The weirdest thing just happened to me!

I was walking back from a friend's, and at about 01:59 (Heard the church bell shortly afterwards), I saw out of the corner of my eye a white flash in the sky, now I just passed it off as an over active imagination, but several minutes later, as I walked into my close (having a much better view of the sky from this angle), I saw another white flash that took up most/all of the sky, it was kind of like a camera flash, but very large in scale. I could hear no noise either time, and it doesn't seem like the kind of weather for lightening (plus, no thunder was heard?), it was too large a flash to be fireworks. I've been keeping an eye out through my window since and I've seen nothing else. Anyone have any idea of what this might have been, or seen anything similar before?

It was your flash forward for sure.

I suppose it could have been anything though :/ It could have been a flood light from somewhere. Maybe it was a meteor you saw passing :p

I guess it probably was a meteor then, although the flash forward idea does sound a lot more interesting (albeit I didn't see anything, hope I was just asleep!), wouldn't have been a flood light I don't think as I live in a small town near to no sporting venues (plus it was 2AM, nothing happens at 2AM over here ;-/), does anyone know of any websites that report meteor sightings or anything of the kind? Just want to verify that it was in fact a meteor and I wasn't seeing any spooky stuff :p

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
