- Comment on Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection? 5 months ago:
You forget that nation-states control your ISP. And of course you can choose your VPN provider or run your own.

A free running cellular automaton (CA) approach in hardware would work, but each cell would be a much souped up SRAM cell, the interactions would be all local and 2D. Considering Cerebras is 40 G SRAM on the 300 mm WSI and is about at the cooling limit I’m afraid you do not have 5 orders of magnitude. Perhaps reversible spintronics can help with the power draw, but you still have to splat a higher dimensional network so not just local interactions into a 2D array.

Yes orders of magnitude, but not too many of them. The real estate of a 300 mm wafer is limited, the structure shrink is saturating and you can’t get too many layers. You still need a packet switched network on the wafer even if the rest is mostly analog. Perhaps spintronics can limit the power requirements too.

There are diminishing returns in semiconductor photolitho. Moore scaling is long over, absolute real estate see WSI with Cerebras, DC costs and power envelope are all sending a clear message. Quantization is there, so you can go from digital multipliers to analog and go spiking networks, but transformers and Co have little power there.
Also, the kind of economy that can carry Gen AI as business model is not a given, long term.
- Comment on Powerspout + solar + battery = the perfect combination. 5 months ago:
Neat. At 750 Wp I wonder what the EROEI of the installation is.

You can run your own instance or join a permissive instance.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Anyone can make a Lemmy instance with the equivalent. And some instances will defederate from it.

We’re kinda using it right now. Strange how all the good things that persist are community efforts, huh? Makes you really think.

Why? Did something happen to all the volunteer mods? I wonder what it could have been.
