Just dropped: Real TCO numbers for a production 248-GPU AI cluster. On-prem vs AWS, GCP, and OCI.
The gap is bigger than most people expect.
Full report with real pricing and transparent assumptions.

Awful Tech Today: how AI will scr*w me today. Delta, my carrier of choice, is going to use AI for ticket pricing. Wonder if it will be smart enough to figure out that I go to Germany for ISC every year? Or to SC, or other events, and use that to jack up my personal price? Nah, they wouldn't do that, right? theverge.com/news/709556/del…

I just dropped my 3,000 rand ($160 US) into the BackaBuddy fund to get Team Wits from South Africa to China for the ASC25 cluster competition.
Challenging anyone in the HPC community to meet or beat my number.

...I held on the line and was soon talking to a tech who got my MAC address and two minutes later I was FLYING on uploads - time went from 6 hours to less than 30 minutes. Now THAT's service! #2022HPCRoadTrip #SC22 #HPE #HPC #giga_io #Delltechnologies #cornelisnetworks

I have some feedback for New Mexico too. While you may be the "Land of Enchantment", you mainly seem to be the "Land of Personal Injury Lawyers" according to the 1,679 billboards I saw in Albuquerque alone. Damn, you don't want to be known for that, show a little pride!

I have some issues with Texas. First, why not build rest areas like everyone else? What the hell are these "picnic areas"? Who brings charcoal briquettes and raw meat on the road, then pulls over to fry it up on the side of the freeway in the (almost always) hot sun?

Road Trip Update: in Los Alamos getting ready for interview, then on to Sandia. Question: Where's a good place to eat in Amarillo? Thai and Indian aren't up my alley, so please confine to American, Italian, Chinese, etc. Thanks! #hpe #SC22 #cornelisnetworks #gigaio #DellTech
