Brazil also has a few castles, although not sure if they are classified differently -- https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_castelos_no_Brasil

These digital twins aim to simulate climate, oceans, atmosphere, wind speed, temperature, etc., regionally or globally. They apply physics, mathematics, software engineering, and high-performance computing to simulate the world. Both digital twins I mentioned use EuroHPC resources like CSC LUMI, BSC MareNostrum5, CINECA Leonardo, and soon others (and we also use other smaller HPCs).

Now there are some ongoing work about integrating AI/ML, LLM, etc.. I find it a better approach than building for LLM/AI-first, as it integrates existing components, and allows for AI to be used too. I think this could possibly be integrated as a component in a solution like this described in the article, as a component.

(There are other digital twins, for heart, human body, cities, urban climate, rivers, biodiversity, etc.)

There's something here called "second chance", which I don't remember seeing this in Brazil. My wife did a masters at University of Barcelona and they also had a second chance. In every subject if you fail, then you take the exam or submit some assignments to get the required grade. Some students realised they wouldn't get a good grade, and preferred to skip the exam or assignment, just to get a better grade on the second chance to graduate with a good score/honours/etc.. I found that interesting, but I focused more learning things that would help me at $work and tried to avoid stress (I was probably the oldest student in my class, 40+ yo).

I think there is a partition in our supercomputing facility for these new types of technologies, but since my work is running climate models, I only hear news from other teams like our AI factory, the quantum computer, or people involved with these new chips and some emulators (that I think work together).

I had the chance to help a bit with one of the AOSA books. It was a very powerful pipeline, but also quite complex to manage. IIRC it used pandoc (and a lot other tools).

So having a simpler alternative like epublish would be interesting if I have to work on another book in the future.

EDIT: sorry, just went to the main thread, and saw there you replied to another user it's not open source "yet" (hooray)

The grammar and vocabularies don't match, but I think the worst are the expressions. Both sides have *a lot* of expressions that vary per context and location.

Agreed!

> The Internet Archive Switzerland, online at https://internetarchive.ch/, is a newly-formed Swiss non-profit foundation that will operate independently within its national context.

I think the Wikipedia Editors will have to decide whether they will add it to the existing page. The Operations section is still listing only U.S. data centers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive#Operations

In one of the slides, there were factors that influence the decision of where to build a data center, and several of the items involved finding a place with enough space and skilled people to work at this data center. He also commented sometimes there is politics involved on choosing the place for a next data center.

If you are concerned about employability then I think going back to school or investing in a masters or some technical courses could be interesting. Or even moving to coordination/leader/engineer roles?

But if you have a hobby, maybe you could consider trying something different like either doing it in parallel, or maybe combining with engineering. e.g. I'm considering something like Blender3D + drawing using Grease pencil. Blender can be programmed with Python too, and this way I'd combine two things that I like.

I was also looking if there was a Wikipedia page about Software Engineers/Programmers who were also fiction writers. I know Andy Weir from Martian was a programmer. I thought Neal Stephenson would have some background in programming, but looks like he never wrote software professionally.

At the bottom of the article there's, under "See Also", a link to this page comparing RSS and Atom: https://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Rss20AndAtom10Compared...

It seems like the last update is from 2008, but the section on the differences has a few interesting items. I am not sure if it changed, but it says:

"The RSS 2.0 specification is copyrighted by Harvard University and is frozen. No significant changes can be made (although the specification is under a Creative Commons licence) and it is intended that future work be done under a different name; Atom is one example of such work."

The Wikipedia RSS page has also a small section comparing RSS and Atom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#RSS_compared_with_Atom

"Technically, Atom has several advantages: less restrictive licensing, IANA-registered MIME type, XML namespace, URI support, RELAX NG support.[35]"
