In 3.6 years, chances are they are still worth $3k. Unless some new chip fab pops up that can spam the chip market. Even if the AI bubble bursts, I doubt we'll see high-RAM GPUs sell off.

Generally increasing "money supply" will increase the spending floor, which business will eventually use to increase profits, which we read as inflation. (Sorry, I mean they'll do price discovery to optimize corporate ownership benefits.)

As long as the economic system can absorb it (and there are plenty of places with >20% inflation rate that survives,) you're right. But if it makes people feel they have "nothing to lose" on going against the rich, GPs scenario will kick in. Ray Dalio (and the Fourth Turning book) suggests this debt cycle is overstretched, and that we should _expect_ an uprising soon that resets it.

I can't imagine the news headlines the first time a stolen such drone is used in a (civialian) terrorist attack. Dark times ahead. Fear is already driving polarization and class society where I live. This will just heighten it. Hopefully this is swift, and we return to a post-WWII "can-do" build-up society.

If the requester stops applying common sense, the reviewer has to apply more of it, and there's a finite review budget. I will deal with requests on a lowest review effort-first basis, just like you did on the other side.

> I have deployed five AWS m8g.12xlarge instances. Each instance provides:

> 48 vCPUs (Graviton4, ARM64)

> 192 GiB memory (4 GiB per vCPU)

> Network capability: The 22.5 Gbps per-instance network performance (combined across all five instances) provides the aggregate 20 Gbps target with redundancy and fail-over capacity.

Oh wow. Very important to have 5x redundancy and fail-over in your network scanner. Especially before the code has landed. Did it implement A/B upgrades and canarying too to avoid downtime?

Sounds like the default k8s setup every startup deploys to not fail it single digit number of users. It learned from the best

All on the same zone, of course, to avoid high-latency links.

At least it was considerate enough to cap traffic to any single IP at 5000 Mbps :).

Typical DN42 interconnects are 1Gbps with unspecified bandwidth caps. It's not made to carry serious traffic at all. For a real ISP, 5000 Mbps these days is nothing unless it's all concentrated on the same last mile - the smallest links they use are usually now 10Gbps. But DN42 isn't the real internet.

I think the owner wanted 100 Gbps of scan traffic or had set a specific scan-rate target, which determined that bit rate, so the LLM (correctly) predicted it needed all of those to hit the target.

When I read the AWS infrastructure the agent setup I about fell out of my chair laughing.

I mean you can get that for like 300 p/m at hetzner

100Gbps? I don't think so? I'd expect a thousand a month for the adapter and connection, and then around $1.50/TB as per their standard price (including currency conversion and VAT), which is to say, $1.00 per minute of saturated usage.

Just checked it. The connection actually costs almost nothing, under $100/mo, if you have a compatible server, but that's for a private LAN port, and they don't list price for a 100gbps uplink. If I extrapolate 10x the cost of 10gbps that's still only about $600/m all told... Plus $1.50/TB outgoing, of course!

And who knows, maybe the dinosaurs were burping so much they were also starting a global warming.

So instead of freezing operation until the consigned was worked out, they tried to bully their way to success. That's one way to do business.

As a passionate ex-LEGOer, I hope BAM is toast. LEGO now is not a company I care about due to their insane fixation on brands and collectibles rather than making children discover the world. But in that spirit, BAM has shown they're not even a good brand ambassador in this business setting.

> There is no place in all of Zürich to facility such a thing, you will blow out every window in the city at each launch.

While you're right, I'd be more sceptical due to politics. The people around Lake Zürich are up in arms over wind turbines. Even solar panels on mountain sides are too much (though that's hopefully less about noise.) I can't imagine the uproar if someone wanted to fire rocket engines regularly there.

Has TLS been an issue since ESP32? I know ESP8266 had to increase CPU speed to be able to do RSA without timing out the watchdog. Wonderful hack. Didn't think ESP32 had the same issue.

Anyway, the S31 has SHA, AES, ECC, RSA, and ECDSA accelerators, so that should be fine. https://documentation.espressif.com/esp32-s31_datasheet_en.p...

Even at the individual level, yes. I read somewhere recently, can't remember where, that the concept of "I" may have occurred as a consequence of developing the concept of "you", "us" and "them". So being able to have virtual humans in your brain inevitably makes you reserve one of them to represent yourself, and it starts to feel special.
