They already are through selection. China and Russia choose children with favorable genetics for a sport and groom them into competitors.

Nothing illegal about the approach, it’s just spooky to see.

Overall, we rate The Guardian as Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks over the last five years. (5/18/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 06/30/2024)

An international team in Japan has set a new record for the fastest internet speed at a blazing 402 terabits per second (Tb/s).

The staggering number is hard to put into perspective. Compared to the average U.S. broadband speeds of around 226 megabits per second, it’s over 1.5 million times faster.

For example, a video game released in 2021, “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” is 170 gigabytes large. With an internet speed of 402 Tb/s, the game would be downloaded in 3 milliseconds. This speed is faster than a blink of an eye — over 3,000% faster.

Back in March, scientists in the United Kingdom set the previous world record for internet speed clocking in at 301 Tb/s. Researchers have increased the speed by over 25% in just a few short months.

Speeds like this are only possible using a fiber optic connection utilizing a multitude of new and different wavelengths to send data across the fiber system. These fiber optic systems will be a technology that will allow “Beyond 5G” information services to work faster than ever, and the technology is expected to become more commonly seen.

Think more like backbone, a bunch of sources and requests all getting there faster.

I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.
