This man is a true poet, just beautiful look at this quote found on his exTwitter:
(quote starts here)
"""Writing this date here to memorize when the concept of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (#DAI) got its final shape.
Not bullshit like "It runs on a #blockchain so it must be decentralized". In this concept each entity holds a secret know-how which modifies #IntelligentTissue (in cooperation with other know-hows owned by other entities, if needs to solve a complex task). Secrecy of each know-how ensures nobody can copy it, others can only attempt to create something similar by spending computational resources.
Each #AI is an original object, #IntelligentTissue is its hologram. #Qubic is the platform for AI creation, their convergence and intelligent tissue hosting"""
Our company was scammed (invoice scam) and talking to police it’s actually easy. They transfer it to another local bank account (normally stolen), then immediately transfer it overseas. At that point it’s more or less gone.
Depends on what country it goes to. Transfer to major first world countries and the money is still easy to trace. Transfer to Russia and you can't trace it
Geopolitics are still in play. Why would a country that has been hammered with "Western" sanctions, and is effectively engaged in a proxy war against the "West" cooperate with the "West" when it comes to law enforcement?
* Australia is part of the "West" here - ironic from a strictly geographic perspective
That is true. I wonder though, if Russian citizens do this in the US, then there is not going to be anything done about it? What if it is an American citizen? I do not expect them to be able to spend it in the US (but I may be wrong). Would they just go to Russia or somewhere else and then use the money from those bank accounts overseas and start a new life, or what? I am just trying to imagine the scenario. I have watched The Wolf of Wall Street which was quite good. I wonder how it would usually go today, and how people get away with it, because one would think today it is not easy to get away with it. I imagine if I were to scam someone, I would get in legal troubles here, in Hungary, even if I were to send it to a bank account somewhere else in another country, is this an incorrect assumption?
I am going off-topic here, because Australia is in question here, so perhaps replace my use of "US" with Australia and "American" with "Australian".
It is called money laundering. Happens all the time. when it is an American (or Australian, German...) they just have multiple accounts in Russia and transfer the money around in Russia a bit before bring it back. You often lose a significant amount of money in this process.
There is only so much you can do - you kick them out for everything and thus further cutoff the country and that in turn means you have less influence in the future.
I love love caddy. I only use it for my homelab to get https everywhere, but it’s so much easier than traefik for me I honestly don’t know why everyone prefers it? What am I missing?
I never really use the app other than when building system which was hit or miss. But pleas make it work accross vlans without having to run seperate services to handle it!
I put an a360 Card into an old machine I turned into a plex server. It turned it into a transcoding powerhouse. I can do multiple indepdent streams now without it skipping a beat. Price-performance ratio was off the chart
My 7950X3Ds GPU does 4k HDR (33Mb/s) to 1080p at 40fps (proxmox, jellyfin). If these GPUs would support SR-IOV I would grab one for transcoding and GPU accelerated remote desktop.
Untouched video (star wars 8) 4k HDR (60Mb/s) to 1080p at 28fps
All first gen arc gpus share the same video encoder/decoder, including the sub-$100 A310, that can handle four (I haven't tested more than two) simultaneous 4k HDR -> 1080p AV1 transcodes at high bitrate with tone mapping while using 12-15W of power.
Any idea how that compares to Apple Silicon for that job? I bought the $599 MacBook Air with M1 as my plex server for this reason. Transcodes 4k HEVC and doesn’t even need a fan. Sips watts.
Amazing. It is the first time I have plugged any gpu into my linux box and have it just work. I am never going back to anything else. My main computer uses an a750, and my jellyfin server uses an a310.
No issues with linux. The server did not like the a310, but that is because it is an old dell t430 and it is unsupported hardware. The only thing I had to do was to tweak the fan curve so that it stopped going full tilt.
A not inconsequential possibility is that both the iGPU and dGPU are sharing the transcoding workload, rather than the dGPU replacing the iGPU. It's a fairly forgotten feature of Intel Arc, but I don't blame anyone because the help articles are dusty to say the least.
We could start by at least processing our own steel (we still process some, but not nearly as much as we used to). Newcastle Steelworks, just north of Sydney, was back in the day one of the biggest in the world, but it closed down in the 90s. Nowadays, we ship iron ore (our number 1 export) to China, and literally ship that same material back to Australia as steel. Insane!
Yep, just add the channels to a text file and itll download them for you and keep them up to date. Put the script into crontab. Zero running processes and only a couple of KB on disk. That's as Lightweight as you can get.
I have tried but it’s really taxing. A lot of the videos are like daily podcasts or whatever and it’s a battle to get them to import correctly, with correct naming, etc.
I know. I know. Im hoping they secure it somehow without crippling it.
But honestly, it’s like it was designed for the way I work. I dont have a trillion tabs open any more.
I run multiple projects at once plus personal stuff throughout the day. Really really poor project management. But now I just go about what I’m doing and can pickup where I left off.
Literal use case: I was writing a report for a client and had done a bunch of research on a topic, then got distracted as I remembered I needed to upgrade the homelab and wanted new unifi gear. Then got back on another project where I needed provide a summary of similar other projects we had worked on.
So after I finished the last task, I quickly pulled up the research where and where I was at, it even found items I didn’t notice initially. Then at a day later I was able to pull up all the spec sites, reddit posts and recommendations and shopping sites I found for the cheapest place to buy my new gear.
