Blackouts are not climate driven. We are retiring unfavorable sources of energy like coal and nuclear faster than we are bringing new sources of green energy online. It's fucking stupid.

The coherent memory interconnects between nodes is typically what makes supercomputers different than just a bunch of consumer hardware. It allows different types of programming or at least makes them easier.
Yeah it is a little tricky, but using them as class attributes can actually be handy in some circumstances.

Note to readers unfamiliar with Python: class attributes is a special thing, different than instance attributes.

Definitely one of the trickier things with Python for sure.

Hey thanks for the feedback! We tried to focus on the security aspect by setting up the email confirmation and the MFA for access controls to an account hoping that would ease some of the concerns. We can definitely get the data available via a public API for consumption but will need to look into how we can let users map their own DB or form into our UI to help make it more flexible. Appreciate the feedback!
There goes any degrees considered useless. That's probably not what you want.
Oh man, I love Python but what you say does sound truthful to me. Do you think that other programming languages are more resilient to this? (I'm trying to figure out whether there are some intrinsics of Python that make it more susceptible, and if so whether that could be mitigated)

But those are only proxy variables to explain "performance", or "throughput", or "latency". No doubt, if I wanted a fast single machine, the two configs you showed would both be nice- the former because it's an off-the-shelf part that just "runs stuff faster" than most slower processors, and the latter because it represents the limit of what a person with some infrastructure can do (although, TBH, I'd double check every result the system generated).

Ultimately, however, no system is measured by its clock rate- or by its cache size- or by its MIPS. Because no real workload is truly determined by a simple linear function of those variables.

Well, I would tweak that to say "there's no perfect/ideal OS (for everyone)".

A lot of what makes a good UI (which is the main part of the OS we've been talking about) is that it takes relatively little effort for the person to understand [0]. This is highly dependent on the person -- their preferences, modes of thinking, use-cases, and historical usage. Even the "type of user" they think they are can play a role [1].

One person's deal-breaking bug is another person's killer feature.

[0]: For lack of a less-overloaded term: "intuitive".

[1]: e.g. someone who considers themselves a "power user" might eschew anything that doesn't provide a ton of options... even if the only options available are the ones they would choose anyway.

In my small Eastern European country the best way to solve litigations with companies as a consumer is to use Customer Protection, which is a state agency.

To give an example, on Black Friday, some big online retailer had an offer on this site. I bought something with card and in two hours they called me to apologize that they didn't have it in stock, and they retired the product from the online store.

But next morning, the product was back in the online store, with a greater price.

I phoned, the retailer and demanded my purchased product at the payd price. They denied and offered a refund. I told I will appeal to Customer Protection and they said they still won't honor my order.

I emailed Customer Protection with proofs, screnshots and they forced the retailer to send me the product for the payd price, and also gave them a big fine.

The moral of the story is that a customer has to fight for his rights, by whatever means are legal in his country.

If I had time, I would have made an interactive app for consumers to vote for good behaving companies, bad behaving companies, add proofs for everybody to be seen and try to pressure the companies to behave good.

I would think this is the 16-20 crowd as scooping ice cream isn’t really a career. Maybe they’re not going to be in cape cod to work this summer?

Maybe they think tourism will suck this this year (again) and have gone elsewhere?
The simpler version of this is Philips Warm Glow in the US, generically known as 'warm dim', where the lamp has two LED engines - one bright and cold, one dimmer and warm, and it crossfades between them when the lamp is dimmed. Works great. I use it for every lamp in my house.

Exactly! The logic of "the average of +100% and -50% is positive" only applies if the denominator is the same. In this case it isn't.

The relative percentage "rule of thumb" doesn't even feel like a primitive in math. It seems wrong to reason from that.
I'm inclined to agree with you here. The solutions suggested here seem to depend on heuristics that depend on the type of distribution.

A tangential question: real numbers are uncountably infinite. Are probability distributions over the real numbers likewise uncountably infinite, or do they form a higher infinity?
You're not wrong.

The set of problems that fit into a single node is growing. At least in some fields where the added benefit of more data is less important than, say, more precise measurements.

That's a bit of an absolute statement. Blackouts can happen for a lot of reasons, some of them are related to climate and climate change. Bigger weather events like floods and windows can take out power lines or dams easily.
The appearance of oil on the surface comes from roasting beans to the second crack:

Oily beans are dark roasted and have a different flavour profile. If you get cheap supermarket espresso beans, they're usually roasted to this point. I think it gives a more consistent product given input variability, varietal differences are no longer so apparent.

Income is not wealth. Especially when you factor in student loan debt! You can make a higher income than another person but still be poorer than them because of debt.

