I went to a castle in Dunedin, New Zealand, but NZ seems to be castle-less: Larnach Castle, https://www.larnachcastle.co.nz/ . Brazil also has a few castles, although not sure if they are classified differently -- https:&#x

I work in a project with a similar goal, I think, but that was not related to AI: climate digital twins. I worked on two, EDITO (European Digital Twin of the Ocean, edito.eu), and currently on DestinE ClimateDT (Destination Earth Climate Ad

I just finished a master's on HPC where I had to take some classes on CUDA, MPI+CUDA, OpenCL. Reading an article like this before the classes would have been a lot helpful! Especially the part just before and after "What does it m

I'm finishing a masters here in Spain about HPC (uploaded the thesis last night). It's a joint program by two universities from Galicia (USC/UDC). I paid about the same the author did. The programme is great, loved the profes

Phantasy Star I was the first RPG I played when child. I remember my father showing us the basic commands, and then my brothers and I taking notes of items, magic, and drawing cave maps.

My company is involved in research and production of RISC-V-based chips in Barcelona, with partners. There is or was a partnership with Intel at some point, and I think NVIDIA collaborated in some tasks in one of the projects. But the idea

Nice post! Short and simple to read. Is epublish on GitHub or somewhere? It looks simpler than previous approaches I've seen. I had the chance to help a bit with one of the AOSA books. It was a very powerful pipeline, but also quite co

That idea is different than what most are talking here in other comments. 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.

Just got an email from one HPC I have access in Germany. I guess all HPCs ans services like GH Actions are going to be offline for a bit. I think last time was on a Friday too, so it might be another Friday to organize emails, files, rotate

I'm in my 40s too. I haven't switched roles in ~4 years, and probably won't for the next ~4, 5 years. But I have always painted and drawn as hobby. Seriously considering trying that for a short time during a sabbatical or --

It'd be useful to have a similar resource control in browsers. Maybe there is a way for an extension to achieve that? I'd be happy now if there was an easier way to find tabs consuming too much memory or cpu, like an alert or an i

That would havw saved me some time a year ago! Bookmarked for next time I use NFS. It'd be interesting if it were possible to have something for gpfs and lustrefs too. Thanks!

Congrats, the description sounds like a good mystery! It'd be interesting to read more about the tooling and process you used, even if you don't release everything open, maybe you could write/blog about it? I was also looking

I also didn't know much of the difference between the two, and I also used RSS for my Hugo site. At the bottom of the article there's, under "See Also", a link to this page comparing RSS and Atom: https://www.

With some knowledge in devops and cyber maybe moving to QA, tester could work too. But the idea to move towards agro is a good idea too!

Yeah, I considered applying once, but saw others online saying their process was long and outdated. In my case, I applied anyway, but during the screen call I asked if I would have to use Ubuntu even if I didn't use, and also their new

Yeah, I checked an Intel GPU some years ago and I think it was scoring near 1000 or below in Blender's open data. Glad it's slowly improving, although I have to check if the price is also increasing or not, although I suspect it m

I remember the announcement some years ago of the Auckland-Hamilton train. I think initially it had limited schedule, but from what I recall the usage was quite good after the launch (I think it was before or just after the pandemic). Good

That is definitely a factor, especially comparing Japan & HK with NZ.

Didn't know about these historical facts, looks like timing really contributed to the current situation in New Zealand. When I was in Auckland some years ago, I remember NZ trying to bring some railway services back, before the pandemi

That is a good point but I think it doesn't apply everywhere.that has a similar shape. New Zealand has a similar shape but without railways interconnecting cities. You cannot cross the country, the islands, or even regions by train. I

Churn of the user base could be playing a role in this, but I think it may not be too significant. In Europe there are multiple universities with HPC masters, which provide new users/devs to HPC. I worked with HPCs in New Zealand, and

I think hpc devs need an extra set of skills that are not so common. Such as parallel file systems, batch schedulers, NUMA, infiniband, and probably some domain-specific knowledge for the apps they will develop. This knowledge is also proba
