Let me introduce you to the IBM TS4500. You are looking at around $2 per camera for an entire years worth of footage. A single tape library could store a years footage from over 850,000 cameras. Tell me you don't know about long term enterprise storage without telling me don't know. Off the top of my head to have that replicated at two sites for good measure, all in less than $10 million including a couple PB of disk cache.

If you have an 8 way SXM box with H100s then they are *ALL* aircooled. Its fing crazy but Nvidia supply the SXM module and it comes with an integrated heatsink. I have had quotes from all the major vendors at the start of this year and it was surprise to us we assumed we would be able to get direct liquid cooled servers. You can for four way SXM but not eight way.

Military missiles already do this, including using terrain profile and inertial guidance. It is handy to have a GNSS, especially for the start coordinates but it is not necessary to achieve good precision.

The fact that it has to be "upgraded" to Rust 1.77 shows that they are busy hanging themselves already. That is the issue with all these fad languages is the constant maintenance cycle on existing code so you can continue to use it. Python being the worst of the worst in this regard.

Someone needs to write a tender for a sizable GPU system that mandates CUDA support to get AMD's attention.

That sounds complicated. The cheapest form of hydrogen is "white" or natural hydrogen.

Turns out the stuff is in the ground just waiting to be released by drilling for it. It first turned up by accident in 1921 and till now the result has been to simply plug the wells and move on.

In the 1970's when I was staying with my grandparents one summer, Roger Moore who lived opposite had his house burgled. They arrived in removal vans and stripped the place. I remember it quite clearly, everyone thought he was moving.

Working on gas appliances became regulated in the UK as a result of the Ronan Point disaster.

We don't produce steam but they are still called boilers.

In the UK lots of supermarkets are phasing out thick plastic bags now. Personally, I keep a thin ripstop nylon bag in my coat pocket at all times, that way I always have at least one bag on me. I do have a notion of a app my phone that detects I have just got out the car in a supermarket car park and gives me a verbal reminder to take my bags with me.

There are a few options for sshfs like functionality under Windows. Shame really that Microsoft doesn't add it directly to Windows. You now have an SSH client built into the OS, so being able to map a drive using SSH would be the obvious next step.
Not that I use Windows much but as a sysadmin being able to mount a filesystem arbitrarily on a remote server is a massive productivity boost.

GPFS, TSM. TS3500 and on occasion, AIX/pSeries to run it all. Having TSM run on AIX/pSeries to backup everything helps one sleep soundly at night knowing it is going to take a *very* determined hacker to get at my backups and even if they do being on tape it will take a long time to do anything destructive to them.

I record myself reading a book and play it back to my kids.

CDE was open sourced years ago. Takes a bit of hacking to make it work but work it does.

I preferred the OpenLook look over Motif myself but the Sun file manager was frankly awful.

The speed limiter feature is great for when there are average speed cameras about. Set the speed and you don't need to keep checking to make sure you have not drifted over the limit. It is also handy in 20mph zones as it is really hard not to drift over in those.

Wrong acid rain was caused by sulphur in coal. When burnt you get SO2 and this dissolves in rainwater producing sulphuric acid. It was solved by scrubbing the SO2 from the flues of coal plants and then stopping burning coal in the first place.
