Wow, I had no idea! Nor did I know that Vulkan performs so well. I'll have to read more, because this could really simplify my planned build.
Count me as someone who would be interested in a post!
Are you saying that you're running an Nvidia/AMD multi-GPU system, and they can work together during inference? So, your LLM-relevant VRAM is 10gb(3080)+20gb(7900xt)?
Thanks! Time flies.
The static fire (at Massey's) hadn't actually started. Unclear how the ground systems are doing. At least it's a pretty night explosion?

SpaceX's Ship 36 catastrophically failed while preparing for a static fire test.

Just sent you a message!
Glad it wasn't just me. That seemed like a ton of venting.
This article is worth the read. Starliner was in an extremely precarious situation that we didn't previously know about.
It's so disappointing. Now the next person to write valid, honest critiques will have to overcome this author's selfishness to get attention.
Berger suggests that "another launch before this summer seems unlikely".
I think that's speculation rather than reporting, but it's nice to have a non-CEO reference point. Hopefully employees get a breather during this redesign, somehow.
I'm struggling to think of a reason that Starship shouldn't be grounded for 6-12 months after this (I know they won't be, but I'll be mad about it). This is a consecutive uncontrolled failure during the "easy" part of the flight over a highly populated region. It seems like pure luck that the RUD didn't happen early enough to impact land. They're still doing a great job, but today was rough.
Maybe it's time to rethink the Texas plans?
Edit: Upon reflection I'm less pessimistic now, as long as the FTS behaved reasonably. But I'll still be mad if they're flying again in a month.
Tout est nominal jusqu'à présent! Interesting how wobbly the fairings looked during separation.
Fingers crossed the engine relight is more successful than last time.

I found this insightful. Eager Space has lost a lot of optimism about the program, and argues that SpaceX is now at the dreaded threshold of hubris. The Apollo program faced a similar crisis after the Apollo 1 disaster.
I find myself agreeing, especially with the spreading "block 3 will fix everything" mentality online. It doesn't feel that simple.
