New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: San Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups

Show HN: San Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups 684 by flaque | 164 comments on Hacker News. Hey folks! We're Alex and Evan, and we're working on putting together a 512 H100 compute cluster for startups and researchers to train large generative models on. - it runs at the lowest possible margins (<$2.00/hr per H100) - designed for bursty training runs, so you can take say 128 H100s for a week - you don’t need to commit to multiple years of compute or pay for a year upfront Big labs like OpenAI and Deepmind have big clusters that support this kind of bursty allocation for their researchers, but startups so far have had to get very small clusters on very long term contracts, wait months of lead time, and try to keep them busy all the time.

Before being laid off, I held a job as a front-end dev for the previous 5 and a half years. I've had my resume looked at by three different services (TopResume, Indeed, Levels.fyi) and am currently subscribed to Resume Worded, which scores my resume. Despite all these efforts, I keep receiving rejection emails. So, I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has had any similar experiences with applying for jobs.

Show HN: Hacker News user blogroll 546 by deathbypenguin | 130 comments on Hacker News. I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog here". https://ift.tt/fOE6eDX
