“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..."

BT Free

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!

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.

#Index #fossils are the remains of organisms that lived during a specific, relatively short geological period and were widely distributed across various regions.
These fossils are used by geologists and paleontologists to date rock layers (strata) and determine the relative ages of other fossils within those layers.

The "misery index" under Biden-Harris is
✅ near a six decade low!

In 1980 Ronald Reagan brought the term “#misery #index” into political debates.

The concept is simple, it’s the sum of the unemployment rate and inflation rate over the last year.

It’s not obvious that these two numbers should have the same importance, and they certainly are not the only measures that matter in evaluating the economy,
but they do provide an interesting snapshot.

Anyhow, Reagan could point to a misery index that was over 20 percent as the election approached.

The high level for the misery index was a theme Reagan hit on repeatedly in the campaign.

Another Good Inflation Report:

Inflation Has Been Beaten,
A Soft Landing Achieved

- The main gauge of inflation, the #Consumer #Price #Index,
came in at 0.2% for July and 2.9% over the past 12 months.

Food prices have only increased ✅1.1% over the past year
-- 💪🏽far below the wage gains of workers.

Over the past six months inflation has averaged 2.0% -- ⭐️which is the target rate the Fed has been shooting for.

As we’ve been saying here these last few weeks inflation, a global phenomenon, has been tamed here in the US and a #soft #landing achieved.

It is time for the Fed to #cut #interest #rates and start easing up on consumers.

A comparison of screenshots of the CDC Heat and Health Index in the Los Angeles area between the famous Beverly Hills zip code 90210 and nearby 90018 shows how risk factors can vary within 10 or 15 miles, even though both zones have a strong historical experience with heat and a considerable amount of developed environment.
