Good luck getting a 1Tbit tranceiver. Anydirectional. Also it's 512Gbitish per direction.


Easy, fs.com has 1.6Tbps OSFP for about 570€ - though only up to 1m lenght apparently.

I was looking into the highest bandwidth optical transceivers. 400Gbps were easy enough to find so thanks for posting this. I honestly didn't know there were 1.6Tbps transceivers like this.

One note: I believe the SMF max fiber length is 2km not 1m [1]. The data sheet [2] also says:

> - 2000m max on single mode fiber

The video is about a 2x1 link, which the author hopes to eventually scale up to 3x4 using 40 gig transceivers. I'd say thunderbolt is probably safe in the near future.

That's 64Gb per lane across x16 lanes. That sounds not daunting?

There's already 800Gb transceivers readily available, 1.6 is probably getting preview deploys to some hyperscalers & other early adopters as we speak.


Bidirectional is a lot like biweekly. Biweekly depending on context means twice a week or once every two weeks and bidirectional can both mean per direction and total of both directions.

But yes I meant 512Gbps each way, to be clear.


I'm only a single datapoint but I've never encountered that usage. My understanding of a bidirectional link is that it meets the same spec in both directions simultaneously. It's important precisely because many links aren't bidirectional, sharing a single physical link between two logical links.

The more precise terms are full-duplex and half-duplex.

The quality of the fries is directly proportional to how good the attendant at the fries station is at following procedure and not dumping loads of pre baked fries in the keep-warm bin (don't know the English McD's phrase for it). They get worse from being under the heating lamp for too long or being left over the frying pan too long dripping. It's not rocket science but many don't want to be shouted at when the station runs out of fries so they overdo it on the supply. This is exaggerated when a rush is winding down and the production isn't scaled down quickly enough.

If I remember correctly there is a small trouble shooting section in the floor managers quality guide (small booklet with all procedures, weights, temperatures, stack height of boxes etc) which hints you at what is going wrong if you ever want to know and get your hands on one. Though that will have changed since mine is ancient.


I figured as much, and I would expect a Japanese mcdonalds employee to give slightly more of a shit than say, an American employee so that probably explains the discrepancy in the average experience if you were to compare them.

That reminds me of when I worked at a movie theater. We used to serve the popcorn scooped directly from the popping machine into a bucket. But then they had a corporate guy come in and install warmers so we could pre-load a bunch of buckets/bags of popcorn and hand them out when ordered. Of course the ones from the warmers aren't as good as the ones freshly popped, and this guy gave some bullshit about "ackshually popcorn right out of the popper isn't as good, it needs time to dry". It's not like the customer is about to take their popcorn into a multi-hour sitting activity where they have time to "let it dry"...

I always tried to hook up the nice customers with the fresh stuff when I could, it felt criminal handing them one out of the warmer.


It used to be a de facto standard in many programs. Since almost no mouse had a scroll wheel, you'd use the space bar or the cursor keys. Spacebar was usually faster, I guess some people still do.

I do this too. The pattern probably dates back to first Unix pagers, or perhaps to the paper era.

Still doing that, also in Thunderbird, to scroll through E-Mails and go to the next one when reaching the end (or pressing "n" or "p" for previous). I even use shift + space to go up again. I thought it was very common. Another alternative, maybe a bit more intuitive is using page up and down buttons.

The estimate cost number is for very large companies with massive overhead bulk. Dump the management overhead, the HR machine and other things smaller companies do not have and this number comes down massively.

The testing procure has been going on for over two years. Including closed circuit testing.

No article has mentioned insurance rates. I would not be surprised if this has consequences for that. I'm not saying this as good or bad but as insurers being cautious as the liability question in civil procedures ultimately comes to them.

In the US there are insurance companies that will give you a discount for each mile you drive with FSD enabled. That should give you an it’s on the impact…

I stopped at "pgit handled it.". The tldr was appreciated though as now I don't have to sieve though the LLM bloat.

Those are already automated by making your first question "Did you plug it in?", followed by "Did you actually plug it in?". Or industry equivalent. It's not like there wasn't any research into this in the past century.

The strict definition of the Geneva conventions does not include forced displacement but in some parts of the world that is included in the definition of. And legality is a matter of tribunal and none has been held so far.

You are mixing war crime and genocide IMHO.
