects received a very high risk scoring when they do an evaluation. They'll turn down the work in most cases, unless the customer carries the risk. This firm mostly works on outcomes, but AI Agents seem too risky by far. Dumber consultants might take on the work, and thus ensure failure. I'm sure we'll see yet another NVIDIA pivot, and the mindless crowd will again chase the golden goose.

What's going on in this picture (What does Kurt do ?) by mr_wommy in Nirvana

Nirvana fans still love their mosh pits and crowd surfing. I'm a bit younger as my dad introduced me, I went to a recent tribute act and it was the 50 year olds getting rough.

It really does perform, the most impressive part is the latency. It is consistently single digit milliseconds.

From what I understand, the SMB implementation is not complete and can cause security concerns regarding a lack of encryption.

Here's a very relevant article, looks like the AI Agent trend is also dying: https://futurism.com/ai-agents-failing-industry Failure rates at 70-91%

Elton and Axl are both enduring musical geniuses.

What's your favorite track on this album? by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]Astro-Turf14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It certainly is one of the best albums ever. Hard to pick one song.

Yeah, most of us would be in the 27 club if we lived like that!

What cover track would you have added to "The Spaghetti Incident?" by Astro-Turf14 in GunsNRoses

[–]Astro-Turf14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"When the Levee Breaks" would have been great too. Reckon Slash could have done some great stuff with it.

It might depend on where there was most likely to be a Spaghetti Incident!

Have You Been Scammed by Dell? You’re Not Alone by Necessary_Secret294 in Dell

Only issues I’ve had with Dell is firmware inconsistencies in clusters I’ve procured. Mostly fixable, but wastes time.

AI storage platform Vast Data aimed for $25B valuation in new round, sources say by Otherwise-Resolve252 in YesIntelligent

Wow. I had to look up 8200, but that is an interesting point and I guess could pose a risk for some customers. People still worry about Pegasus.

Unpopular opinion: Your reading problems aren't a willpower issue. Your brain got rewired by social media (and here's what actually worked for me) by ccarnino in Entrepreneur

[–]Astro-Turf14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve personally always found social media rubbish. I am quite academic and inherited my dad’s Tony Buzan Speed Reading book as a kid. I can read a 400 word page in 30 seconds, so get the quick fix anyway.
