i have gfiber 8gb put in my house. a cost-effective high performance setup im using is unifi cloud gateway fiber + 2x microtik CRS305 SFP+ (for all my other 10G devices) + 2x unifi flex 2.5G. this setup gives me a lot of 10G ports for little cost. copper DAC cables are great (optical transceivers and cables also work for longer runs). another great hack for older houses is using goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter to run 2.5G around the house via coax cables to your wifi access points.

I have preferred rust for many years now, but we’ll be using models spitting out 500-1500 or more tokens/sec soon and rust compile times are glacially slow (while go is almost instantaneous).

j/c but why are we still maxing out at 1gb ethernet connections? why have the speeds essentially not progressed in 20 years? you can get a 40gb connection by just using usb-c on modern machines. what's going on? (curious about why this is the case industry-wide, i think this project is really cool)

Typically I like to read HN comments for insightful discourse focused on details of the topic at hand by relevant experts. It is a terrible failing of HN that this useless comment is promoted to the top.

It is like if there were a detailed blog post about rusts type system and I was to comment “Why would anyone use rust when they could use X instead?”

Please stop upvoting this comment.

vitalik and the ethereum foundation hold less than 0.5% of the eth supply.

I once had a fender bender in a Tesla that cost 20k to fix (back in 2016). Downside of not having 3rd parties making the parts.

Most of the losses were from earnings multiples reverting back to historical norms… which is healthy.

I've heard a lot of wild conspiracy theories, but that one is new to me. To be fair, I do not believe the conspiracy theories, just that the inaction we're seeing is feeding credibility to the people peddling them.

Not just the democrats. Republicans, Bahamian officials, members of the media, regulators, etc. The most recent New York Times piece did not mention fraud or criminality a single time, painting SBF as someone who simply got in over his head.
