New comment by Gerlo in "Intel announces the Aurora supercomputer has broken the exascale barrier"

Gerlo — Mon, 13 May 2024 23:08:55 +0000

>Announcement was in 2015. I'm curious whether Argonne are pleased with it.

All I'll say is that you can probably guess how they feel about it given the context.

Aurora was supposed to go into production years ago and be the first exascale supercomputer. Intel is dog shit, so this kept getting delayed. Now they're going for the two exaflop mark. It's pathetic that Aurora is only now benchmarking over an exaflop, and it's even more pathetic than this is apparently newsworthy.

I subscribed to the mailing list and look forward to the unified app! I was going to put together a personal checklist for a house and car, but I never got around to it. So thanks for saving me the time!

I haven't looked at the app too closely yet, but is it possible to add my own custom criteria, too?

The author sounds unhinged. Also, their email address is kobld@proton.me, and Protonmail easily lets you block email addresses or entire domains. The author comes off as an attention-seeking baby.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "everything that comes across the screen?" Does this include the outputs from your commands? If so, what do you use to do this?

You think the market isn't capable of adapting to changes in the availability resources on its own? That's ridiculous.

Then he did a piss poor job of that considering he's not the president anymore.

My employer spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Intel hardware for a major system, and it still hasn't seen the light of day due to complete incompetence on Intel's part. I look forward to seeing how they mismanage this money.

Thank goodness. Mitchell Baker was running Mozilla into the ground while stuffing her pockets.

>Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox...

The fact that they acknowledged Firefox at all gives me some hope.

Sorry, "shamed" is a bit hyperbolic. But I was more or less told on one of the sysadmin subreddits that there is no pride to be taken in work accomplished with the assistance of LLM's, even if that work is good.

I've been shamed for using LLM's heavily despite my productivity being through the roof.
