Is it actually possible to hide the locations of datacenters? At least large ones?

Cool! In that case, let me ask you: what books would you recommend on the topic?

I think you were emphasizing something beside this, but if you want to know _why_ the five Books of Moses often jump suddenly into genealogy or minutiae of interest only to priests, you might be interested in the Documentary Hypothesis. Friedman's "Who Wrote the Bible?" is an approachable introduction to it.

So GPU-backed securites sliced into tranches to improve ratings?

Why would Cloudflare do that? They shouldn't help bad actors.

That seems like such an easy thing to estimate with a bit of basic napkin math.

I thought walled towns died not due to state authority becoming stronger, but because offensive weaponry simply became effective enough to overcome walls. Walls can protect you from men with swords, but not from heavy artillery or bombers. Today, wouldn't a fleet of cheap drones render a wall moot?

It's not really "lucky" to have a sense of identity outside of work. The opposite is just unhealthy, even if common.

People have been thinking about that a long time though. For that objective, LLMs don't seem to open up any new capabilities. If that problem could be solved, with really clean abstractions that dramatically reduce context needed to understand one "module" at a time, sure LLMs will then be able to take that an run. But it's a fundamentally hard problem.
