something with a little more technical detail: https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/ias/jsc/jupiter/tech looks like its just a big Nvidia installation. IB, Ceph, K8s, H100s

If that’s “so simple”, why we don’t see everyone “just” doing the same?

Nice. How much does this cost?

That's also a lot of waste, isn't it?

It might just be expensive... Some other countries might just not need those when they are struggling to get fresh water...

And so on, but that's just my 2 cents.

"With JUPITER, Europe becomes the home of the most powerful computer in Europe" -- Henna Virkkunen What does that mean?

My guess is that it means that not only does "Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy" write her quotes with AI without reading them carefully, but that she's also doing it with an older model.

Europe is not a country.

Federal Europe is a proto-country - and we are already citizens of the European Union. In short: Europe is my country !
