  • Good question. Let me check that.

    Well following their documentation, it's a distinct IP in a specific IP range.

    Good!

  • I don't know for you but, by default, all our ISP box here broadcast an "open" SSID that allows any customers of this ISP to login with their ISP credentials on the ISP box around them (except if the customers switch off this function). That allow a customer with a dead box or in travel to still have internet. (traffic is of course segregated).

    So if you know the ISP brand via the IP range and find a isolated home with this provider ssid visible, you found the address of the IP. Again that work only with low number of houses or not often use ISP.

    Connect for me is not connected like a logon but more in term of network connection (pinged).

  • Depends of where you lives. if you have only 1 house per km² around you and your isp box provide predictable SSID name, you could be easily found as the ip range is per provider.

    Google street cars capture also the wifi network around them when taking street photos.

    And getting your ip can connect the people directly to your box. A trace route command to this IP could return intermediate equipment of your isp, helping to pinpoint your town or even your street.

  • Yeah, and it's language lock too. I was wondering what is was until i said it in english...

    Why not use the universal way to write it (%) is beyond me?

  • If you try to run the game from the windows vm yes the perf are bad.

    But try to play these game from linux using wine/lutris ou protom/steam and you could be surprised

    My games were running better (really better) on archlinux than windows 11. And i have also a nvidia card (RTX 3090 FE)

  • Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).

    So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.

  • Wrong "logic" here. A tumor is something that threatened life by just being here.

    Are you an active threat to this person? If not, move out.

  • In cliché world yeah.... But in reality, not so much. 😀

    It been years... no... decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.

    I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.

    Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.

    Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.

    People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.

  • That means you didn't think enough of the potential nefarious usage of this informations could allow.

  • The plan is easy:

    • USA take Canada, greenland and everything up to Panama for Security Reason.
    • Russia take back some part of Europe because they are talking Russian.
    • China take South Korea with North Korea and Taiwan because it’s China anyway...

    Easy plan for megalo-dictators

  • Are you talking about The Great Lakes of America?

  • Make sure to check your bandwidth capacity. Streaming data to 5 people could reduce your capability to navigate on Internet if they are outside your local net as the upload speed is usually the weak point of many ISP. If you have good fiber, it won't be a problem.

  • But that work only if the USA share its data freely to others... and of course Trump asked 2 weeks ago these agency to stop doing that.

  • If the other serious media have integrity, they should also remove themselves from any official event in the name of free speech (and future protection as that could happen to them later).

    This is the only way to treat this kind of dangerous behavior.

  • For a company, the choice are today: AWS or Microsoft. I would prefer an EU version (of being spied). It was pitched as the next big step, like this IA initiative today... Still waiting...

  • While it’s true, this argument should not being used to defend people who don’t even consider Africa people as "real" human.

    In fact, it’s probably the same people (few generations earlier but with the same mindset) who jumped on boat to create the slave routes, kill people for lands and ressources... You know the people that don’t consider we are all the same.

  • Because the chips in question for AI are made in Taiwan and nowhere else. The fabs you see on US or EU soils are few generation behind. It will takes decades to be back (if possible) at the same level than Taiwan. And it cost a lot of investment. Ask Intel, they started that many years ago and still constructing the Fab as we speak. And it’s not even the latest generation Fab.

  • Making headlines is not a proof of quality. It’s just the latest buzz word. You should be less influenced by trends but more by real results.

    Btw, I’ve participated to this kind of summit, even as speaker. These events are more a marketing and lobbying tool for consultant firms than being a real breakthrough event on the technology.

    They did the same for the sovereign cloud years ago. Lot of money (our taxes) given, fancy events, fancy speeches. Concrete results: still waiting.

    And yes, this ML training already show it's limitations (hence the thing of the past remark). Until recently, you could improve the quality of the answer by providing more training data. But now, they’ve reached the limit as no more data can be given.

    It’s just a matter of time before the bubble explode.

  • Sorry but no.

    It’s good when what you are trying to do has been done in the past by thousand of people (thanks to the free training data). But it’s really bad for new use case. After all it's a glorified and expensive auto-complete tool trained on code they parsed. It’s not magic, it’s math.

    But you don’t get intelligence, creativity from these tools. It’s math! Math is the least creative domain on earth. Since when being a programmer is just typing portion of code from boilerplate / examples from internet?

    It’s the logical thinking, taking into account all the parameters and constraints, breaking problems into piece of code, checking it, testing it, deploying it, supporting it.

    Ok, programming goal is to solve a problem. But usually not all the parameters of the problem can be reduced to its mathematical form.

    IA are far from being able to do that and the ratio gain/cost is not proven at all. These companies are so committed to AI (in term of money invested) that THEY MUST make you use their AI products, whatever its quality. They even use a marketing term to hide their product bad answer: hallucinations. Hallucination is just a fancy word to not say: totally wrong.

    Do you find normal to buy a solution that never produces 100% good results (more around 20% of failure)?

    In my industry, this IA trend (pushed mainly from managers not knowing what really is programming and of course "AI") generate a lot of bad quality code from our junior devs. And it's not something i want to push in production.

    In fact, a lot of PoC around ML never goes from the R&D phase to the real production. It’s too risky for the business (as human life could be impacted).

  • Glorified autocorrect... YES! It’s a really good analogy that i will use to temper the expectation of my boss. Also: AI hallucination is just a fancy way to say ’it’s a wrong answer’.
