Insurance and health insurance companies must be super interested in this research and its applications.

I'm sure they're also interested in the data. Imagine raising premiums based on conditions they detect from your wearables. That's why it's of utmost importance to secure biometrics data
jeron commented on Anna's Archive: An Update from the Team   annas-archive.org/blog/an... · Posted by u/jerheinze

If efforts like this are to be sustainable in any lasting way, participants need to be cooperative, not parasitic. I agree with the Anna's Archive team, it serves noone to have one of these players in the space hoarding their own collections and not sharing them to other archiving projects, it make the collection extremely vulnerable and at risk of becoming lost knowledge as time goes on.

I disagree with how this is framed. shadow libraries thrive on decentralization, any other servers mirroring a collection is better than no mirrors at all
jeron commented on Perplexity Makes Longshot $34.5B Offer for Chrome   wsj.com/tech/perplexity-m... · Posted by u/eduction

A $14B to $18B dollar company offering an all stock deal worth about 2x as much as its market cap.

This isn't a serious offer, its a publicity stunt. Google would effectively own the entire company short of some mind blowing multiple expansion here.

Watch for Perplexity to be raising money in the next 6 months. But given this stunt it looks like they think their growth is over and they've peaked as a company.

My exact thoughts as well, this “offer” might as well be a cry for Google to take a controlling interest in Perplexity lol
jeron commented on Our $100M Series B   oxide.computer/blog/our-1... · Posted by u/spatulon

I am wondering what they have on Roadmap and if Zen 6 will come. Their AMD EPYC™ 7713P is 4+ years old already. Or is Hardware performance not a main focus for Oxide but Software that came with it?

In 2027 - 2030, We will have 256 Core Zen 7 CPU with PCIe 6.0 or 7.0 SSD and Network. If Liquid Cooling ever come to Oxide we are looking at 5 - 10x the compute power of its current hardware.

Somewhere along the line a Single Oxide Rack would offer enough Compute and Storage for 95% of customers. And whenever I think about having Solaris in every rack just put a smile on my face.

at any rate, I'm looking forward to decommissioned Oxide racks making it into my homelab for pennies on the dollar

jeron commented on We built an air-gapped Jira alternative for regulated industries   plane.so/blog/everything-... · Posted by u/viharkurama
viharkurama · a month ago
After a U.S. federal contractor told us they loved Plane but couldn't use it due to ITAR requirements, we spent 6 months building a truly air-gapped version. No external connections, no license pings, no telemetry, everything runs in complete isolation.

The interesting part: our air-gapped deployment actually runs faster than our SaaS version. Turns out when you eliminate all network latency, things get snappy.

This post covers the technical challenges we solved (supply chain trust, 2GB bundle size, offline licensing) and why regulated industries need alternatives to cloud-only tools like Jira.

this read more like "Do Not Repaste Your MacBook". There's no way this was worth 5 degrees and 100 points in cinbench (sic)

jeron · 2 months ago
i am the perfect target demographic for these mini NASes as I live in a studio apartment, but instead I just bought a decommissioned Nutanix 2U rack server for my homelab. OP claims 120TB is more than he needs, and my data hoarding is headed the opposite direction

Some 15 years ago, A friend of mine said to me "mark my words, Apple will eventually merge OSX with iOS on the iPad". And with every passing keynote since then, it seemed Apple's been inching towards that prophecy, and today, the iPad has become practically a MacBook Air with a touch screen. Unless you were a video editor, programmer who needs resources to compile or a 3D artist, I don't see how you'd need anything other than an iPad.

ipad hardware is a full blown M chip. There's no real hardware limitation that stops the iPad from running macOS, but merging it cannibalizes each product line's sales

it's not particularly novel - The Crew has been out since 2014 and we have 5 different Forza Horizons. I'm sure they just playtested that and moved over Mario Kart IP
