Method chaining, and a lot of it too. I honestly think it's a code smell, but some people love to do a dozen transformations in one line. You then need to make the line twice as long with .taps to debug it.

What an odd study to support the idea of white sumrpemacy when 2/3rds of the population sampled isn't Western or white according to white supremacists.

Google is a denger to the world, not because it's a monopoly but because it makes wonderful tools that are better than anything else available at the time. Everything else goes bust. Then google shutters tool and we're left worse

Define address space. Cache is not shared between cores. HPCs just have more levels of cache. Lest you ignore the fact that infiniband is pretty much on par with top of the line ddr speeds for the matching generation.

So much the worse for assembly language. Lest we forget that modern x86 machine code is an assembly language and the machine code, or microinstructions in newspeak, is completely hidden from view.

Sure but it's closer to the truth than saying they have similar or more raw compute than a super computer.

At this scale cuda is quite useless. You need to develop your own in house solution to distributing workloads. The difference to regular clusters is that all the memory is globally visible, so machine 0023 can access and modify address 0x01

A cluster is not a super computer. The whole point of a super computer is that it act as much as a single machine as it is possible while a cluster is a soup of nearly independent machines.

You could quite easily use a t420 keyboard in a t440 with a few pins masked which was the last traditional thinkpad keyboard. Actually I may be getting the numbers wrong, it could be the t430 that I was thinking about. It's been rather

Worse than the IBM thinkpads, on par with early lenovo thinkpads, better than 2020 think pads (which is the last time I used one).

The funny thing is that Thinkpads got their reputation during the period that they were nose diving in quality. There hasn't been a decent one since the t440 and the only way to get that to a good standard was by modding the hell out o

There's a difference in cost per flop at home and in a data center. I'm updating my wiring and air conditioning for a 7x5090 workstation because having that power for experiments under the desk is worth the cost (and fire hazard).
