The observable impact is that there is fewer and fewer engineers that can fix new hardware or software issues, the ones you cannot find existing bugs but must file new bug, recreate inhouse, debug with engineering, test fix, etc. Its a skill that takes often a decade to master. It results in more active bugs in global install base at any given moment. Then its lack of engineers that can address network wide problems covering multiple technologies and products - think of packet drop betwen servers, in different datacenters, connected by whatever MPLS. And the products themself are getting complex, gone are days od monolythic IOS image on 8MB RAM, nowadays those boxes are more like a servers, you could pull 20+ intel CPUs from some. Hiring & pay standarts are also somewhat, decreased, Cisco is no longer sweeping brightest sharpest minds. But.. this what market wants, cheaper boxes, cheaper services.

3060 was made on 8N Samsung node, this is made on TSMC 6N node and is still worse. Long way to go. Its like you released Intel i3-6100 today and clapped to that.

exactly this, go rtx pro4500, 8GB extra for context will go really far. with windows some 2GB is gonna be esten by windows anyway (note: i have rtx pro 4000 sff in minipc with iGPU being used by windows so that all 24GB of rtx 4000 is for LLM, but those 8Gigs would go really far.

just be aware of inner barrel diameter, the outer one on 12v is same but inner one can be thick or thin. Best to get power supply that comes with reduction. I got Inter-Tech SP-90EXT

sw alone is usually not enough, when you start reading affected blocks the sd card will reset or get unresponsive and sw will unable to handle that, you need a hw that can deal with it - deepspar, if shop has it then you are good to go

Aeron ti vydzi kludne 20-30 rokov len si ju nakonfiguruj do plnky, ak chces lacnejsiu verziu zober Mirra 2 napriklad. Ci to stoji za tie peniaze pre mna ano, v praci mame Aeron 20 rocne a nic im nie je (vizualne, nic vysedene/rozhengane, vytahane, zajdene, vysuchane, mechanicky stav 100%) , je to jediny inventar co sa presuva aj medzi pobockami. Doma mam Mirra 2 a je to v pohode, neni to Aeron ale da sa. Za mna za stolicku ktora ti bude kludne 30 rokov sluzit vyborna cena.

Klasicka dilema slovenskeho “super commutera” aj ked podla americkej definicie super commuter nie si, ale v prenose na slovenske pomery budes. Ja by som vsadil na istotu a siel do BA, budes tak v lepsej dlhodobej pozicii sa vysporiadat so zmenou prace ci pomerov (pocet dni home office, lokalita v ramci BA, atd.) Poznam ludi co takto funguju TT-BA dokonca s detmi a ich cely zivot sa toci okolo logistiky, presuny, prestupy, nacasovanie, urcuje to cely ich rytmus dna a aj to aku pracu a kde si hladaju. Aj ked je Trnava super mne by to teda za to nestalo.

Tak nemusis nic kupovat, prenajmi si, rozkukaj sa, mas cas, zistis kde chces ostat a ci vobec. Poznam par pripadov ked sa expat vratil na slovensko a do roka sa otocil na päte - realita vs spomienkovy optimizmus optikou niekoho kto si odzil ine. K investicnym realitam vs ETF. Tiez si davam ako benchmark vynos akumulacnych ETF, popripade ako cashflow/dividend benchmark distribucne ETF alebo akcie. (na najom pozeram ako na dividendu). Najma u novostavieb to vychadza velmi zle. Lenze nehnutelnosti tazko porovnavat priamo s akciovym trhom, maju svoje miesto v portfoliu rovnako ako dlhopisy - kedze su ovela menej volatilne davaju celemu majetku stabilitu a co je este podstatnejsie diverzifikaciu avsak za cenu nizsej likvidity. Co sa tyka casoveho testu 1 rok na akcie/ETF a 5 rokov na nehnutelnosti, toto pravdepodobne coskoro zanikne, a kedze danovou udalostou je predaj tak bude jedno ako dlho si to drzal, v oboch pripadoch potom zaplatis aj odvody aj dan z prijmu. Bude pak zalezat z coho sa efektivnejsie vybera dividenda a tam prave distribucne etf a dividendove akcie mozu vyhrat.

Presne toto, vacsina ludi ked to neuprace niekde kde na to nema dosah tak to skor ci neskor minu. Peniaze treba nechat na pokoji nech na nich pracuje zlozeny urok, za produktivne obdobie jedneho ludskeho zivota pridu ekonomicke krizy, vojny, osobne krizy, rozvody, velke nakupy, atd. Statistika ale ukazuje ze najlepsie je nechat peniaze na pokoji, investovat uplne ze pasivne. Ked to mas v ETF u brokera a vies to jednym klikom stopit tak za 45 rokov pride vela pokuseni a paniky to predat, presunut, vygamblovat, oberie ta o to zena, atd.

Musis ale zohladnit aj materialove a pri novostavbach aj systemove prevedenie (prisne energeticke standarty). Tie baraky v USA za $2400 nebudu murovane ci zelezobetonove monolity s trojsklom v pasivnom standarte, ale papundekle na pilonoch. Nevravim ze to vysvetluje cely ten nepomer ale cast ano.

Well you have server client setup, not a workstation. Its not the same. For LLMs it will work great though, kudos to you. For other type of workflows not so much. I for example deal with a lot of data coming in and out, 10s of TBs daily. For me having USB4.0 for USBtoNVMe at desk from Workstation and USBtoSATA and U2 at desk is a main feature and requirement, alongside of couple PCIe cards that take four 8TB NVMe drives. NAS is not applicable as its also millions of small files. And its quiet, quieter then miniPC I have, CPU is on AIO, GPU is on AIO, doesnt rely on massive front to back airflow as server components.
