Side notes: donations are in my channel's about page.

[jenetttillotson]

I'm one of the systems engineers who worked on Cheyenne. If you want to have a conversation about it or supercomputers in general, just holler!

[doomboots]

Could have been the most epic start to a new scrapyard wars season. You have $500k per team to build the best supercomputer

[zev_]

Hearing Linus talking about Hard R reminded me of how when I was a kid, Hard R was used when referring to a movie rating. If a movie was R rated, and REALLY deserved its R rating due to excessive themes such as nudity, language, or gore, people would say the movie was a hard R.

[caydencorning]

I woke up to my earbud having died at the point they were talking about people auto playing into the middle of a WAN show and I thought the simulation was cracking.

[NuclearAmouri]

"I bought a super computer to host my own chatGPT" - Luke probably

[taj]

I personally can't stand auto-play on YouTube, so falling asleep and then waking up to something like the WAN Show playing is never an issue for me. Lol

[hdc]

Linus is obviously right about not buying the supercomputer but he was forgetting one very important factor the Memes.😂

[chriscowolfmann]

Linus: “Eat a raw Cockatiel in front of your birds?” Luke: “They would be pretty upset.” Linus: “He was ripped out of his skull and didn’t recognize it was a live bat” Dan: “We’ve all been there”

This is why the WAN show is my favorite podcast

[piccolojiggolo]

Without an intro, is it really the WAN show?

[TheInternetHelpdeskPlays]

Just to clarify.
The cheyenne supercomputer was the 20th most powerful when it was built, but right now you can match the power of it with under 50 4090s.
28 rack units can be shrunk to 2 or 3.

1:13:45 as someone with Spotify premium who occasionally listens to podcasts, I can say they definitely do not remove the ads for us

[themohawkfoundation]

Fashionably behind once again this week, but I am a former OTR truck driver. Most new trucks come with what is called an APU, auxiliary power unit, run off a small diesel engine with typically a 1500 to 2000W inverter built into the system. The reason you are unlikely to see a high-end gaming computer typically is the incredible amount of vibration and physical movement in a semi truck. I actually knocked multiple Xbox 360s out of laser alignment with nothing more than standard driving.

Linus I make 30, 000 a year and I just bought a 4090 with 128 GB ram as well as an Intel i3-11000KF was it a bad decision I don’t have electricity yet so I may not be able to reply for a while.

[diabloterrorgf]

I'd buy an alpaca wool lined backpack so it can both protect my electronics and would work as a pillow when I need it.

[Cerg]

24:05 yeah, the everyday Russian term for both P2W and giving money to streamers/content makers etc is донат (donàt) which obviously originates from "donation". That's probably why he calls it that.
Also, BTR is not just a truck. It's an APC with a mounted machine gun.

[TheRealWoofer]

What the hell happened to our new intro!? That /r one from last week was dope! 🥲

Week before? What year is it?

[Maximum_Nova]

regarding CPU supercomputers, I'm currently learning weather modelling and climate modelling, and most of the weather and climate models that we are learning about are designed to run on CPU supercomputers. For example the Weather Research and Forecasting model, WRF, has no ability to be run on GPUs - but runtimes scale linearly with # of cpu cores
point is, not literally everything run on super computers is designed to run on GPU SMs

[derekdjay]

Did the Cheyenne supercomputer come with the gate dialing program? I wanted to use it for a Stargate replica in my room, it has a shiny curtain imitating water and can even project a picture on it to look like it's open toward another place. (it sounds rad as hell but unfortunately i don't have such gate)

[deinans]

I specifically use wan show to fall asleep but then I find the spot I remember and listen to it again while awake
