I can't watch the video now, I will later this week....but I'm curious about the hardware cost.
Both MVP aka min spec required to fiction and say a more beefy setup....what does the cost of that look like.
I hope we can see the barriers to extry lowered so more people can experiment, just like how the computer became common place in the home or how 3d printing became much more affordable to hackers and makers.
Going to have to go digging to find it though....I think I still have a copy somewhere in my pile of college essays.
But I got tired of 10 gig being slow and I'd like to experiment with ROCM and RDMA, and 400G but those are apparently insanity expensive.
The left and right party have both changed in many ways....make of that what you want.
But if we can't handle opposed viewpoints and opinions without resorting to violence or forcing our ideas on others then we are not being civil but rather pushing other groups that appose ones views towards extremist options like radical stances or violence.
But let's be clear, at a point we would have 10 different identical services all because they each have a specific moral or ethical alignment.
Just like you can benefit from an invention but hate the inventor's personal ideology, so too can you benefit from a writers or coders work and still not agree with their belief or perspectives. That is your right.
But remember, while its OK to dislike someone for X.....its also not an excuse to throw away all that person has to offer.
Plenty of people, artists/writers/philosophers etc have had questionable or distasteful opinions or stances. We can recognise this individually, yet still agree they have made great contributions to society in one form or another.
You can't bring a whole dorm and your closet, but a backpack and a bag for clothes are manageable. I always brought some bags of beef jerky and would watch the scenic view or listen to an audiobook. Just sitting on the train, enjoying my snack and watching nature was a nice way to pass time time.
Also this only focuses on Japanese people from what I understand so the model will not handle other cultures as well.
Nope, instead the corporation gets to use them to advance their tools or also enable a company to hit a competitor with floods of reports.
I trig, and calc 1 yet I hardly remember how to solve most problems because its not something I use regularly.
Same with subnetting or remembering certain programming languages.
I literally don't use these things 99% of the time and so I forget them. Sure I understand some of the basics and I could probably pick it back up way faster than someone who knows nothing but I am human.
Tor has scraping and DDOS concerns just like the regular web does. Heck I would argue that it has a bigger threat of attack mainly due to how isolated it is and how some might want to kill competition or make certain information inaccessible.
Tor and darknet markets have solutions. They don't use a CDN or a solution like cloudflare, but rather they implement openly accessible tools to help block these threats. Tor has a proof of work based method that helps increase the cost of attack. Open source capcha tools exist as well that do a great job at helping reduce the flood of traffic.
The channel is mainly focused on the moon and how it can help humanity in our reaching to the stars.
Also allowing year round unrestricted hunting of these invasive pests would help.
People like guns and they love hunting. Some things they can only hunt at specific times....but if you tell them they could hunt as many as they want year round you would suddenly see a bunch of people figuring out how to hunt a snake with rifles or other weapons.
They don't use cloudlfare AFAIK.
They normally use a puzzle that the website generates, or the use a proof of work based capcha. I've found proof of work good enough out of these two, and it also means that the site owner can run it themselves instead of being reliant on cloudflare and third parties.
NPU's are not anything new, and its shocking we don't have NPU add on cards just like we do for GPU or memory (CXL)
Plenty pretend semiconductors or programming is a non political field where the science and creativity are rewarded, but the truth is both technology are "dual use".
I think programming or people who do a lot of work in cryptography and signals intelligence would know this all to well. What can be seen as scientific or academic curiosity can be seen as a threat to the establishment or a potential tool that the MIC can use.
Hell part of the reason semiconductors have come so far is due to how close they tie into defense and intelligence.
The government has long created rules it imposed on researchers such as the export restrictions on pgp, or on DVD keys, or prosecution of security researchers. This is nothing new for those who have been aware of the general trends.
Intel got money via grants from the chip act and via other governments. Part of the reason they got that money was to help them build the chip fans in the USA and funding research and workforce in other nations. The fact Intel has claimed its slowing construction basically is a full 180° spin and will set them back in manufacturing ability.
Previous CEO strategy was focused on heavy investment in catching up on manufacturing ability. But once you get stuck on a node it becomes expensive to catch up.
New CEO is clearly trying to shed weight. They have let go of a significant % of workforce, stopped certain projects all together, and seem to be basically selling off parts of their technology and assets to keep cashflow positive.
Given the current CEO and his history and connections, plus the US government involvement it looks like a rocky situation.
