Quote:There are cries from the heart .. for my friendship, that relationship to another person, to transcend documents and sites. ..Then any other site or program can use that information.It seems appropriate as X is sending cease-and-desist letters to Nitter to remember TBL's essay. Nitter is - was - a simple frontend to X which allows users to view tweets without logging in. Even that small use of proxying to the pages is…

With the backlash to data centers, Flock and AI glasses, a mass opposition to big tech is underway. Silicon Valley is in denial.

With the backlash to data centers, Flock and AI glasses, a mass opposition to big tech is underway. Silicon Valley is in denial.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Just take a second and scan these headlines. Youโ€™ve probably seen many more just like them.Youโ€™re also perhaps familiar with the gist of what that they describe: Americans overwhelmingly hate data centers. They overwhelmingly dislike Flock surveillance cameras. And now it seems they overwhelmingly despise Metaโ€™s newest product, AI-infused Ray Bans that have been widely termed โ€œpervert glasses,โ€ too. Enveloping all of the above trends is a general, percolating dislike of Silicon Valleyโ€™s marquee pursuit, generative AI; a sentiment underscored, again, by a slate…

How we saved 100 terabytes of memory by optimizing 1.1.1.1โ€™s DNS cache

How we saved 100 terabytes of memory by optimizing 1.1.1.1โ€™s DNS cache

๐Ÿš€ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Big Pineapple, the platform behind 1.1.1.1, Gateway DNS, DNS Firewall, AS112, and several other Cloudflare DNS services, stores over 250 billion DNS cache entries at any given time. At that scale, wasting a single byte per entry costs more than 250 gigabytes of memory across our fleet.Five successive changes to how cache entries are stored in memory cut the per-entry footprint by over 50%. Across our fleet, these changes freed up roughly 100 terabytes of memory, equivalent to the amount of RAM in 130 of…

For now, my code compiles, but it is still not a true Mitra-15 simulator; rather, it is a tentative effort. Many thanks to Pascal Chour for the very useful documentation available on his website: https://www.pascalchour.fr/ressources/cii/mitra15.htm As my C is rusty (pun is intended) I started with an existing SDS 940 simulator for SIMH and slowly modified it towards Mitra-15's characteristics. The Mitra-15 is a microcomputer that features interesting concepts, such as the ability to…
