Also: DARVO.

Cry in story points. Like a real scrum master level 9000.

It seems like retries are sometimes best left to the human being in front of the screen. Works well enough.

CAP theorem. Pick one of those.

We used to be able to afford two! Acronym letters cost as much as houses nowadays!

OK I'll pick C and A!

The problem is that P is actually part of A. It should be called the CA theorem.

It's all about what you choose in the face of P. Do you choose C or do you choose A?

Yes. But calling it CP or AP makes it seem like you can also choose CA.

(Also both CP and AP have alternative very dodgy meanings)

Then where are the HDMI ports on Nvidia's current data center GPU product lines?

And the change in failure rate and technical advances are a de-facto change in actual depreciation vs. accounting depreciation.

Electricity gets converted to heat which has to be removed through the cooling system.

Performance per Watt is the key metric for data centers full of GPUs.

That just shows up as a constant factor, accounted for at build out. Consider if each watt dissipated required an additional watt. That's clearly an absurd overestimate yet it would "only" double power costs making the example $2800 / year. Underestimate the B200 at $30k USD and you've got 10.5 years of operation before you achieve parity as a fairly unrealistic worst case estimate. Now consider that at a 9% failure rate the average lifespan is only ~11 years. So electricity (both operation and cooling) is pretty much guaranteed to be less than half your total operating cost no matter how you slice it.

Kernel option nohz_full in grub config.

Also disable hardware SMT as a kernel option in grub config. Then the cores can clock down way more often and L1 data cache size doubles.

XFCE and X11 tripled my laptop battery life vs. whatever Wayland+GNOME Ubuntu (2024?) brought by itself.

Powertop and tlp also help.

Happy camping.

EDIT: the lower heat dissipation also halved boot time. That one surpised me the most.

EDIT2: Disable "atime" with ext4 option "noatime". Saves a lot of power, heat, trimming, and re-writes on your SSD/NVMe.

For "faster shutdowns" manually run systemctl start fstrim.service. Not exactly sure why fstrim.timer seems unreliable.
