buys it
just games on it
region-wide blackouts all the time now
“they really should fix that”
Something something Crysis.

current price is $100,000
edit: looks like it sold for $480k
If all of Lenny’s users pool together it should cost just, like, $1000 each. We can each rotate our use to 3.7 days a year.
But can it run crysis?
Fuck that, run Doom on it
What is the power bill for running that for one day in, say, San Francisco?
Oh damn, those are the same CPUs I have in my server. Got them off ebay on the cheap.
It’s not a PS3.
What’s amazing is that 99% of people are reading this article on a supercomputer. Likely one that fits in their pocket. If the technology trend continues like it has for the past 70 years or so, we’ll probably have Cheyenne-equivalent computers on our desktops, if not our pockets, in 10-20 years.
If you can afford to be patient, you can get Cheyenne a lot cheaper and a lot smaller.
You didn’t know what you’re talking about
