niobium arsenide may not be a practical replacement for copper – arsenide is toxic, after all
So may it replace, or may it not replace? Title contradicts the closing statement.
Even still, awesome to see more alternatives advancement’s and improvements to synthesis processes. Faster testing is the real breakthrough in this piece.
They could say anything and the visitors would have to believe it. A canyon tour guide tells me a story about why a rock formation is named the way it is. I have no clue if it’s true. But I enjoy it still.
What if you could group multiple of them. Long queries run on the group that’s commonly doing those. Shorter queries que faster because they’ll execute faster.
Will kids raised on it not know anything different? Seems a path to reduce computer literacy. Then again, being blocked from doing something I wanted is what lead me to find ways around said block. But I already had unrestricted access to the system to bend it to my will. Seems like these kinds of systems won’t allow for the user to learn how to works at all. It’s a mystery box.
Because the early adopters are the nerds that will discover how to exploit it, the popularity will make others want to use it, and the normies will take the easy route it gives them since self hosting is hard for them.
Different groups.
The easier/convenient a cloud makes it for a business to use, the more the industry will continue to trend towards lock in
The best way it works is if you have trust with just a few people, and your network availability grows as people connect to more people.
Could even start as a virtual private network of sorts.
I have trust with my friend A. They add. Friend B, who I can only see because I know A. If we have a need to talk to each other, then we can proxy through A.
Don’t know exactly how this scales… it becomes a tor network of sorts. But you actually know the peers chaining your requests together to some degree. You get a bad request, you respond that you don’t want communication with that peer anymore. The message hops back through the chain and each peer decides to drop the route for you.
Each peer has their own rate limits, preventing certain floods from happening. One bad actor floods out from many locations, eventually it all connects back toy eh bad actor. Don’t need a vpn on this network, as you’re already tunneling around through others.
How to handle bot nets would be interesting. Basically as nodes detect bad traffic eventually the word gets around to put those nodes into a high risk status. Owners of those nodes would be able to see they’re being restricted. It’s up to them to stop the bad traffic from coming from their own devices.
This idea is still forming…
My guess would it has to do with find my iPhone and AirTag tracking features.
Imagine someone quietly developing, and then suddenly releasing a modern chip with this kind of design in mind. They’d get a lot of publicity just for being different. And the process would be their own, so if anyone likes it, or there turns out to be any benefits to the design, it would be a while until someone replicates it.
Depends on which part we’re betting on survive the bubble pop. There’s a lot of capability being dismissed in low power inference while the large players push they need more money for large inference. After the pop people will start realizing how much benefit we can get without needing to create a Dyson sphere. More power is needed for continued major progress, but little power is needed for what’s going to stabilize as the normal use 95% of people need. Businesses will be users of the pricey inferences.
Only time will tell how things really play out. But these are my predictions as of today.
If the graphics aren’t adding to the fun and freshness of the game, nearly. Rewatching old movies over seeing new ones is already a trend. Video games are a ripe genre for this already.
I’m thinking more procedural generation of assets. If done efficiently enough, a game could generate its assets on the fly, and plan for future areas of exploration. It doesn’t have to be rerendered every time the player moves around. Just once, then it’s cached until it’s not needed anymore.
I’ve got a cd player and burner, record player may be more niche. But I’m all for it, and I’ve been working on gathering my music locally again. I’ve had other songs disappear from my cloud playlists for reasons I can’t find answers to. I’d rather be able to buy it digitally, honestly. but to support artists I like I’ll do what I can, and most of them still make cds or records of their new albums. EDM and other electronic music has been harder, especially since many of these djs release more singles than they do full albums.
It is harder than it was 20 years ago for sure. But not totally gone yet! And I do feel like it’s making a slow come back in some ways.
I used to buy movies before I ripped them too. But now physical copies of those are becoming harder to get.
People must choose to avoid it. I’m currently on this path. I prefer to use web versions of apps I need access too. If there is no web version, it’s most likely a service I don’t need anyway. My phone is slowly turning back into just a phone with a web browser.
Imagine though, making this much smaller, and selling ram sticks with this inside. Wouldn’t get into businesses much, but it would wreck havoc on everyone else.
Except government services want people to be dependent on them. Doesn’t mean they desire to actually help them. But the government wants to be wanted.
Will putty ever reach 1.0?
I still have streaming services, mostly because my family uses them. I’m slowly getting back into the self hosted ways. But it’s also pushing me to just stop watching altogether. I’m finding better ways to spend my time than in front of a tv. Or rather, I guess I’m spending it more behind a computer screen. Haha
Tesla tweeted about the video, saying, “This is fake – that’s not our screen. Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely.”
I think the “does not” stands out to me more than “can not”. I’d rather keep my dumb car knowing it can’t be disabled remotely at all without something like an emp.
I’ll add to this, no politician is on your side unless it means getting your vote to keep them in power. It’s hard to be an actual good person and get too far up in politics, especially in today’s environment.
So, yes, I believe they both want tracking to exist, because they both benefit massively from it.
If local storage becomes too cheap, how can companies push their cloud storage subscriptions? Imho it’s sad that ssds haven’t gotten much bigger. A spinning disk can now house dozens of tb. If 8tb can fit on an m.2, it could feasibly fit even more into an SSD form factor. Not as fast as nvme, but still faster and somewhat more resilient than hdds. I have a strong desire for ssds like this… but my only option is super expensive u.2, and I don’t need it to be that crazy fast. Just faster and smaller than hdd would suffice
The hard part is these workers are doing the job to survive life. Without the job, the unsure future is terrifying.
I’m all for taking action. I just don’t know what action best suits my needs, other than finding a new job or starting my own business and hoping I don’t become one of the greedy ones too.
I’ll just give up on them altogether, and patiently wait for simulators I can use instead.
Depends on you and your friends. My group does this regularly.
Was likely or was definitely? I feel like this is one of those things where if we have access to “raw” data it becomes easier to say if this data appears modified or not.
I wonder if under-regulated pesticide and herbicide use is slowly contaminating these areas, as the water that occasionally makes its way to these areas becomes more contaminated by man made chemicals. I know it’s only more recently being discovered that these things are causing diseases in humans. Not a far stretch to say it also affects plants and other animals in ways we can’t predict.
This was a fun read. Being experienced in various methods of self hosting, it was cool to learn of coolify. Seeing more people get into self hosting always makes me happy.
Oh my god. Just press for laws to be adjusted so we can have longer trucks already. It’s way more efficient, especially than using two trucks when one truck would do the job. You’ve got all this technology adding point of failures and additional cost to operate. You can use an advanced computer system to drive a second trailer, or just hitch them together and no extra tech needed
Advanced facial recognition for one. College students recently did an experiment where they could scan a face and find a lot of publicly available information about people. Imagine the stores of data the gov has they don’t talk about.
This my own conspiracy theory, but I theorize the anti-mask movement was started specifically to prevent masking from ever becoming normalized.
Going through this now in my job. This was a great reminder that I’m not alone in all of this. It’s funny how easy it can be to feel like I’m the only one that’s struggling.
And it’s true about the “fuck yous”. It instantly reminded me of an old coworker that was let go and was trying to joke about it, but the F U sticks aside from anything else he accomplished while there.
