Also the number of supported users does not scale linearly with the number of CPU cores
US population has grown 25% from the year 2000. Other than Anti AI detection, everything worked on the hardware of 25 years ago. Single core performance has gone up more than 25% over the past 25 years.

“State services” is database lookups and billing. Back in the 90’s, I supported 10k users (1.5k active at any moment) on a Pentium 3 with 512MB of Ram.

An entire state government could run on your phone but requires an entire data center because it’s written in JavaScript that emulates the original COBOL code that ran the government in the 1960’s.

To be fair that’s what America did to England.

The US used to only recognize copyright of ZuS writers. Foreign books were printed without any payments. Charles Dickens didn’t get any money from American publishers who printed his books.

- Comment on This AI App Is Using an AI-Generated Ad to Show How Easy It Is to Generate AI App Slop 2 months ago:
Isn’t that the right thing? If they didn’t use AI, people would be saying “Haha AI app has to use real people.”
It doesn’t mean it isn’t slop though.
- Comment on Microsoft kills Windows Maps app 3 months ago:
I miss Streets and Trips from 2002. All the road maps without any internet needed. The killer feature that I don’t see in any modern apps is that you could click on roads in the trip summary and set the speed limit. So if you were planning a trip you could click on a section of highway that you knew you could speed on and put in the actual speed you’d be driving instead of the speed limit.

Funny they show a toaster. Last year my toaster stopped so I opened it up to fix it. What “broke” was a surface mount IC. I gave up.
- Comment on Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye. 4 months ago:
Only after Musk stops stalking the public. Tesla tracks everywhere you drive. X tracks every website you visit using cookies.
If Musk can know where you are at any moment with a phone call to Tesla, the public should be able to know public plane records.

And to continue that analogy- Twitter didn’t assign the name, the user created it so they hold copyright on the name.

Gee wizz, I don’t think you understand Capitalism at all. Musk gets the profits and you get the liability.
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 8 months ago:
This isn’t the first time this has happened
How about quote from the article where it says they spent $1M just on the Lan party part of the house instead of insults?
I said they didn’t spend $1M. You replied, <sic>“$75k from the article plus custom desks”.
Then you got hostile?
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 8 months ago:
Did you not read?
" The house overall was a 7-digit number"
Nowhere did they say they spent $1 million for the PCs, networking, and custom desks.
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 8 months ago:
Ok, so I was right. The house is a $1m house, not that they spent $1m to make it a lan party house.
- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 8 months ago:
12 gaming PCs networked together for $1,000,000???
I think it’s bad reporting. It’s a $1M house that they spent $100k for a custom game room. No one is that stupid to pay that much for so little.
- Comment on AMD reveal new Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 processors, plus Ryzen AI 300 Series for laptops 1 year ago:
8000 series didn’t get a lot of press. It was a 7000 era CPU with a better GPU.
I’m personally waiting for 8000 series to come out in more of the mini PCs. I want a mini PC that has passible graphics
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 1 year ago:
Given that it takes a giant room of vacuum tubes to equal the computation power of a cabinet sized 1960’s transistorized computer and neither had anything close to the AI shown in Fallout, it isn’t hyper realistic.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 1 year ago:
They have ai robots where the intelligence comes from vacuum tube circuits.

Rapid wound healing doesn’t mean a bullet hole heals in seconds nor does it mean a crushed bone will magically straighten and fix itself.

It’s not hyper realistic. But it’s extremely entertaining.

- Comment on How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer? 1 year ago:
In order for an AI to know what code to scrape from stack overflow
It’s a common assumption that gpt is only cutting and pasting what it found on Google. But it’s not true. I spent hours trying to find help with vba for Excel ( because I know neither) with no results other than function definitions. Gpt gave me working code that wasn’t anywhere on the Internet. It had to have pieced together the code based on the well documented function definitions.
I see it like Dalle and those other ai art programs. You can see the style they are copying to create the picture. But the ai generated pictures are not cut and pasted from images already on the Internet.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
The fan blows air on the radiator. Those air molecules can’t physically touch the radiator. The electostatic forces of atoms keep everything separated. When you touch something, you are feeling the electrostatic force of your finger’s atoms pushing against the electrostatic force of the object’s atoms.
The electrostatic force (that is the electro magnetic force that electrons radiate) is actually photons. The particle of electromagnetism is the photon. When you touch something you are feeling the photons exchanging between the electrons in the atoms of your fingers and the object.
The definition of radiation is photon emission/absorption.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
conduction
The metal atoms in the fins don’t move into the air. They stay on the fins. The fins’ atoms have to transfer their kinetic energy via photon exchange to the atoms in the air.
So conduction is radiation at atomic distances.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
Air cooling is not as effective as water cooling,
It’s not that simple because air cooling in pcs today means a heatpipe. A heatpipe uses fluid (such as water under a vacuum) that boils at a low temperature. The phase transition of liquid to vapor transfers hundreds of more times heat than simple conduction of cold water running over the CPU.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization
It’s how refrigerator compressors work to cool things so effectively. The genius of a heat pipe is it works without an electric compressor ( this limits it’s cooling ability but it’s still genius).
So a heatpipe CPU air cooler with a 120mm radiator will outperform a water-cooler with a 120mm radiator in almost every situation. The advantage of water-cooling is you can make that radiator huge (280mm is typical today), and place it on one of the side/top panels of the case where air is cool instead of deep inside where the air is hot.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
How does heat get from the water radiator to the air?
Radiation.
Atoms don’t physically touch. The electrostatic force that both binds atoms into molecules and keeps molecules separated is mediated by photon exchange.

I was saying 1 in a thousand to die from COVID vs 1 in a million to have complications from the vaccine.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 1 year ago:
“The COVID-19 age-adjusted death rate for the age 65 and over population was 533.5 per 100,000 standard population.”
“the death rate for COVID-19 among adults aged 85 and over (1,645.0 per 100,000)”
www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db446.htm
Assuming the relative was somewhere between 65 and 85 puts it at around 1 in a thousand.
