justahuman74··on How the U.S. National Science Foundation enabled Software-Defined Networking
SDN is great if you're trying to build something like a multi-tenant cloud on top of another network of machines. Your DPUs can handle all the overlay logic as if there was a top of rack switch in each chassis

justahuman74··on How big a solar battery do I need to store all my home's electricity?
To give a concrete datapoint, last month's bill was $820 for just the electricity generation and transmission (so no gas included) - that was for 1900 kWh for 1 month. That handles a 2000 sqft house with central AC, with two EV cars that are driven about 20mins/day, and we only charge those at night when the rates are low (low=$0.3/kWh)

Inference will get much much cheaper. We're paying $30000 for a top of the line gpu right now, but that's only because everyone insists on buying nvidia, so nvidia has full incentive to charge the absolute maximum.

Long term that vendor lock in will go away and prices will go down to something reasonable.

Long ago CPUs were super expensive too, now they're so cheap we put them in toothbrushes
