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 things as threat to the stability of their lives.

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

Where can this 1tb k3.waste be downloaded?

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 still wasting time on this? Kernel these days exposes just about everything you would ever want to know about a system topology and every runtime should be making use of that information. If it does not, I cannot consider it ready for this century.

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 task.

So from what I see actual programming language doesn't matter as much as how the work is organized. Anything helping people simplify this task is of immediate benefit to the science.

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 proper distributed computing. Yeah, bioinformatics is from another planet.

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's what my lifescience users tell me. Big Pharma is now paying Big Money to DeepMind to make use of AF3 ...

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

Afaik Intel's first foray into this territory was their i960mx which ended up in F-22.

In performance per watt? One ;)

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.
