   Upwork is unmatched

   Although this app, sometimes gets me to my worst... I think it's only fair to call them the best work from home site.

Google Cloud TPU mentions (5)

• Pathways Language Model (Palm): 540B Parameters for Breakthrough Perf

  According to https://cloud.google.com/tpu, each individual TPUv3 has 420 Teraflops, and TPUv4 is supposed to double that performance, so if that guess is correct, it should take a few seconds to do inference. Quite impressive really. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• The AI Research SuperCluster

  You can also rent a cloud TPU-v4 pod (https://cloud.google.com/tpu) which 4096 TPUv-4 chips with fast interconnect, amounting to around 1.1 exaflops of compute. It won't be cheap though (excess of 20M$/year I believe). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  The server choice really depends on how much CPU and RAM the requests take, how many users will be hitting the server, etc. You can start with a $5/month Digital Ocean server (or AWS or Google) and see if that works for you. Or you can outsource the server administration to Amazon or Google if you don't want to deal with it or need specialized tpu hardware. Source: about 3 years ago

• Insulin pens are driving me bonkers

  I just wanted to say, for anyone reading this far: this is the sort of thing you can hire a programmer to whip up for you to carry around on your phone. u/dark_rug just up and did it, but for anybody else finding themselves with a little spreadsheet to do calculations that they want to work on their phone or in the browser, you can go to a service like upwork.com and put out a request for bids from contract...
