“He (#PeterDutton) cites #DataCentres in the US where those #tech companies are having conversations with nuclear power providers:

The beauty of an #investment like #nuclear into the #Hunter region for example is you can attract the data centres which is exactly what is happening in the US. #Apple and #Oracle and #Microsoft, or these #companies are willing to spend tens of billions of dollars but they are only having conversations with #NuclearPower providers.”

#Straya gov cant #science or #compute, the LNP are garbage at business. Nuclear generation is #toxic. #Multinationals avoid tax.

“Elon Musk said on Friday (Saturday AEDT) that his #xAI has acquired X, the social media app formerly known as #Twitter, in an all-stock transaction for $US45 billion ($71.5 billion), including debt.

xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the #data, #models, #compute, #distribution and #talent,” #Musk said in a post on X, adding that the combined company would be valued at $US80 billion.”

As Paris welcomes the world for the AI Summit, I am thrilled to be here and participating in #IASEAI25 over the next two days. Drop me a line if you are also in town and would like to connect on all things #AI #natsec and #semiconductors / #compute. And if you were unable to attend in person, consider catching a few of the talks virtually. Details below. iaseai.org/conference/livestre

Hey, all you #selfhosting #nerds out there! We need you and your #bandwidth. If you have some spare #compute and #network capacity please consider setting up an #ArchiveTeam #Warrior #virtualmachine or #Docker image. There's an official #project to #backup the #US #government's data. If you already have a warrior appliance running, consider setting the active project to #USGovernment

@duco @alexis_roussel what makes #Bitcoin the real #shitcoin (along with basically everything that isn't #Monero) is that it's not only #PoW (#ProofOfWork) but also basically #ASIC-based, so that means literal metric tons of #eWaste get created every year producing those.

@LibreKitsune I still consider this a hostile act and a blatant violation of their previous #settlement that forced them into #publishing said #IPv4 #ranges...

  • In fact had they not actively worked against that previously and it only raised my attention when I saw errors re: said ranges.

I'm considering to build a #workaround on #GitHub to just use a #cookie and some #compute to do it, but if I had cash to spare I'd sue them into removing #ClownFlare and allowing me to scrape the list directly...

  • I'm very close to just sending them an #invoice for the personnel hours wasted on that bs and billing them regularly for the expense of manually checking the difference between those (@ minimum of 60:15 billable minutes)...

Otherwise I do expect regulators to actually go after #OpenAI and force them to undo the #Cloudflare-based #Enshittification, since it's neither feasible nor reasonable to claim "#DDoS-#Protection" for a 48 Bytes (!!!) file...

  • Every #WAF / #WebApplicationFirewall I know would not get triggered even if I were to query it once per hour (which I now do just to annoy them or rather ClownFlare!...

@uastronomer it's something I.did implement in the past (abeit #KVM + #Proxmox, but the steps are similar enough):

You can seperate #Storage and #Compute given you have a Storage-LAN that is fast enough (and does at least 9k if not 64k Jumbo Frames) and have the "Compute Nodes" entirely #diskless (booting via #iPXE from the #SAN) and then mount the storage via #iSCSI or #Ceph.

  • Basically it allows you to scale Compute and Storage independently from each other as they are transparent layers and not be confined to limits of a single chassis & it's I/O options...

Did a bigger project (easily 8-digits in hardware, as per MSRP) where a Employer/Client did #CloudExit amidst escalating costs and #ROI being within quarters (if not months at the predicted growth rate)...

Software As A Service 'is one of the most dominant business models in tech, because it fits both the customer profile of "not wanting to run a bunch of infrastructure" and the tech industry’s love of trapping people in distinct ecosystems. […] The inevitable sprawl of letting SaaS into your organization means that you’re stuck with them.'

Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At · The Other BubbleBuried in the 8000 words I wrote last week was a worrying story — that Microsoft considered drastic measures to free up  capacity in its US-based servers for GPUs to power the AI boom.

@REA I would love for the #EU commission to note, that if Europe does not setup it’s own #cloud #infrastructure very soon, we will end up paying rent to either of the two big players: US or China.

You should understand that if they own the computing power, they can at any time change the rules on the kinds of workloads that run on them and how they benefit from it.

For Europe to remain soveign in the #compute -defined future, we need to be sovereign in the cloud.

"AI relies on compute — nanoscopic silicon wafers with tens of billions of transistors. 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors are fabricated in one place — TSMC.(...) In the science fiction novel 'Dune', 'spice' is the most important resource in the universe; in an AI economy, compute is the new spice. Somehow, this tiny tropical island has become Arrakis, sitting on the first faultline of the future — compute."

Michael LaiTaiwan — the island on the faultlines of the future — Michael LaiIn May, I had an unexpectedly amazing time visiting Taiwan for the first time, including meeting long lost family for the first time in 25 years ( post about it here ). I couldn't wait to return. Two weeks ago, I flew back to Taipei. I landed and was immediately picked up by my relatives and enjo
