This made me think about running a cheap High Performance Computing service on Hetzner.

Would anyone be interested in such a service? It'd allow you to define (via a Dockerfile) a high performance computing environment, and start it / communicate with it / destroy it via a REST API. Each start would provision a new VM: it'd take 1 minute for the machine to start listening. This would keep costs extremely low.","time":1740220307,"title":"Ask HN: Any interest in cheap High Performance Computing?","type":"story"}],[42542267,{"by":"kaamkiya","descendants":5,"id":42542267,"kids":[42544950,42542301,42544281,42548996],"score":4,"text":"Does anybody here actually use a version control system that's not Git?

I'm a second year in college and I'm really struggling with having a career vision for myself.\nI enjoy many subjects including programming, biology, physics, math, chemistry, medicine, electrical engineering (robotics) and everything in between. I could see myself pursuing any of these fields yet I realize that the US college system essentially guides you to commit to one (or two) fields and get a job.

Some advice I've seriously considered is just reading and learning as much as possible then starting a company when I come across an opportunity [0].

Yet my main qualm with this strategy is lack of job security. I.e., what do I do if the startup fails?

Also, is it worth it to go to graduate school or medical school? How do I decide?

Thank you in advance for any advice and I'd love to clarify if I've been unclear

Thank you
