The Elliott 803 computer (a little later) also used magnetic core logic; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_803 Not sure if the principal is similar or not. (There was one down …

Yeh that's a really nice one; I don't see anything in that suggesting it's been fixed (or even reported?)

What, even if it means you can run models without relying on the currently backlogged DRAM production?

The question is how far can they lower it while still claiming to have still provided the 'always free' - I mean can they reduce my nice free VM to 32k of ram and a 1/1000 of a cor…

Whoever did it - very nicely done!

Haha yes that was a very silly mistake on their part; they should at least have registered the domain they were targeting; that would actually have been a good canary - any real ac…

They are different opportunities for thieves; airport parking has an advantage that the owners are expected to be away for a while, and, if someone is involved in the parking then …

The car.

So is it that normal looking parking area or is that a multi storey behind the places they show in the video?

Well that's why I ask - a lot of 'secure' airport parking suffers from people stealing from it.

I wonder what their secure parking area looks like.

TIL of 'townland' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townland - a subdivision mostly in Ireland and Scotland. (While I looked up UK)

Yes, once I can put in the delivery details something like '7 medium size bananas, with no bruising, varying in ripeness from almost ready to still slightly green' and let a robot …

The initial grouping of 'pack of organic bananas' with individual bananas feels like a wrong number in the pack problem; eg we typically want one a day so want to buy 7 in a weekly…

The EPS was a lot lower than expectation though - and I thought that was the only reason people held IBM shares, they've not traditionally grown quickly but IBM has traditionally d…

Well I wouldn't pay for it to be idle; if you want to ensure you have the ability to do it, then you buy some proportion of it's potential output at their increased costs; but whil…

That might have been a bargain if you could have done it during peak Covid. Having the capability to make them is worth a lot in resilience.

Yeh I don't know why the emphasise the 'neural engine' - it's their stonking RAM bandwidth that just blows everything else out of the water.

The 1937 construction picture with the horses is a great contrast of technologies.

Nested virt on x86 is curiously painful; you'd kind of think each layer would be isolated, so that the L0 (hardware) would only have to worry about it's VM (L1), and L1 would have …

As I understand it, that they've gone back to the point of making the ovary and the egg itself is going through Meiosis helps here, because it's got the randomness of picking genes…

Very impressive work! (Hmm, I wonder if this can be done for chicken eggs)

I love that it's a 'tape' - I assume in reference to the early telegraph tapes/tickers: https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co33749...

Do you need to fit that many sensors around the edge or can you rotate the ring of fewer sensors?

Yeh, it had 'kerfuffle' as one of the last words but that's very common. Yet it had Zenzizenzizenzic (which I'd never heard of but I think I guessed it right) It really could do wi…
