What kind of hardware setup are you planning out? Colocation, roll-your-own data center, something in between? Any thoughts on what servers the GPUs will be housed in?


Montreal would be the place to go for cheap power, and the CAD-USD advantage.


How would somebody that qualifies as a TN NAFTA Professional (e.g. Canadian applying for engineering job with relevant engineering degree) answer the question of "Are you authorized to work in the US?", particularly with regards to sponsorship? As I understand it, the question is to determine if the employer needs to apply for a visa, (H-1B, etc) but according to USCIS all the employer has to do for TN is provide a letter outlining the job, employee qualifications, etc. Is this considered sponsorship?


The TN is company-specific so if you are applying for a new job, even if you have a TN with one company, you would need a new TN and even though the TN process is generally simple and easy, it qualifies as sponsorship.


>it qualifies as sponsorship.

Rats. It's gonna be tough to make it past the first screening round with a No answer. Oh well, fingers crossed some good referral action can help. Thanks for the insight.


Pancreatic cancer really sucks. A friend of mine passed away from it a few months ago at the ripe old age of 25. She was first diagnosed with it at 20, beat it, and then nearly three years later it came back at stage 4. Like Kevin she also underwent a few different experimental treatments, the first of which worked remarkably well. (Until it didn't, which is typical of these treatments) A cure or effective treatment feels so close, and I'm sure if one comes soon I'll be having a bittersweet celebration.

I never did get to meet Kevin, but it's clear that I missed out on an amazing person. RIP Mr Mitnick.


I hope it kickstarts more development in surround sound headphones. I live in a small condo and have a big 4K projector set up. But I can't reasonably do surround sound or turn up the volume. Apple Vision. + surround headphones would be awesome, or projector + many pairs of surround headphones for group experiences.


I wonder if a one-way UAV cargo plane could make the trip. Might not be worth it for eggs, but maybe something more important.


Planes like C17 can overfly and airdrop stuff.

I enjoyed the .compact version of old.reddit.com until they recently got rid of it. Since then my engagement has plummeted, which is probably a good thing...


How have you found focus and framing accuracy to be with the Instax back? I'm planning on picking one up for my Speed Graphic to use with various high speed lenses (Kodak Aero Ektar etc.) and I hope it's up to the task.


Heh, well, that was the main reason it took over a year for me to get around to doing any serious damage with it. The focus was out originally and my graflok is slightly broken so it took some fettling and frequent checking with a vernier to ensure that everything was indeed lined up. Now it seems to be better, but I'm sticking to f8-f22. Instax is approximately ISO 800-1000 so finding a high enough shutter speed to use wide open with a high speed lens will inevitably make focus crazy critical. Framing is fine, the adapter handles that.
