Some providers simply straight up refuse +ed aliases. I really like how gmail breaks RFC by using dots at any arbitrary position of your username. This is not at all an efficient and correct use of aliases but it gets the job done sometimes

> Group and sort the results; the country with the lowest latency should be the correct one

Sometimes residential ISPs (that hosts the probe) may have a bad routing due to many factors, how does the algorithm take that into account?


You have a lot of probes so you also have one with good routing

> Globalping is an open-source, community-powered project that allows users to self-host container-based probes. These probes then become part of our public network, which allows anyone to use them to run network testing tools such as ping and traceroute.

How's this different from RIPE ATLAS?


Atlas is great but it is focused more on academic research and professional use.

Globalping offers real-time result streaming and a simpler user experience with focus on integrations https://globalping.io/integrations

For example you can use the CLI as if you were running a traceroute locally, without even having to register.

And if you need more credits you can simply donate via GitHub Sponsors starting from $1

They are similar with an overlapping audience yet have different goals


Tesla expanding into insurance actuarial science, isn't it a conflict of interest if they offer it for their own cars?

Apologies for my novice question, does deep learning neural network give rise to hallucinated brakes and accelerations?


Would this sort of operational prowess be possible if it weren't for Musk? Will the future be kind and reflect back in the hindsight when Musk dies?

I think it should. Hate it or not he has a proven ability to create environments where people thrive and want to work the hardest they ever have. Moreover, an ability to understand how much money is required to build something alongside the daring to actually try it. Again, I wish he never got into politics, but generally he knows how to build things people want, and uniquely wants to try.

> Will the future be kind and reflect back in the hindsight when Musk dies?

id hazard a guess and say it will, people love to hero worship but he's his own biggest fan. nothing he built wasnt done before in some way. if im being generous id say hes a good integrator of tech, which in itself isnt such a bad thing, if thats all it was.


Uh huh, i get 300mbit burst 200mbit sustained download and 20mbit sustained upload, midday, from a forest in the dead center of louisiana. oh and with a consistent 59ms ping to our DC on the east coast (not aws), 24/7, over millions of pings.

can you tell me what other provider is doing that? for $120 a month? Were you thinking of hughesnet? because that was ADSL speeds with 20 times the latency. seriously, upwards of 1000ms round trip time.

yes, a century and a quarter ago there were electric cars. that went 15 units per hour for 20 minutes or whatever. Then Saturn EV-1 by GM was lease only, i wanted to own one and was unable to. what happened between the EV-1 and Tesla that made it to mass market? was there a fEV that i am not aware of that had sales numbers similar to Tesla's?

is it about the flamethrower? those already existed. So did tunnels. I guess you got me.

too bad all this is buried.


you missed my point but im glad your enjoying those things

It's an autonomous vehicle fitted with a gazillion of sensors and data to drive itself. We can expect better from it than humans.

I'm not sure what your point is here since this was better than many humans. Was it better than all humans? No. But there also isn't a single human who's better than all humans.


> I want to be able to leverage Hollywood grade VFX and make shows and transform my likeness for real time improv.

While i certainly respect your interactivity and subsequent force multiplayer nature of AI, this doesn't mean you should try to emulate an already given piece of work. You'll certainly gain a small dopamine when you successfully copy something but it would also atrophy your critical skills and paralyze you from making any sort of original art. You'll miss out on discovering the feeling of any frontier work that you can truly call your own.


Pretty sure there's some kickbacks involved.
