OpenAI beta tests SearchGPT search engine
Normally I’m not that interested in reporting on news coming from OpenAI, but today is a little different – the company launched SearchGPT, a search engine that’s supposed to rival Google, but at the same time, they’re also kind of not launching a search engine that’s supposed to rival Google. What? We’re testing SearchGPT, a prototype of new search features designed to combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you … ⌘ Read more

@xuu wow, such a remote place, eh? I imagine you living somewhere in the Himalayas, driving to town once every couple of months to resupply.

Two threads, one core: how simultaneous multithreading works under the hood
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a feature that lets a processor handle instructions from two different threads at the same time. But have you ever wondered how this actually works? How does the processor keep track of two threads and manage its resources between them? In this article, we’re going to break it all down. Understanding the nuts and bolts of SMT will help you decide … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But stuff is still “mostly usable”, isn’t it? It’s not like it became impossible to write a letter because everything has gotten so slow.

That’s what I meant by “absolute” performance: A human being tolerates a system boot up time of 0.5-2 minutes, for example, so there’s an absolute/fixed duration that any task is allowed to take. Boot: 0.5-2 minutes. Opening Word: 1-10 seconds. Saving an image file: 1-10 seconds. Time until the next song starts to play when you click “next track”: 0-5 seconds. Stuff like that. As long as we don’t exceed those durations, people will be more or less happy.

Wasted potential? Ab-so-fucken-lutely.

(Maybe I’m repeating myself. I’m tired. Sorry. 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Uhh, nice. Haven’t seen a sunset like that in a while, I think. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net haha funny! though i just realized my ISP is the only one with fiber pulled to the property so i would have to get a phone line from them some how. The other ISP in the area is basically a mobile hotspot.

Xuu has shutdown his pod now, probably to avoid losing connectivity.

@xuu need a modem? I got a couple of 33.6K, and one 28.8K. :-P

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Can you please check if you reported @xuu’s IP address 162.211.155.2 on mistake and let his ISP know that this was some false alarm? They’re monitoring his traffic to your server and treating this as continued abuse. :-(

(His twts have been synced to your yarnd by yarnd’s gossip protocol.)

We received the abuse report below regarding network abuse from the IP address indicated.
On researching I see that HTTPS (tcp 443) traffic is continuing and originating from you NAT IP address 100.64.x.x
This was further found to be originating from your firewall/router at 192.168.x.x (MAC D8:58:D7:x:x:x).
This abuse is continuing and constitues a violation of [ISP] Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service.
Please take action to identify the source of the abuse and prevent it from continuing.
Failure to stop the abuse may result in suspension or cancellation of service.

Thank you,

@xuu wow, not cool.

he emailed my ISP about causing logging abuse. This is the only real ISP in my area, its gonna basically send me back to dialup.

@xuu For what reason?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Just making sure you’re seeing @xuu’s twt, in case he’s still on your blacklist:

But so far nothing much… Still running the search…

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci my /tmp is fine now, no avatars there. I have to drive my daughter to a birthday party now, but I keep things running and I’ll check when I get back.

Out of interest, are you able to block whole ASN(s)? I blocked the entirely of teh AWS and Facebook ASN(s) recently.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Oh 🤣 Well my IP is a known subnet and static, so if you need to know what it is, Email me 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Seems to be okay now hmmm

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmm I can see your twts on my pod now 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Sweet, thank you! I’ve been shooting myself in the foot over here and want to make sure the situation is getting fixed!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci yeah I can see it :)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net testing 1 2 3 can either of you see this?

Hmm, I wonder if I banned too many IPs and caused these issues for myself 😆

twts are taking a very long time to post from yarn after the latest upgrade. Like a good 60 seconds.
