Same, after getting into homelabbing, "post-lease" became my favorite word.

  When this bubble bursts, we'll have a lot of number crunching capability being sold for peanuts.

    Using these tiny floats for classic engineering workloads—if I were starting gradschool right now, that’s definitely what I’d look at. Mixed precision numerical algorithms are already a topic, but with the hardware glut there’ll definitely be room to push things. So it’s in a nice spot where there’s some scaffolding, but it isn’t totally done, and the hardware is probably going to make things possible.

      > Using these tiny floats for classic engineering workloads I think that's the idea. Back in the stone age, I did that with Apple II floats (40-bits) because I was hitting quantization problems in a Mandelbrot explorer program I wrote. Wrapping my head around it in BASIC was hard. You can only go so far when your abstraction level is that low.
