Gerade mal wieder eine Recruiternachricht bekommen mit dem Text:
"...auch, wenn Sie nicht in Hamburg leben, wollte ich Ihnen da eine Position zukommen lassen, fr die Sie vielleicht einen Umzug erwgen wrden"
In welcher Welt wrde ich fr einen (Software!) IT Job einen Umzug in Betracht ziehen
Ich bin Software-Engineer und niemand der Kabel zieht oder Netzwerke baut.
Ich knnte auf dem Mond leben und selbst dort meine Aufgaben noch (annhernd - aufgrund von ca. 1-2s Delay) genauso erledigen wie jetzt. Ich arbeite seit bald einem Jahrzehnt fast vollstndig Remote (das z.Z. vierteljhrliche Team Meetup mal auen vor).
Warum also in aller Welt sollte ich ber einen Umzug wegen eines Jobs ernsthaft nachdenken

The troublesome economics of CPU-only AI
At the end of the day, it all boils down to tokens per dollar Analysis Today, most GenAI models are trained and run on GPUs or some other specialized accelerator, but that doesn't mean they have to be. In fact, several chipmakers have suggested that CPUs are more than adequate for many enterprise AI use cases.

How to manage time between doing research and actual client work
The approach that I'm using is VERY NARROW FOCUS . I identified the properties of applications, models, and tools that are important to me so I can use them to provide VALUE to my Customers.
I use that definition as a filter. If that brand-new technology does not meet those criteria, I will just let it go.
How do you handle the research versus actual work time in your case
Ok folks.

Monitoring shouts at me: "This server is DOWN!"
I immediately check - it doesnt respond to ping requests. I try to reboot it remotely - no luck.
I attempt to request a remote console after more than 45 minutes, theres still no reply.
I check the logs: the last ZFS send/receive based backup occurred just 23 minutes before the outage (it's an hourly backup).
I call the client to explain the situation: we can either wait or restore from a backup. They express a preference to get back to work after lunch (13:30).
I set up a VPS, install FreeBSD and some packages, then connect to the backup server:
zfs send -RLvw mybckdataset/bastillelastSnap pigz - mbuffer -m512M ssh destserver "pigz -d - zfs receive -x canmount -x readonly zroot/bastille"
After a few minutes (50 GB later):
zfs load-key -r zroot/bastille (since theyre encrypted)
zfs mount -a
service bastille start
Everything's up and running. DNS record changed - disaster recovered. Time: 12:48.
I call the client and say, "Hey, youre back up. Now well wait for the original server to come back, and then well resync the datasets."
The customer, with a witty remark that cleverly shows gratitude without being direct, replies, "Oh come on, and I was hoping to extend my lunch break! "
FreeBSD, jails, and ZFS have, once again, done an excellent job.
Now, I can have my lunch.
