What kind of Mac mini do you use (cpu and ram)? I’m really interested in making the same thing but I’m not sure if the base M4 mini is enough with just 16gb of ram.
Depends what you're doing. If it's literally just serving up some static web pages though that is hilariously over specified, you're going to be constrained by your internet connection long before that Mac Mini starts breaking a sweat.
When we built this demo we figured the official translations would be well translated, apparently they are not.
Some people elsewhere in the comments are saying it's just a weird English sentence so it has a weird French sentence. My French is no good enough to critique on it's nativeness though

Because sponsoring an employment based GC takes considerably more time than filling for an H1B. We're talking at best less than a year for an H1B (filling in April and you receive it in October of the same year) vs 18 months minimum for an European (10+ years for an Indian).
I actually got my H1B at my 2nd try. I did not get pick at my 1st try and had to wait until next year but it went quite smoothly.
However for my GC, it took 4 years between the initial conversation with my employer and getting it in my hands. The actual process itself, from the moment the lawyers received all the documents, took 2 years.
I'm not an immigration lawyer but you don't need to have the GC in hands to start working for your employer. You usually get a work permit quickly after the petition is filed.
I used to work with someone whose visa was about to expire so the company just filed a GC to keep her.
That being said, I feel like these things change all the time. When people describe the current H1B process it always seems completely different from the one I went through.
The work permit (I-765) does not allow you to enter the US, only to work when already legally in the country (for example, via an H-1B). And neither does the re-entry permit / advance parole (I-131) let you enter, unless you obtain it while in the US.
And those documents can anyway only be applied if already in the country, and once your I-485 is current and I-140 is approved, which for Indians/Chinese/Filipinos means a >10 year wait, and for everyone else means a >1 year wait while PWD, PERM and I-140 process. Large companies can shorten the PWD/PERM wait a bit, but that does little for the backlogged countries and those not already inside the US.
There is no _realistic_ employment based path to a greencard that does not go through a non-immigrant visa.
Also, the work permit processing times have been extremely backlogged over the past year. It is getting better, but I have personally seen a greencard arrive after about a year recently, and the corresponding work permit arrive a week _later_ (useless, by then).
And if you look at large scale statistics available in immigrant communities, you can see approvals are all over the place, with no rhyme or reasons - some people get it in months, for some it takes years. There is no predictability.
> and for everyone else means a >1 year wait while PWD, PERM and I-140 process.
Filed I-485 in 2020. Still pending. It's currently way more than one year. Some 2022 filers are getting it in a matter of months, but older applications are taking forever.

H1B allows one to work, by itself. If you get a I-765(aka EAD) and you use that, you immediately lose your H1B status. Which is fine as long as your application is pending. If your I-485 subsequently gets denied, you have to leave and you just lost your shot. Game over. You have to start again from scratch. Assuming you didn't incur in too much unauthorized stay, as you'll get hit with retroactive unauthorized stay.
Most H1B holders do not use their EAD because of that. Note that it's different from the EAD you get as a L2 (spouse of L1). That one doesn't mess with your status. Unless you get EAD pursuant to your green card application. That one messes with your status.
Same with advance parole. H and L visas don't need that to travel.
You can get your H1B status back if you file for an extension.
And even then there are always more caveats of course. For example, while as you say H-1B's generally don't rely on EAD/AP, H visas are 6 years and can be renewed indefinitely once I-140 is approved, whereas L visas are hard capped at 5-6 years. This means there is serious risk for someone on an L visa to max out their visa and end up being forced to rely on the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP). With all the problems that brings. This can easily happen if just a few things go wrong (e.g. during the PERM stage - hiring freezes, PERM audits, random covid fallout like legal uncertainty around how notice posting requirements interact with company wide work from home...). That is one reason why many L-1's like to play the H-1B lottery every year.
What would be cool is if we could run some kind of jobs in a docker container on those instances with the nvidia drivers pre-installed.
What I mean is I prepare a container, I go to tensordock and start my container with some parameter. Tensordock prepares an instance in the background for me, run the container and stop the instance once the container stop.
Oh yes! Our standard Ubuntu 18/20 OS images have nvidia-driver-515 + Docker + NVIDIA-Docker2 preinstalled. The all three ML images also come with CUDA if you need that. We'll probably add cloudinit support sometime so that you'll be able to script background workloads that autoshutdown the VM once completed, but at the moment, you'd have to manually SSH into your VM and run it...
Pretty cool! I have a project I'm about to launch and I was preparing it for GCP but it would be way cheaper to run it on Tensordock. Plus, I don't need crazy powerful GPU, the RTX4000 are perfect for my usage. Signing up right now and I'll try it this weekend.
Same as you. The language looks nice but despite having tried Elixir multiple times this past 4 years, the tooling and lack of Jetbrains support always makes me stop and run back to Ruby.
Funny. I'm working on a specific issue with GCP GKE Autopilot. I'm running a bunch of workloads every day with 1 pod per client. Each pod has various running time and I wanted to know the pod cost per client.
I tried to use Kubecost but could not find any option at all to do what I wanted. My labels never appeared on the Kubecost UI. It's funny now to see an article about labels knowing that Kubecost itself doesn't seem to support them.
Kubecost fully supports labels by default-- however until recent versions we relied on kube-state-metrics for that data, which requires users to whitelist the labels they want to see. If you upgrade to our latest version, I'd be surprised if this still wasn't working for you. Once you've upgraded, you can reach out to [email protected] if labels still aren't appearing or me personally [email protected] and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot.
