Do you have a static IPv4, presumably a single IP? I find it useful, mine does change periodically, but I just have a script that Updates DNS when it changes: nsupdate -v -y "${KEY_ALGO}:${KEY_NAME}:${KEY_SECRET}" <<EOF

No, but they can skip the socket, much like many of the mini-pcs/SFFs that include laptop chips in small desktops. Strix halo already doubled the memory channels and the next gen is supposedly going to move the memory bus from 256 bit

Nice first approximation. The cloth has no momentum, a piece of cloth that clearly would swing down, past vertical, and then swing up just damps down and stops at vertical. Also the falling pieces don't accelerate downward, which look

Just because it's not perfect, does not mean it useless. A central signal message service receives millions of messages, I've seen claims of 40M active users a month. If each user sends 25 messages a day, that's 12,000 ish a

Signal seems pretty good, not sure it could be better and have evolved so quickly and gained so many users. Sure it could be more resistant to traffic analysis. What do you use? I've pondered writing a p2p client that uses the signal

Right, but 1€ isn't free. So if you manage to spam 1M people and make less than $0.05 * 1M = $50,000 then you are losing money. Thus no spam on signal.

Wow, that's a pretty negative take. Signals mission seems to be something along the lines of helping the most people increase their privacy. Better to help millions resist the dragnet of surveillance by ISPs, governments, and large or

The network issue is the windows driver, only relevant if you are running windows. There is a work around by pinning the old version and I believe there's a new driver that works, but isn't the final driver. Several reviewers hav

I got my framework desktop a few weeks ago, I'm quite fond of it.

What's worse is that the email is often delayed at the sender (cheap bulk email services) or the receiver (gray listing), but for no reason I can fathom have a short expiration date. What's worse they are often unique AND delivere

Only if you are in a hurry, say an advanced civilization has been around for 1M years (0.07% faster than us). It might well be worth sending out millions of drones to the most promising areas at 1% of the speed of light, their advanced se

send 1 a day, that way you only have to communicate to the nearest probe.

by sliken 1y ago
The launch system isn't consumed by launch, so launch them as often as necessary to keep the communications gap as small as needed. Not like a 1 gram probe is going to be expensive compared to the launch system.

Dunno, training maybe, for inference pytorch and llama seem more important.

Great justification for switching to Graphene OS, more secure, more control, and google has to ask permission to install things and the play store is optional.

Right, but the system needed maintenance, and people would still need to ration water and not water their lawns, even if the water they sell to outsiders (less than 1%) stopped.

From the article is sounds more like, some town folk don't like not being able to water their lawns. Said folks targeted the people buying water, despite them being less than 1% of the water used. Not to mention apparently they are p

24TB drives are quite available, $300 on newegg. Buy a Data60 (60 disk chassis), add 60 drives. Buy a 1U server (2 for redundancy). I'd recommend 5 stripes of 11 drives (55 total) with 5 global spares. Use a RAIDz3 so 8 disks of dat

Ah, interesting. Did you get a ship date? I do like the idea of dual 10G. It would be nice to see a review on how well the GTR9's cooling works and how quiet it is under full load.

Well sort of. Apple makes a competitive mac mini and macbook air with a 128 bit memory interface, decent design, solid build, nice materials, etc starting at $1k. PC laptops can match nearly any aspect, but rarely match the quality of the

Sure, you could. The design would do something like: We need a bigger memory controller. To get more traces to the memory controller We need more pins on the CPU. Now need a bigger CPU package to accommodate the pins. Now we need a motherb

Dunno, nice, quiet, small machine, using standard parts (power supply, motherboard, etc). If you want the high memory bandwidth get the strix halo, if not get any normal PC. Sure apple has the bandwidth as well, and also soldered memory as

Keep scoffing, it's not real end to end ECC, just "link" ecc, which is just part of the chip -> CPU pipeline. So it's not full ECC like servers have with dimms with a multiple of 9 chips with ECC protecting everything

Doubly so when a $650 Epyc motherboard and a $650 Epyc CPU gets you 3x the threadipper's bandwidth and 1.5 the thread ripper pro's bandwidth. Seems like threadripper is too low volume to be price competitive with Epyc and there&#x

by sliken 1y ago
I've been tempted, but had a hard time finding a case where I needed more than the 9950x but less than a single socket epyc. Especially since the epyc motherboards are cheaper, CPUs are cheaper, and the Epycs have 3x the memory bandwi

Across the board, by a large margin? Phoronix ran 200 benchmarks on the 9950x vs 395x max and found a difference of less than 5%. Not bad considering the average power use was 91 watts vs 154 watts. If you need the memory bandwidth the st

More accurately, same amount of ram but accessed in a cache friendly manner with greater locality.

Some older software stacks require static allocation in BIOS, but things are moving pretty quickly and allow dynamic allocation. Newer versions (or patches to) pytorch, ollama, and related, which I think might depend on a newer kernel (6.1

Really? Seems like scaling is pretty tolerant of latency, but very bandwidth intensive. Thus the move from IB to various flavors of ethernet (for AMD's GPUs, Tenstorrent, various others). Not to mention broadcom pushing various 50 a
