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.

The link is Intel's own website. Has excellent quotes on it like:

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.

Intel was chosen because the DoE wanted to foster an entire ecosystem of GPU vendors, because having a single vendor is a MASSIVE bottleneck.

Intel, AMD, and Nvidia were all vendors on Exascale projects [0]

> Intel is dog shit

Intel has issues with execution, but their engineers are still top notch. They are the last American company to actually do semiconductor fabrication, and only fell behind TSMC and Samsung in fabrication only 6-7 years ago because they didn't choose to invest in EUV lithography instead of other methods.

Case in point, Intel’s discrete consumer GPUs: They’re making major gains with each driver release, and I hope to see them seriously competing with nvidia in the gaming market.

A solution can always be achieved by spending more money.™ Rather than engineering for economic scale, engineer for maximizing billable hours and make yourself indispensable. - Consultant's credo

With all of the taxpayer money they've wasted so far, they could've bought zillions of Cerebras WSE-3 and exceeded 10 exaflops.

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?

You are able to add custom questions yes. Currently it's a paid feature but happy to hear feedback!

My favorite part is that this guy works at Canonical.

Yes, had he been a Fedora maintainer working at Red Hat everyone would be applauding him for his bold decision.

The mods deserve it. You or I would not be unbanned so easily.

I'm a US citizen and there is a significant risk that I will be detained and held hostage if I travel to Moscow.

I don't think is wise even if you had written guarantees from their state via the business, because how your state might look at it.

It's a war, things have changed.

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?

I use SecureCRT which has a session logging feature: https://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html

Yes, it includes both commands entered into the terminal and also all output or whatever gets put on the screen.

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

Pretty much no. They would rather do almost anything else than be forced to change business models.

I didn't say it wouldn't be capable, only that having some certainty can help.

Why did this post completely disappear from nearly the top of the front page? It's not even in the top 200.

more comments (and mutliple gray) than upvotes is a sure fire way to speed its drop.

I had to search for this post to find it after it suddenly disappeared.

another unfounded assumption: my unfounded assumption of it being related to plastics as the first substantive comment.

I've noticed that health, fitness, and nutrition related articles on HN tend to get filled with low-quality quackery, like "this diet worked for me" and "this cleanse removes toxins" and "red meat is the obvious culprit" and so on. Not a lot of us have medical degrees, so these comment sections turn into opinion fights.

controversial filter kicked in. hckrnews.com is the only actual interface to HN

Dang. He certainly called it.
