  1. I just glanced at my uptime and thought back to the 90s when I'd be excited to get through a few days without having to restart my mac. I'm not even trying, bro. The future is awesome

  3. 'For the past four years, a stock market boom has been driven by a single technology, underpinned by one company, driven by just one person, Huang.

    'Nvidia, which began life making chips for computer games, was thrust into the spotlight by an insatiable demand for its product, as the only supplier of the chips that could power the next industrial revolution.

    'Huang not only put himself front and centre of that boom, he has meticulously ensured that no-one else is equipped to run the operation.

    'He, and he alone, has controlled everything from financing to chip design, ruling over his domain with complete authority.

    'Justin Wolfers, the Australian-born professor of economics at the University of Michigan, says Huang's management style has left the company deeply exposed.'

  4. CW: Long post about my regrets buying a Gl.iNet Comet KVM

    Some months back, I purchased a Gl.iNet Comet IPKVM (GL-RM1). I regret this.

    The device itself seems sturdy, solid, well put together, but the software is atrocious and their support is terrible.

    Using the device locally seems to be mostly fine, though to make it work you need to open some specific ports between your subnets if you are using it from a different network. That's fine. Their cloud however... Constant 500 errors, constant timeouts, constant connection resets. On top of that, the public web version requires specific ports be accessible, and most guest networks, even non-guest networks, as a standard of security, blocks all but a handful of outbound ports. (80,443,53,123, etc) which to me means that the purpose of this device is defeated already.

    I have tried reaching out to support about the problems, emailed them 3 times, never heard back, opened chats with them where I was told "We are aware" but given no solution or timeline for a fix. I was also told during those chats that I would receive an e-mail follow up. Have yet to receive that.

    One more thing that I pressed them about... When getting the 400 and 500 pages from their servers, the NGINX version listed is 1.18.0 which is 6 years old at this point and has not been receiving security updates since 2021/04/20. Scary. Every time I brought this up, they ignored the question entirely.

    Needless to say, I am thoroughly disappointed.

  5. “You need to have alternative outside the one provider and more importantly, test it.

    "Because a plan that hasn't been tested is likely to fail during an outage."

  6. What will the Nvidia implosion mean?

    As usual, Ed Zitron is on the case*:

    While my joke here is that the insane circular financing in the AI world has left Nvidia desperately needing customers that can pay hard cash, and since China is the only one around with hard cash, Nvidia desperatly needs to sell chips/cards to China.

    But it's also more complex than that. As always, thanks to Ed for doing the research.

  7. SemiAnalysis*, an extreme AI booster data center hardware site (with an email list) that's occassionally useful for understanding how insane the new AI data centers are, has a new message out titled (drum roll):

    Nvidia and the World Without Jensen.

    The content of this email is (drum roll):

    _completely blank_.

    Yep. That just about says it all.

  9. Given unfettered economical access to the means for distributing information, varied private and public patterns of mediating learning can continue to evolve with changing preferences under whatever guidance advancing knowledge of learning can provide. Otherwise, talk of technology helping learning in a democratic society will be academic in the most pejorative sense of the word.
