It’ll get there quick.
I worked on HPC cpus, scaling up isn’t that hard, the hard part is dealing with your Isa baggage.

The GDPR is one of the regulations that actually seems to help on a daily basis.
23andMe is going bankrupt and now a good part of the US is having their DNA sold to the highest bidder.

Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.
This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they’re 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.
Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.
Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.
Got someone to work with on a new company, so that’s part of this, though my day job relies on this too.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 4 days ago:
Doing that switch soon.
Plex doesn’t do hw accel well, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Same, except the irc, I have a python thing to interface.
Stealing your idea, that sounds awesome.

No, the terrifying part is that we’re letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.
- Comment on 'X' Marks xAI's Spot: xAI has acquired X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. 5 days ago:
He was having trouble refinancing given the massive drop in revenue and valuation.
So just make up a number and buy it off yourself.

The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.
No point anymore.
- Comment on your brain on day 3 of planing a magnetic loop antenna 1 week ago:
… Planing or planning?
- Comment on Hardware-Aware Coding: CPU Architecture Concepts Every Developer Should Know 1 week ago:
Really depends on the target, llvm goes between unrollimg and vectorizing cleanly, to unrollimg to a ludicrous degree, to refusing to unroll period.
Some of it is subtarget specific, but sometimes it’s just weird.
Gcc is evil incarnate, all it’s passes are at war with each other, loop Canon form often broke vectorization and even unrolling period.

- Comment on The internet used to come through the phone, now the phone goes through the internet. 1 week ago:
It actually does, but only very slow, like 2400 baud or so.
Worst case you can do 150baud which is like 2 frequency keying or something.

This is the interesting part!
We Americans believe we are all blessed by the holy aura of freedom and democracy.
These models were trained on 3rd world countries.
Let’s see how far they work, maybe we really are just as weak and corrupt as those we hold in contempt.

The Palantir threat model specifically says only a fringe will put up a fight right now.
There’s a projected line in the sand where people stand up, but so long as you stay on one side, you’re safe, and the scary thing is, you can push that line and it will move.
The plan is to be super aggressive now to move the line, then 12 months from now to act all domestic abuser who regrets it and love bombing to cancel out most of the anger before the midterms.
In their defense, this is exactly how Reagan did it and it worked.
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
The point was that increasing voltage allows more carrying capacity with a square root of the increase in dissipation as increasing current directly.
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
That’s been suggested, the problem is that that requires additional infrastructure, either digging a pit for the battery to be lowered into via elevator, or raising the car in such a way they still have access to the pack.
Former is more likely but digging pits like at oil changes is not cheap either.
Mostly it’s a chicken-egg scenario: nobody will make the facilities until there are cars to use it… And the other way.
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
If there’s literally one place in America we need to throw money at, it’s the electrical grid.
We have a decades out of date power infrastructure, Europe especially has us beat.
Just like electrification originally, and later the internet, increasing power delivery will have benefits for everyone that pay off for centuries .
Mostly we need to make the grid far smarter.
Evs should be allowed to load coordinate with the grid, so they switch on at the optimum times for grid stability in exchange for major discounts on power.
A superload like this one should have to request clearance, then the grid compensates by reducing ‘cheap ev power’ in the area, while also requesting evs configured for v2g to be ready to possibly supply.
The supercharger has a slightly higher cost per kwh to make up for this, but that is the cost of convenience.
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
Fairly unlikely, we engineer things to fail safe.
Even if so we have ways to calculate the power going in and coming out, and if there’s an imbalance kill everything, that’s how gfci and arc fault breakers work.

P=i x v
But also
P=i^2 x r
Power goes up with linearly with voltage but to thw square or I.

This is partisan hackery of the worst kind!
Clearly we are in orbit of a Kerr black hole, whose axial rotation is causing the light to shift according to frame dragging!
Leave it to the blues to assume everyone is moving towards them!!!

The money people are demanding much higher returns, inflation spooked them, but the fact that it’s going down is no reason to not keep squeezing.

I am less certain about Microsoft, though I think they need to have their ass handed to them for their high-handed treatment of push patches.
Either they need to implement staggered deployment by default, or they need to get out of the update deployment business altogether if they don’t want the liability, can’t have it both ways.
We know this didn’t happen, because CS.
