I guarantee the "median" payout is nowhere near that. The article said the average pay is 158 million won. I bet the median pay is less than half that.

Same. But if I was working for an organization that measured token usage, you can bet I would be doing things like creating a cron job that uses claude to create a customized bespoke report update of the current status of all my open assigned tickets and message that to myself 4 times a day... token burn for zero purpose whatsoever.
seL4 + linux kernel api shims does seem like the most realistic approach to move forward. But the driver + driver API situation seems like the biggest barrier.
A compounding problem is that lots of the key drivers depend on binary blobs provided by the vendors, making updating and porting that much harder. I know there has been some work to have translation layers between "linux driver api surface" --> "other OSs" but that feels problematic to trust & maintain unless it's driven from the linux kernel team itself.
100% agree on this. Even just the flashing on nav menus. Very very common to load an app I'm already signed in to, see the "login / signup" state first, then a loading indicator or skeleton, then the logged in state. Just seems like amateur hour all over the place of people or companies not caring.
The ram is "unified" meaning it's a single shared between CPU and GPU, and it's "on package", meaning the RAM chips are packaged together with the CPU / GPU die, but it's just regular old RAM chips.
I too feel this is a huge part of it, coupled with the fact that "basics" of last generation (a home you own, a stable job that doesn't overwork you on evenings and weekends, affordable options to have a family) are also being priced out of many peoples lives. You feel like you're not matching what your parents and cultural artifacts tell you you should be achieving at your age, and at the same time you're flooded with influencers on ski trips to Japan or snorkelling in Jamaica every other weekend, and it's a perfect recipe for feeling bad about your life no matter how well off you're doing compared to yesterdays median statistic.
It's hard to get a comparable read since you don't get a clean split in the #s between what would be public spending vs. private spending if the US + a "Medicare for All" type system, but including the % of GDP spent in US on healthcare overall, it would put government expenditures as % of GDP on par with most other countries in the world that do provide universal health care:
France certainly has a higher % of expenditure to GDP than other comparable countries, and you would expect the USA health care to GDP % to decline to be more inline with other countries with universal coverage if a national program was introduced.
However, because France is still offering more public social services and benefits overall vs. a "USA + universal health" that it's hard to make broad claims either way about who is wasting more money or which system is more effective for citizens based purely on % of government expenditure to total GDP.
Underrated acquisition. Gives NVIDIA a whole lineup of inference-focused hardware that iirc can retrofit into existing air cooled data centres without needing cooling upgrades. Great hedge against the lower-end $$$-per-watt and watt-per-token competition that has been focused purely at inference.