Also, income can change a lot from year to year. My income certain has. If the economy goes to pot, suddenly a lot of people with higher income will become unemployed. And the years you spend in school are typically very low or no income, so you're not building any wealth during those years. And if you go to graduate school, it's even more years of low to no income.

At least in California, the fire code doesn't allow you to have a bank of batteries without building a dedicated room with active fire suppression for them. You need to prove (to your local fire department) that your array of batteries won't have a thermal runaway.

The article contains a chart, ostensibly to support its claim, but I don't see how it supports the claim.

The chart shows that tuition inflation was already massively outpacing overall inflation in the '80s. The trend seems to accelerate a little bit in '93, but there's a much more pronounced acceleration in the early 2000's.

So whatever the underlying reason is for tuition growing much faster than inflation, that reason must have been present in the '80s already, and the greatest acceleration of that process happened about ten years after the event that the article claims is the cause of all of it.

Congratulations to AMD, HPE and ORNL! This is an amazing achievement. Can't wait to see the spectacular science results coming from this installation.

Intel was supposed to build the first Exascale system for ANL [1] [2]. to be installed by 2018. They completely and utterly messed up the execution, partly drive by 10nm failure, went back to the drawing board multiple times, and now Raja switched the whole thing to GPUs, a technology that Intel has no previous success with and rebased it to 2 ExaFlops peak, meaning they probably expect 1 EF sustained performance, a 50% efficiency. No other facility would ever consider Intel as a prime contractor again. ANL hitched their wagon to the wrong horse.

This is the key bit of information that is always missed in discussions of "10x engineers". 10x better than the absolute worst, but probably 2x better than average. This lines up with my informal, anecdotal experience where the absolute best engineers I've worked with usually perform 2-3x better than average.

I don’t do web development, but when I need something similar on Linux, I usually creating custom packages.

A bad thing about them, they are distro-specific: Debian is using deb packages, Alpine is using apk packages. Not just the installer other things are also substantially different between them. If deploying some services, some distros are using systemd but Alpine uses openrc. Firewalls are different as well.

At least in my experience it’s not terribly bad. On servers and embedded these environments are stable, people don’t usually switch randomly between unrelated distros.

A good thing about the approach is little to no overhead for runtime performance, management complexity (the installer infrastructure included in the OS makes it trivially easy to upgrade/remove these packages), and binary size.

These Linux repositories are huge, there’s very high chance whatever runtime support one might possibly need is already there, tested carefully by the maintainers of the distro. When that’s the case, a dependency becomes a single line in the package manifest, such as “libsomething (>= 12.34)” for a Debian package.
My parents have a Generac. It tests itself every Tuesday at noon. It always seemed fine. But the first time they needed it, something failed. I'm not sure what, but I think it was in the electronics and software. Even the best tests can't catch everything.
I've got a somewhat goldilocks generator setup that involves a backfeed breaker (with mandatory interlock kit). I can run my central AC on this thing for ~5 hours per 10 gallons of fuel. The generator is "portable" and rated for 12000 continuous watts.

Its a bit of a pain to set up, but this is how I deal with multi-day hurricane scenarios living in the gulf coast region.

I debated standby generator, but the cost vs value is a difficult argument considering how often the texas grid actually experiences a multi-day event.

I am still considering something like a powerwall, but its a lot of extra crap to pay for and think about. My generator is properly winterized and will almost certainly start up if required to within the next half decade. Very simple.
BLAS itself has been rewritten in Nvidia CUDA and AMD HIP, and is likely the workhorse in this case. (Remember that Frontier is mostly GPUs and the bulk of code should be GPU compatible)

Presumably that old Fortran code has survived many generations of ports: Connection Machine, DEC Alpha, Intel Itanium, SPARC and finally today's GPU heavy systems. The BLAS layer keeps getting rewritten but otherwise the bulk of the simulators still works.

> An EV gets better mileage in a traffic jam than it does at highway speeds, so it's a true 150 no matter road conditions.

You don't live in snow country. While winter reduces ICE vehicles' range as well (this isn't meant as a slam against EV's), you may lose 40% of your EV's range just due to cold weather. A multi-day power outage could easily drain what remains.

Also, ice storms cause a lot of power outages. This isn't a hypothetical for large parts of the country; power outages are more frequent in the winter.

Personally, my response is a variation on "do nothing". I have propane around for cooking and heating water, and I have a clean-burning kerosene heater to help keep the house warm-ish if we can't run the furnace for an extended period of time.

The rocm stack will run on non-datacentre hardware in YMMV fashion.
