Yes, for over a decade now and it's already available in the cloud. It's a spinn-off of human brain project. Search for spinnaker neuromorphic computing.

Don't worry, you're just getting old. It happens to all of us. At some point we simply stop being excited about new shiny things and start to prefer stuff we know and rely on. In especially bad cases, some start seeing new shiny t

Yeah, saw this ... was hoping that there's a torrent of it somewhere already. Or something.

I'm baffled by the fact that NUMA is still an issue in 2026. My impression is that this was all solved back in dotcom era already on those big SUNs. At least in HPC we solved this already in mid 2000s. Why is supposedly modern world st

Cool (literally ;) Now they just need to find something that will work on Venus.

To add on this, what I see gaining traction are "workflow managers", tools that let people specify flow of data through various tools. These can figure out how to parallelize things on their own so users are not burdened with this

All these fancy HPC languages are all nice and dandy, but the hard reality I see on our cluster is that most of the work is done in Python, R and even Perl and awk. MPI barely reached us and people still prefer huge single machines to prope

DB of known proteins is not where the money can be made, designing new proteins is. This is why AlphaFold3 (that can aid in this) is now wrapped in layers of legalese preventing you to actually use it in the way you want. At least that&

Servers? I thought they left even racks behind, they're now selling these "AI factories".

Wow, google suddenly looks much better. How do we make this change permanent? (not a joke)

VR situation was much worse. On the hardware where 2020 was OKish, 2024 was unplayable.

Yeah ... by now 2020 reached a beta quality, still plenty of bugs left to squash but most of them are minor. 2024 on the other side ... is just transitioning from tech demo to alpha quality. It needs a few more years to reach beta and then

Been using lvm cache since about 2017 in high performance storage environment. Didn't like it much as it was too much of a blask box back then and didn't have any knobs to tune to adjust its behavior to the workload and we had ple

Hedgehog's dilema. Interacting today with random average human being leads in 99% to such a painful disappointing conclusion that I got PTSD from it. Just being within a line of sight of another human being makes me nervous and looking

And how does that lead to colorful flashing pattern that "collapses" some 30 seconds after it appears?

Yes, this makes magic on real hardware and I see it do nothing on emulators. So something really funny must be going on here ...

I still don't get what POKE 23641,194 RUN does on zx spectrum. And you get different patterns for different values, say 197. And wait for a minute or so to see something even more interesting.

Why not just call it swamp? It would better describe the python ecosystem mess ;) Jokes aside, this feels very meta: package manager for a package manager for a package manager. Reminds me of the old RFC1925: "you can always add anothe

Soooooo happy that my mail client is not even on the list here. It automatically strips out anything remotely looking like html and it sends out plain text emails only, as email was designed to be and should still be. Anyone sending me css

Very well in fact, you have to look at the whole drivetrain efficiency, not just the motor. Elaphe has a webinar on this topic on their youtube channel, look it up.
