I actually worked with Major back when he initially created icanhazip.com. It's still my go-to for resolving my public IP for scripts that need it. (IE. hand rolled DNS for my home lab k8s cluster).

Given all the hype around this model, makes me wonder if it requires an entire NVL72 rack to run it.

I find it somewhat ironic that this seems to have been posted by a literal blogspam bot.

The biggest hurdle would be cracking the hardware/secure-boot. I don't think it's been done. Google is your friend.

I'm sure that's totally going to help OCI's reliability. And Ashburn won't die for 3 straight days again, like it did this week.

This is such a dumb concept and likely exists entirely to wow investors. A single AI server with 8 GPUs produces something like 7000 watts of heat, if not more. And likewise, will require at least that much power. Sure, solar is "free" once you've got the panels in space. The real killer though is dissipating all that heat. Obviously, there's no atmosphere in space to transfer heat to. Your only option is purely IR radiation which is significantly less efficient. To put this in context, the ISS's heat dissipation system can dissipate about 14,000 watts. Ignoring all of the other infra that goes into a data-center, that would be two servers. You add all this up, the mass of the supporting infrastructure would far out-weigh the actual servers. And the economies of satellites and rocket launches comes down to mass.

Why are AI agents on the org chart? That's odd and sketchy. Seems like it could be some sort of fraud to pad numbers.

I've got a Haltec V4 running on battery/solar as a rooftop node. It's got a 10ah battery, but it's solar panel came loose and is currently very poorly aligned. On a cloudy set of days, it drops to about 80%. That said, I had to disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to do it. So really, not using ESP32 features, just it's 1W transmitter. My dedicated MQTT node is also ESP32, with Wi-Fi enabled, but it's constantly plugged in.

Yea, after reading the article, this is an overall of the electronic application process that needs to happen before entry. And it'll include not just social media handles, but also email addresses. Seems reasonably easy for a "bad guy" to skirt.

Honestly, I suspect this is a sneaky way to get CBP access to what ever data sharing shit the social media companies have with the rest of the spooks. Simply by attempting to enter the US someone "agrees" to an automatic search of their social data.

It's probably because entry for Canadians is specified by a different program. Even the State Department website seems to exclude Canada from the VWP.
