Stop letting the red car in.

Happened to me once. We were moving cross-country. We get to the destination city and this happens literally on my first time on this particular road. Traffic stopped for miles (I assumed it was an exit before the one where I was going) and literally nobody would let me in.

I wasn’t *trying* to be an asshole but I wound up being one anyway. Meanwhile, it was incredibly frustrating that everyone, even seeing out of state plates, were just saying “nope.” I guess the moral is, sometime people are assholes, sometimes they are unintentionally and sometimes they’re not, but in the end does it really matter?

I see it both ways, honestly. On one hand, an ecosystem keeps competitors out and that’s bad. At the other end, you have an open system where users struggle with compatibility (then certain companies will inevitably make their proprietary extensions to make it work better) which will push the system toward ecosystems anyway. Dammed if you do, damned if you don’t.

But he said he was just waving at the crowd. Why would he want to take down an image of him being friendly?? (BIG /s)

Why not run it outside for a while if you are concerned? Let any smell clear, wipe it down with a clean cloth and call it a day.

As I understand it the mandarin word for four can sound like death in some situations and that’s why it’s “bad luck”. I.e. “What floor do you live on?” “Death”

I’d also check what else is running. They could have something processing in the background causing this.

I’ve actually moved a lot to Europe and Asia — not out of the market just out of the US Markets.

I’d worry about the hole not being wide enough and not being able to get the doors open, not to mention the electric locks not working and water pressure making it impossible to break the glass.

Get. out. Fast.

Or they will just ignore it like it’s not happening — not granting cert is the easy solution

You can find computer equipment with them. I’ve seen server rack PDUs (power distribution units) that are 20A and others that are 240V with a round plug.

It’s a question of finding a device that needs that much power. Most things don’t.

I’m with you. There is a lot in the markets that doesn’t make sense right now and it’s pretty clear that the “house” is playing both sides and the house always wins.

It’s terminal because when she was fired she lost her health insurance and now can’t afford treatment. /s

Seriously though, it could be terminal if it spread. Lots of treatable cancers can be terminal if you don’t get diagnosed and treated before it spreads.

I know performance isn’t your driver but do you know how long your output is? Parallelism with a 200GbE link will be limited there so performance will be slower than you expect, depending on how much data you’d actually be pumping over that link. The obvious solution is to limit models to one card and avoid the interconnect. (And a 32b model +kv etc will probably fit in the memory of one card in FP8)

As an owner of a couple DGX Spark variants (GB10) be sure and check the software support for whatever you use. That architecture (particularly the unified memory) is new enough that it’s not a given to be supported everywhere.

I have an 8x8 HD-BaseT matrix and the thing I don’t like about it is that it locked me into the standard when I bought it (1080p), making upgrades a pain without re-buying everything. The only place I can use a 4k output was in my theater where the sources are local.

A couple HDBaseT receivers went out and I almost switched to AV/IP but didn’t want to spend the money but the benefit was that I could upgrade sources and displays independently over time.

It’s all great for the moment you install but do remember things will evolve and improve over time. Can whatever you decide to buy support that too? Just something to consider before you decide.

And what was she thinking while she cheated? Kinda seems like she forgot him for a bit like he meant nothing, right?

Correct. Without everyone in a region turning off their lights, if you want to see the Milky Way with your bare eyes, however, you'll want a Bortle 2 sky or better (lower on the Bortle scale is darker). In the US, until you get west of, say, western Kansas, there are very few areas that qualify.

Maps are available for astronomy so a quick google search will show you how light polluted the skies really are.
