I have been playing with routing tables. I have a few virtual machines around the globe that have full BGP routing tables and that gives me great IP -> ASN details. That means someone comes into a server and that might get redirected to as1221.my2026.example.com but that is a virtual web server with a few hundred thousands others. Everything nice and fast until there is a problem. Once that hits, that ASN gets redirected to the slow scrape box.

Also there is ipasn.net created at APNic. host -t txt 8.8.8.8.ipasn.net gives ownership of the block and other details involving things like its Route PKI status. It is part of their lab so I'm not sure how much traffic it can cope with.

Our AI which is nothing like a brain or neural network, but we're going to tell you they are even though no one knows how a brain functions. I begin to think these guys are drinking the kool-aid.

So if someone posts your image to an Instagram account without your permission Meta suddenly owns your likeness and the ability to derive images from it ?
What if you are in media and your image is your income ? Does Meta get to remake the images of "Models" for ads on their platform ?
Will you find your own image in some ad ?

It makes no sense to spend more to tiptoe through costly incremental steps of infrastructure buildout buying stuff you crave to be rid of when you can hop right to the conclusion. Fuel is bad. You use it and then you need more fuel. That's a vulnerability to the fuel supplier, the logistics, the free market for fuel, changing government meddling. Fix it right once without fuel and be done with it for 30 years. It's not like there won't be another problem to solve the next day.

>as they are not allowed to use oil or coal

Or natural gas. No carbon. Carbon fuels amplify the already obscene thermal output by at least 2.5.

Also, none of them is dumb enough to go fission. The time to power is an order of magnitude greater than their expiration date if they don't have it. And their server and power costs are bad enough. They don't need to compound those expenses with the costliest source of energy available.

I wonder if I could use on of my old Kindle displays ? Not that I have or am going to have a steam machine but the concept is really cool. I use my old Gal.Tab3 with their desktop emu now to handle messenger and email when I am gaming.

I've got a Oneplus tab 2 and I love it. When my Galaxy Tab3 died I picked it up for quit a bit cheaper than a comparable Samsung. I really like the active stylus.

NO, NO, NO, JUST NO!!! No one needs to Cmdr Taco in any form, much less naked.

LOL sounds just like this place these days. There are many good reddits still that are well moderated and are home to experts in many fields. Funny but /. used to be like that as well. I don't login very often but the requirement will kill it for me.

Never sounded so good.

The transistors aren't actually smaller. They fit more of them in the same 2 dimensional area by using layers. The layers are the Z dimension. The thermals are an interesting question.

The transistors aren't actually smaller. It's standard in the field to market the next chip generation as a smaller size when they mean equivalent to the new size. In this case the transistors are stacked vertically so looking down you get layers X areal density of the 2 dimensional surface. We don't do this with flash stacks, which now have up to 321 layers and are mapped to 1000+.

The angstrom scale business is marketing fluff to make the density increase understandable to consumers. But this is one of the developments leveraging the Z dimension that are legitimate progress. The Z dimension gives more than just the same chip folded like origami. The net distance traveled by a signal in a cycle can be reduced, which yields massive improvement in performance without additional cost of power/heat.

AI and the American dream...what a fsck'n nightmare.

GoG, ITCH.IO, Zoom and other allow you to download an offline installer. Steam is the LAST place I buy a game from.
