“HIGHLIGHTS
• The regional pattern of IGF in west-central Florida is dominated by the characteristics of the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
• IGF plays a major role in the available water for partitioning and watershed aridity index.
• Groundwater pumping affects IGF, and the change in IGF counteracts the human impact on available water..."

So, my Valve Index arrived. As you may know, it officially supports Linux.
It works, sort of, but dear god what a mess that was to get working.

Within the span of one evening, I have seen it all: GPU freezing, failing to aquire a DRM lease, firmware updates crashing, latency, and some weird swap chain flickering issue.

It works, though. On Linux. And I have a plethora of paths to get it perfect. This weekend will be awesome.

Good day folks! I'm working on creating a moderated #Peertube #Public #Index. Does anyone have any recommendations on good servers that could be added to the Public Index?

What I'm looking for, no porn, no hate speech, no copyrighted material.

If you're looking to get added to our public index, please message me here or email me btfree@btfree.org with title "PTIndex".

I'm going to work on creating a video as to how YOU can add BT Free's public index to YOUR Peertube as well as how to run your own #Public #Index. As well as how to install and configure your own Peertube to run.

I need YOUR help to find QUALITY instances though that we'd like to be a part of!

The S&P 500 index price isn't just a simple sum of all the stock prices of its constituents.

It's a weighted index, meaning the value is calculated based on the market capitalization of the companies within it.

Larger companies have more influence on the index's movements than smaller ones.

Okay, Back of the napkin math:
- There are probably 100 million sites and 1.5 billion pages worth indexing in a #search engine
- It takes about 1TB to #index 30 million pages.
- We only care about text on a page.

I define a page as worth indexing if:
- It is not a FAANG site
- It has at least one referrer (no DD Web)
- It's active

So, this means we need 40TB of fast data to make a good index for the internet. That's not "runs locally" sized, but it is nonprofit sized.

My size assumptions are basically as follows:
- #URL
- #TFIDF information
- Text #Embeddings
- Snippet

We can store an index for 30kb. So, for 40TB we can store an full internet index. That's about $500 in storage.

Access time becomes a problem. TFIDF for the whole internet can easily fit in ram. Even with #quantized embeddings, you can only fit 2 million per GB in ram.

Assuming you had enough RAM it could be fast: TF-IDF to get 100 million candidated, #FAISS to sort those, load snippets dynamically, potentially modify rank by referers etc.

6 128 MG #Framework #desktops each with 5tb HDs (plus one raspberry pi to sort the final condidates from the six machines) is enough to replace #Google. That's about $15k.

In two to three years this will be doable on a single machine for around $3k.

By the end of the decade it should be able to be run as an app on a powerful desktop

Three years after that it can run on a #laptop.

Three years after that it can run on a #cellphone.

By #2040 it's a background process on your cellphone.
