You also get some nice server specific silicon on your dedicated hardware that you might not otherwise, that could seriously speed up your application under high-load conditions.

Disclaimer: I have a homelab that I spend time working on.

Homelabbers justify their work wrt productivity: "sparing me the headache of dependency conflicts and TCP port collisions".

But let's face it: tons of productive developers manage without having spent 10s-100s hours on a VM-per-project homelab setup.

Homelabbing is a hobby, and that's okay. Researching parts, building computers, automating provisioning, self-sufficiency, etc.
eGPU support will depend on if they have a way to work around the need for a PCIe I/O BAR. Many GPUs require that to initialize and as far as I know no ARM cpus support it since it's a legacy-ish x86 thing. It'll be the same problem that prevents gpu use on raspberry pi 4s still. I bet you can make a controller that'll provide a mapping for that to allow it but that'll mean needing a new enclosure (probably not a huge deal) and new silicon and drivers.
Many of the same pieces solving a slightly different problem. In the NetApp case it was pushing the edge of the de-duplication for efficient archival storage problem. EMC had discovered that MD5 hash collisions made deduping on a document level dangerous (you could think you had a document when you didn't). Those collisions came from dissimilar sized documents and indeed you could "attack" MD5 signatures in that way. With a fixed document size, the probabilities went back to the actual MD5 collision probabilities. Those probabilities were acceptably small. On the "fast" part of the archival server, instead of storing 8K blocks you could store 16 byte "block identifiers" (but still using all of the standard WAFL file system layout, it thinks it is using 16 byte blocks. Those could be stored in "fast" storage (think SSD) and the actual data on slow "cold" storage. Your back-end server does do "content addressable" kinds of things in terms of hash->block location services but it is simple, only three operations "does block <x> exist?", "give me block <x>" and "store this block as <x>."

For a write mostly fabric attached archival device it had some benefits over the SATA based filers (higher density, lower watts/terabyte, less CPU load on the filer head (spread out to the storage retrieval unit which could have many of the hash->block tranalators) etc. I don't believe NetApp ever built a complete one though. Just "too many degrees off their bow" as an engineer I knew would say.

> How much power does an M1 draw compared to a 5950X?

The 5950X cores are actually reasonably power efficient. Anandtech has nice charts here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

TL;DR is that 5950X cores draw about 6W each with all cores loaded at around 3.8GHz per core. They scale up to 20W in the edge case where a single core is loaded at a full 5GHz.

> And the M1 is running at a lower clock.

Comparing a power-optimized laptop chip to an all-out, top of the line desktop chip isn't a great way to compare efficiency because power scaling is very nonlinear. The AMD could be made more efficient on a performance-per-watt basis by turning down the clock speed and reducing the operating voltage, but it's a desktop chip so there's no reason to do that.

Look at the power consumption versus frequency scaling in the Anandtech chart for the 5950X: Going from 3.8GHz to 5.0GHz takes the power from about 6W to 20W. That's 230% more power for 30% more clockspeed. Apple is going to run into similar nonlinear power scaling when they move up to workstation class chips.

If you really wanted to compare power efficiency, you'd have to downclock and undervolt the AMD part until it performs similarly to the Apple part. But there's no reason to do that, because no one buying a top of the line 5950X cares about performance per watt, they just want the fastest possible performance.

Comparing to an upcoming Zen3 laptop chip would be a more relevant comparison. The Apple part is still going to win on power efficiency, though.
Thanks! I feel like sometimes, just like you say, things in life are one step away. One last attempt.

It's a pretty great reflection actually...looking back and seeing how many last attempts actually worked out.

It was a sandboxed online Ruby interpreter. Oh gosh, it must have been at least 13 years ago now.

Thanks for the notes! Another idea I've been thinking about is to capture the phase by splitting ACF into multiple complementary parts at the spectral density step, i.e. when we draw the spectrogram, we use |r exp(i phi)|^2 of the FFT output and that |...|^2 drops the phi. However, we could split this |...|^2 into a sum of a few terms that would add up to the same spectral density, but would separately capture the phase. In the simplest case, |x + iy|^2 = x^2 + y^2, can be interpreted as two half-spectrograms: one for x^2 and another for y^2. If colored the same, we'd get the original spectrogram, but if colored differently, we'd know values of x^2 and y^2 and that's enough to know the phase up to a quadrant.
Well, I think it is subjective.

> What in the world is an actual professional?

I would say that generally, a "professional" user of pretty much any tool, is someone for whom the tool's quality is a constraint on their professional productivity.

A professional paint user is an artist. A professional telescope user is an astronomer—or a sniper. A professional typewriter user is a stenographer. A professional shoe user is an athlete.

In all these cases, it's the quality and innovation in the tool, that's holding these professionals back from being even better at their job than they already are.

Also, take special note of the case of the stenographer: professionals often require special professional variants of their tools, which trade off a longer learning curve for a higher productivity ceiling once learned. A stenographic keyboard takes years to learn, but all non-stenographic keyboards cap out at 150WPM, while stenographic keyboards allow those trained in their use to achieve 300+WPM.

And to make one more point: a professional car driver isn't a race-car driver. A professional car driver is a chauffeur. Rolls-Royce's cars aren't famous for how luxurious they are to drive; they're famous for having all the amenities needed by professional drivers — chauffeurs — to allow them to efficiently cater to their clients' needs. Limousines are the same kind of "professional tools" that stenographic keyboards are: they increase chauffeuring productivity.

How did you go about picking the software? You could have picked xcp-ng, hyper-v, or just run a small Linux machine with QEMU-KVM that you could SSH in or VNC into and change. This would allow SCP or FTP capabilities for your ISOs and images. I've personally never used Proxmox, but I'd like to know how you ended up picking this one over other solutions. Why ditch ESXi?

How do you end up managing using the same VMs? Do you have a template and you clone the template? Or do you have a way of just running both a template VM and an application VM, and have the app VM use the template VM for most of it's OS level needs. If you end up having 10 VMs, how do you properly update?

Yes, the problem is that you are confusing key re-use with layering algorithms. Key re-use is bad, layering algorithms is not.

Sure, and AMD's is probably similar.

The difference being that Apple only sells theirs inside of $1000+ computers, and AMD has to make up the entire margin on their CPU alone.

Behold, the power of vertical integration.
Go ahead, buy into that and before long Apple will lock the OS down so tight you will only be able to install software from the app store.

QCom focuses their capital on handsets. They could likely compete with Apple design, but they wouldn’t have a market for years. Also, they’d be competing as a commodity against Intel, AMD and AMLogic. In the semi industry, it’s not a good bet to invest only to become a 2nd source that eats into everyone’s margin.

Apple is a vertical. They own their market, so the investment has more predictable returns.
