Don't forget about the (awesome) cluster scheduler, Flux. https://hpc-tutorials.llnl.gov/flux/

Yes! I started going down the path of building a ripple carry adder already (which seems to work fine). Then I was going to try for a full on ALU, then some sort of ISA that sits o…

I had fun reading this. Thanks for sharing. With dendritic compartments, this seems like a waste of a perfectly good neuron that we could productively use elsewhere. ;) Note that a…

Although vcpkg is probably the most popular, I’m a fan of https://conan.io/center

Need to pee? Take the a-trap to Shell.

Its an eternal september moment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Don't get me wrong, both are pretty terrible. I'm not going to defend Tesla. But BYD is on a whole different level with that stuff (e.g. human trafficking, suicides and the factory…

BYD uses slave labor. "In the dormitories of the Jinjiang Group, the company hired by BYD to carry out the work, there were no mattresses on the beds, and the few toilets served hu…

Speaking from past experience with the DoE (I'm happy I don't need to deal with security like this anymore), there were constant and randomized checks to make sure fiber cables (th…

They have multiple networks. One of them is definitely airgapped (red for RD). The medium security one is protected by annoyingly strict network ACLs (yellow for ITAR). Then there'…

They already have CUDA cores in production. This is a lab that's looking for the next big thing.

Probably because they're hosting an exascale-class cluster with a bazillion GH200s. Also, they launched a new "National Security AI Office".

Not to be confused with StarTree Cloud: https://startree.ai/products/startree-cloud

2025/5/5 is the next square root day. The next one won't happen until 2036/6/6. Also, the year itself is a square (45^2=2025). If I'm calculating right, the last time this was the …

Classical reversible computing feels like it would be a good way to interface with a quantum computer (since it's also reversible in theory).

It's very similiar. The rod logic in diamond age (Eric Drexler was the one who originally came up with it) moves linearly -- not rotationally like this does. It's also reversible.

On several of the slides in this, it compares Northguard with Kafka.

Yeah, it's definitely a significant shift. The Xinfra component helps with Kafka compatibility, but that still has quite a bit of complexity to it. Also, it's written in C++, so th…
