How would an instance block an IP without storing IPs?
They could be blocking entire IP ranges. So they wouldn’t have to store specific IPs. I’m not in the hosting industry but I would imagine there are groups tracking the CIDR blocks (IP ranges) that VPN providers use for their exit nodes. If such a list exists, a host could simply subscribe to accept whatever updates occur to those lists and implement the block for them.
Oops, my mistake
Apology accepted. Have a great day!
You’re embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn’t exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you’re behind here.
Such a confident answer! And so incorrect too!
Honestly, we know where the root of this problem came from. Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers
Intel didn’t like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created “Pentium” because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn’t use it.
That’s my bad for not remembering AMD’s fucking atrocious nonstandard mobile chip naming schemes.
Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.
This is likely one case where capitalist polluters and leftist environmentalists are on the same side. Neither wants to see this plant in operation.
Coal is an expensive way to generate electricity in the USA. Its a PITA to get the coal and deal with the tailings. Further with the death of coal power being obvious for decades, plant operators have put off maintenance again and again knowing that the plants closing is forthcoming. The forced demand from the government would require at least some of that expensive maintenance done to keep operating. Plant operators don’t want to spend that money for something that is going to be closed as soon in the years ahead as trump isn’t in the picture anymore.
Doesn’t this mean one fewer Republican Senators then? He was elected in 2023 so he still had safe years on his term in office.
Also from Wikipedia:
“He is the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor’s degree.”
Well, trump has said “I love the poorly educated”, so this is an on-brand choice for trump.
If its the full macOS, I don’t think we can say that. That’s what makes this so interesting as it is a first of its kind.
Now, if it performs like a dog compared to an equivalent spec M3 or M4 Macbook Air, then we probably could call it a glorified tablet.
Especially when they’re using it as a defense to use racial slurs in a Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon.
Tried the same thing in Asahi but without macOS’ memory management and access to GPU acceleration, it just wasn’t feasible.
Thank you for sharing this result. I knew Asahi’s memory management wasn’t as robust (so I got a 24GB RAM M2 unit to overcome this).
For your macOS Ollama implementation are you able to leverage the NPU in the hardware (which I know is also unavailable so far in Asahi)?
This was my first question. This laptop looks like a really strange bird from the hardware point of view. It runs OSX (Tahoe), but uses an iPhone/iPad CPU (not an M1 or M2 CPUs that Asahi runs on today).

Woah, this is new! A version of Mac OSX running on a iPhone/iPad CPU.
Feb 16 2026 Justice Department head Pam Bondi says “all Epstein files released”
“Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a letter to Congress that the Justice Department has released what she described as ‘all’ of the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying the agency has fulfilled its obligations under the Epstein Transparency Act.”
Mar 4 2026 … apparently that thing she said was a lie.

I agree, but we should also take it a personal warning that, maybe not today, but as we age and our mental faculties decline, we too may fall victim to something like this.
There was another article from a very similar set of circumstances of a man originally from Portland going off the deep end with an AI relationship. He committed suicide but jumping off a bridge, not because a prompt told him to, but because of the deep psychosis from the long term engagement.
If you feel this happens so frequently, give me a series of prompts to use so that I can replicate this.
And since you won’t, that’s what I thought.
The chatlogs as reported were 55,000 pages long.
If those logs become public you’ll have your chance. I hope you don’t wear out your fingers in your attempt to replicate it.
I posted my response to this sentiment in another thread of another man killing himself because of his deep AI chatbot addiction, but it applies here too.
It is sad that there are people who are so alone that they can no longer determine the difference between genuine human interaction and a facsimile.
Do you believe you have never responded to a post by a bot on Reddit, Lemmy, or elsewhere where you believe to be conversing with a human? While I know we’re talking about different degrees between this man and the rest of us, it should give a tiny piece of what they were experiencing before we dismiss that it could never happen to us too.
Its not often trump officials admit to falling for a scam and attacking another country.
The Trump administration and its allies in Congress presented a shifting new justification Monday for the U.S. attack on Iran, with House Speaker Mike Johnson suggesting that the White House believed Israel was determined to act on its own, leaving the president with a “very difficult decision.”
Mom: If someone else is jumping off a bridge, would you too?
GOP: Yes
With as toxic as Orban (Hungarian Leadership) is to Ukraine, it surprises me that Urkaine would take the risk of transporting this valuable cargo through Hungary or Slovakia when bound for Astria. It might be a longer drive, but the path through Poland and Czechia may be preferred going forward.
