Yup!

One of the impacts of regulation is that it changes. Building a large plant takes years and while it is being built regulations change. While the plant is still being built, the plant has to make changes to align with the new regulations. There is a long post on Medium or Substack about this. The article tries to nail down why the US is one of the most expensive places to build nuclear power. Changing regulations is a major cause.

If one could bang out a dozen modular reactors in the time it takes to build a single large one, it is a huge win.

Are you saying that Germany can fix their problem by going with Telsa? Can they build enough Megapacks to take this issue on? How much would that cost?

Two words: phase stability

I read an article recently that Germany needed to keep one of their coal plants on for frequency and phase stability for the grid. The article pointed out the engineers have been worried about this issue for years, but it has yet grabbed the attention of politicians.

The only company that crippled Netflix was Cogent. I love Cogent (I've used their services), but they made a mistake taking on Netflix as a CDN client. Cogent prides itself on settlement free peering. Netflix pushed them beyond the settlement free contracts and they had no incentive to upgrade the peering links. That isn't the ISP's problem. The whole Netflix issue a few years back had nothing to do with net neutrality and everything to do with settlement free peering contracts.

Did you actually read about the components that comprise the RHEL AI system? It isn't just marketing. RHEL AI announcement is made up of:
* bootc -- bootable containers. A way to build ami, qcow2, vmdk, etc images in the same way one builds container images.
* Granite LLM -- Apache 2 licensed LLM.
* InstructLab -- tooling for using, managing, and training the LLM

Podman Desktop has a plugin called AI Lab that makes it easy for people to startup AI endpoints. In some ways it is similar to LM Studio, but container based.
Openshift AI is a system for Openshift (K8s) that supports building AI pipelines.

That's called peering and it is pretty important part of how the Internet works! Peering saves a company from using their more expensive transit links. The FCC should NOT mess with peering. It should in NO way be confusing with Net Neutrality.

For now, the answer is to spread the datacenters across the country. Which causes other issues. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fcorbtt%2Fstatus%2F1772392525174620355:

The whole thing about the early termination fee is because a contract is being broken. I know, contracts mean nothing these days because... who reads those things anyways? The company is giving a discount if ones agrees to stay with the company for a specified term. The company knows they have the customer for that period of time, so they cut a deal. One could opt into the month-to-month contract, but it costs more. All this rule will do is remove the discount for long-term commitments, which means we will all pay for the month-to-month pricing.

Will they accept reverting the water pistol emoji back to the actual Unicode standard?

Yeah, yeah, I suppose it is too late because every major tech company deviated from the standard and went with a toy gun.

Such silliness!

I suppose you never downloaded BOB_89A.GIF. Seems odd that you would have missed that file since it was a demonstration of the features in the GIF specification. Load that file with CSHOW.EXE (CompuShow) and it would display text over the picture that said: Oh, incidentally, it's pronounced "JIF"

It was definitely out there, and I knew plenty of people that pronounced it that way.

I do! I learned it that way when GIF was new. There was a .gif from CompuServe that stated that it should be pronounced "jif". Back in those days, everyone I knew pronounced it "jif"... probably because they saw the same file.

Ya know there was another party involved during that era, right? It wasn't Netflix vs ISPs. It was Netlfix's CDN (Cogent) vs the ISPs. Look up Cogent in a peering map. Cogent has been very, very savvy in their peering agreements. Taking on Netflix turned out to be a very bad idea for them. It pushed them outside of their peering agreements. Unfortunately the dump press used the drama to spin for the politics of Net Neutrality even though peering has nothing to do with prioritizing packets or traffic shaping.

What if going over a peering connection save 10 hops? But you can't use that shortcut being the device is forcing all traffic over the transit link due to the "relay" feature. I want to know more about the relay feature. If it is a VPN-like feature then it would break all the nice peering that the ISP setup. No one wants to go back to mid-90's Internet where all the traffic traversed a handful a backbone providers. Do we?

Peering games? Peering is critical to the modern Internet. Peering saved the Internet back in the late 90's.

By games are you're talking about how a well known company that was providing CDN services for Netflix? If so, then you should know that the company didn't want to pay for traffic when they fell outside their settlement-free agreement. Nothing wrong with another company trying to hold them to the contract.
