 SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | Well the real issue here is that lol why physical realizations of aterm drvs in the first place | 19:44:03 |

 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Using toJSON calls addToStore on paths before serializing so they’re valid; I guess I could try using unsafeDiscardWhatever before serializing to JSON to see if that’s enough to prevent realization | 01:32:05 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | There was a --read-only flag I had forgotten about | 03:47:47 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Okay, it's way faster now and doesn't need a ramdisk.
Where as previously it would take about 1m40s on my i9-13900k now it's taking about 20s to do
time nix build -L ".#reports.x86_64-linux.pkgs-cuda-post^*" --builders '' --rebuild

| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | For generating a single report htop shows it was taking about 18% of my RAM (less than 20GB) | 03:57:11 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | To clarify, it wasn’t enough to use unsafeDiscardStringContext because the derivation was instantiated as soon as drvPath was evaluated, even before toJSON. Using the read-only argument (which is different than the store URI query parameter of the same name lmao) avoids the instantiating. | 06:54:57 |

| SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | connor (he/him) (UTC-7): ping about azure stuff again | 19:30:18 |
| SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | Hey, we've been getting more experience with infra and hydra now, and I think like ephemeral builders are becoming more and more relevant. May I ask you to elaborate? | 19:34:01 |

| SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | mx250 only? | 19:40:33 |
| Lun | gfx906 is barely cared for by upstream so not sure they'd be great for automated testing
If we have credits that would otherwise go to waste and that's the only option then maybe worth it? | 19:41:00 |
| Lun | gfx90a (MI210/250) is the oldest instinct option upstream seems to actually be paying attention to | 19:41:26 |
| SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | Relatable: azure offers the right hw for us, but I'm not confident we can utilize it efficiently enough yet | 19:44:47 |
