  • Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

    For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

    While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.



  • Consumer cards are often actually bigger than the datacenter counterparts.

    Most CPUs and GPUs in a rack just have low profile heat sinks and depend on the chassis to move the air. Since a datacenter doesn’t care about noise the chassis will just have a shot load of fans running full tilt over the fanless components.

    Though when you get up to the large ML cards from AMD for example they have like Kleenex box sized heatsinks on them.
