I do appreciate the scrappiness of your solution. Used drives for a storage cluster is like /r/homelab on steroids. And since it's pretraining data, I suppose data integrity isn't critical.
Most venture-backed startups would have just paid the AWS or Cloudflare tax. I certainly hope your VCs appreciate how efficient you are being with their capital :)
The RPi4 SoC has a lot constraints wrt PCIe and frankly appears to not implement the PCIe spec completely or correctly. A lot PCIe devices simply don't work with it.
My understanding is that California is short around a million housing units. Truly a staggering number that will take very long to catch up on. Not sure how many units are being allowed by builder's remedy but it surely isn't the full million.
Somehow we have grown a whole generation of people that thinks they are entitled to live wherever they want, when that has never been the case in world’s history.
I too want a penthouse in Manhattan, who do I need to mail to demand I am given a penthouse in Manhattan?
California clearly doesn’t have the capacity to serve the current population, let alone an increased population. All services are 3rd world quality, besides a few rich enclaves.
Somehow we have grown a whole generation of people that thinks they are entitled to tell their neighbors what they are allowed to build. I too want everyone around me to have a one story house so I can look over them from my balcony, but guess what, that would impede on their property rights. California absolutely has the capacity to serve the current population, they just need to fix the shit show that is their housing policy.
Lots of Video and Audio Devices come in 1/3rd and 1/2 rack sizing, this would be good for Blackmagic Ultrastudio type devices. (8.27" wide and need airflow side to side)
