It seems it will still be limited by its linguistic understanding of the surrounding context, at least in the first chicken sandwich picture.
Although its interpretation could make some sense but is also mostly wrong if talking about physical size of a modern GPU's main processor compared to the size of the associated VRAM chips. It has missed the joke entirely as far as I am aware. I think the joke is actual about Nvidia's handling of product segmentation, selling massive processors with less memory than is reasonable to pair them with on their consumer gaming offerings, while loading up the nearly identical chips with more memory for scientific and compute applications...
I recently discovered that using the Verizon website on Firefox is pretty much impossible, it similarly has nightmarish login/account issues. Whatever issue the browser has with the site even managed to break their new account flow on two installations I've had done in recent months. The installation and appointments were scheduled and performed, but nobody in their support teams can find either account in their systems and I have not received a bill.
1Gb symmetric at both locations in NYC though and a free Xbox One S and $300 Visa giftcard.
They have essentially paid me to use them as my ISP, and contact from their support teams attempting to figure it out is getting increasingly infrequent
The recovery teams goal was to sink the booster even if it touched down safely. Their plan was to quite literally shoot it with small-arms until it took on enough water to sink. This is a documented best-case outcome for the launch. There were no plans to recover anything other than data
You know what this means... there was some dude in a boat this morning who was very disappointed he didn't get to shoot holes in a rocket. I would pay lots of money to have that job.
You would think this, but one wrong move and its all gone. In the process of migrating away from GSuite for my personal domain/email hosting, my had-already-existed-prior-to-GSuite google account was closed., unrecoverably as far as I can tell. I lost a literal lifetimes worth of school and personal work that I had naively assumed was safe, and of course there is no actual support available to a one man closed GSuite account.
In my experience, separating whites (not only so they can be bleached when wanted) from darks from colors is definitely still necessary?
I actually turned a beige sweater that snuck into the wrong load beige-blue just yesterday with a pair of AG Jeans that have been washed every other week since I got them two years ago
You probably already know of him, but you should check out BPS Space on youtube if you enjoy long-form video edutainment. Much like Tim Dodd, Joe makes videos full of detail and information about topics he is clearly passionate about. In the case of BPS Space that is pushing the limits of amateur rocketry in a uniquely hacker/programmer friendly manor.
It was super fun to bring together lots of different disciplines and skills. 3D printing, software, soldering, circuit design, simulation etc.
Ultimately, I got so obsessed with it I got burned out and had to take a break for a bit but came back fresh and finished it. Did a few flights over the year with more and more interesting things culminating in a dual stage flight. I've still got the rocket ready to go anytime. Just gotta wait for the weather to clear up.
These small boxes make for great homelab servers. I use a Topton box from AliExpress[1] as a router/VM/container host and love it. It has an iGPU in case SHTF, and 4 individual 2.5GB Ethernet ports. The only thing it really lacks is out of band management.
Run pfsense/opn in a VM, plug in WAN/AP/NAS/Desktop and you have a lightning fast network/development lab (by home use standards at least).
Even if you were not planning on using it as a lab, one of these kinds of boxes and a strong AP beats out even the high-end consumer focused routers all in ones without breaking a sweat at ~50W
A long time ago I ran a rack-mount Dell R710 with an external disk shelf. It drew ~600W from what I remember and had a fraction of the power
Even if you want to do 25gbit + you are still better off building a custom pc [1] than buying any dedicated routing hw. At least right now they are still very loud and cost way more. Plus as you said you can use it as a vm host for all kinds of stuff.
Depends what exactly you want to do with the traffic. NAT v4 out to the internet at 25G? Yeah, nothing is going to beat the price for performance of a software box. Route+switch your home lab at 25G? You can get a 4 port 100G (up to 16 ports of 25G via breakout) line rate hardware offloaded performance using a $700 MikroTik switch which runs pretty damn quiet (and you can always throw in Noctuas if you really want it dead silent).
I am so jealous of your ISP situation! I’ve got symmetric gigabit from Verizon FiOS, which is great for what it is, but there is zero roadmap to anything faster in the US.
You can look at commercial offerings, but they charge way more for much less speed on a dedicated line. The cable folks are bragging that they hit 10Gbit in the lab, but no indication of when they will actually sell that. 25G is a fantasy.
The only reason we have this is because the people of the city voted for requiring every home to have fiber. It cost a lot of tax payer money but now the infrastructure exists and is run by the state owned power/phone company. Any private provider can use the infrastructure to offer what ever they want and since the fiber has no real limit on speed, it just depends on what's attached to the ends. Every home has 4 (usually 2 terminated) strands p2p directly to the POP.
There has been on going battle in the courts because the state owned phone company started using p2mp fiber connections for new runs which limit the maximum speed to what ever hardware they have installed in the split. However they have now backed off because it looks like the state will rule against them as it is anti-competitive. Also requires power for the split which is not very green all because they save around USD 50 per link.
So it isn't all roses and takes effort by the people but if you ever get the chance to vote on municipal fiber/infrastructure do it. Even here in Switzerland we have a lot of people who do not understand this and it took a lot of effort. They are even defending the phone companies use of p2mp.
Thanks for sharing! I agree that publicly-owned, privately-operate fiber to the home network is currently the gold standard. The Baby Bells are lobbying hard for regulatory barriers to this[0] but there are some success stories like Chattanooga [1].
I'm definitely interested to support these efforts. Wireless Wide Area Networks are not gonna cut it. If we get the baseline up to 10g, all sorts of new applications and architectures will be feasible.
I definitely agree about using boxes like the one being reviewed here as mini homelab servers, but I tend to prefer the actual router be a separate device. For one thing, the ASRock box only has a single Ethernet port, which isn't ideal for a router (yes, you can use a managed switch and VLANs to make it work, but that's not always optimal either). I think there's also value in keeping your router separate from a reliability and security standpoint. I use a box similar to the ASRock as a VM server and a fitlet[1] as a dedicated router running Opnsense. Tiny homelab footprint and super reliable so far.
… but you are comparing a reasonably priced Chinese box with multiple LAN (ideal for router) with a $1000 single Ethernet box. Kinda not the same thing.
I like used enterprise level small factor PCs for home server. Lots of cheap parts on eBay, decent performance and low TDP. For example, HP EliteDesk 800 series.
Intel has the NUC Extremes which offer a full x16 slot in a fairly small footprint. The Core of the computer itself looks like a small GPU, and it plugs into a daughter board that acts as a coupler for its two x16 slots.
I think most people throw GPU's in them but I don't see a reason why you couldn't just fit it with a nice NIC
An integrated combination or even a board design offering from either of the two mentioned manufacturers would be awesome and really help bring down the barrier to entry for hobbyists that want to try moonlighting as entrepreneurs
