The Clipper chip? Not sure if that's what they had in mind. Nowadays it's maybe just how the NSA has rooms attached to backbone providers like https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy

The E=mc² article is performative art. The origin of it, if I had to guess, was someone saying "moral relativism is evil" then, "all forms of relativism are evil", then "general and special relativity are evil"

I converted an old system to a server, and the WOL was super unreliable (poor mobo support, crappy network, ??). Wound up getting a PiKVM setup for $100 + RPi5 (Geekworm KVM-A8 Kit "PCIe" Version) which works pretty well, if perha

I liked the time when Avi yelled at the director of SETI, Jill Tarter (inspiration for the fictional Ellie Arroway from the movie Contact), whose life's work has been searching for ETs for not searching for ETs in the right way. https

Python actually has type safety though, as you can't do `'1' + 1` like in JS (not that a linter wouldn't scream at you). If I hear another "I compile <insert language> so I know it will work, but you can'

What Americans asked for these fancy "digital images"? I think we should go back to the good ol' days of CORONA where REAL images were captured on REAL film, then dropped out of orbit and caught by planes. Then we can hire WA

GPU memory is all about bandwidth, not latency. DDR5 can do 4-8 GT/s x 64-bit bus per DIMM, so maxing 128 GB/s with a dual memory controller, 512 GB/s with 8x memory controllers on server chips, but GDDR6 can run at twice the

I disagree almost wholeheartedly. One of the easiest ways to help cooling is to spread out the heat load, then you need to sink away less thermal power from any specific area to keep the max temperature under whatever limit. The article see
