Interesting, how was the EU funding process?

I found funny the hairstylist did provide a pretty distopic reason to use ChatGPT... it seems that you are trying to please your new employer... Nevertheless I respect performance work and I'm studying for something similar. I hope to land a job in HPC

Underrated comment. We are damaging our economy and giving advantages to our real competitors

I'm trying to solve the brachistochrone problem by numerical optimization. I started with the minimal surface problem to get a foot in the door: I discretize the integral as a sum of constributions that depend on the function values at specific points, then use autograd libraries for optimizing a non-linear scalar loss function

Yeah, using LLMs makes me reconsider the complexity of the software I'm producing and I'm relying on. In a sense LLMs can be a test for the complexity and the fast iteration cycles could yield better solutions than the existing ones

But what was wrong with pip, venv and pyproject.toml in the first place? I just keep a system installation of python for my personal things and an environment for every project I'm working on. I'd get suspicious if a developer is picky about python versions or library versions like what crazy programs are you writing?

A research project on converting a python application from loops to numpy vectorization to jax and pytorch compilation (the latter is fast!). I'm exploring the performance portability of such frameworks across different devices and backends (also gpu). I have also C++ hand optimized implementations that so far are unbeaten

Ask HN: You are given a PETAFLOP of compute, what do you do with it?

FattiMei — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:36:05 +0000

Assuming no concerns on electricity bills, no mining or renting, it is yours (you don't have to share). 1 PETAFLOP was the best supercomputer in 2010 or the #500th in 2020. Assume limited fraction of GPUs
