You got legal trouble? Better call SauLM-7B

Legal Opinions generated By AI?

Perhaps it will be now worse that the kind of manufactured nonsense we see created by Trumpty Dumpty's legal team?

After reading this commentary I will add this comment

I have kicked the tires on this entire stack, and the hands down winner is ProxMox PVE 8.1.3. It shames all others on a performance basis, will host VM's for OS's from every flavor of Linux, Windows, and some Mac flavours, and is scalable on a cluster level that meets most needs without licensing of any sort.

Pull down the ISO here and give yourself a break from the licensing disease.

And then came optical connectivity...

This article is spot on except for one critical trend. In 73 we had the beginnings of Ethernet that escalated from a shared 2Mb multi user tapped cable, and by the mid eighties was pushing 10 to 100 Mb switched connections. By the mid 90's 1G switched Ethernet began to crawl out of the labs with a 100 meter reach.

The pivot point was when the signal stream became optical instead of electromagnetic. Network reach became massively extended in buildings with multi-mode fiber and to tens and hundreds of Kilometers with single mode, and network capacities grew in tenfold jumps in the late 90's and early 00's. The next roll will be optical processing embedded on the substrate connected to Pb backbones.
