But data centers in the sea...
Legendary!
Re:It's Mainframes All the Way Down on Tuesday November 04, 2025 @02:53PM (#45815217)
Makes me wanna start working on mainframes. Where do I apply?
"AMD is determined to continue to make AI more accessible to developers and researchers that benefit from a local client-based setup for ML" it seems false. To me AMD is under investing in that regard for many years now.
Re:To catch and reverse a quantum jump mid-flight on Monday July 24, 2023 @07:12AM (#36845977)
In quantum physics, measurements can fundamentally yield discrete and random results. We experimentally demonstrate that the evolution of each completed jump is continuous, coherent and deterministic. We exploit these features, using real-time monitoring and feedback, to catch and reverse quantum jumps mid-flight—thus deterministically preventing their completion.
I remind myself of times when I had misbeliefs and why it was: false information, missing information, bad example, not so good teacher or book, wrong crowd expecting the wrong thing, so I did what was expected not correct or smart. We are social animals we do a lot, not because it is smart, but because it is expected or we do not care about it, so why wast energy making it smart - stupid costs us much, much less and still gets us somewhere eventually.

So I tell myself: "Yep, I've been there" or "I guess one has a reson for it(one of see above)"

If you try to read those comments here every day and try to recall what you've read ahead of reading it again, how far into the comment go?
Re:The First International Delivery Drone on Wednesday December 08, 2021 @07:45AM (#29484061)
I find this is the most making sense drone startup, is it just me?

Look how much they focus on simplicity, no new propulsion system, no wasteful batteries, nothing fancy in the fuselage and wing - nothing risky. Just apply all already existing technologies and optimize them for 1 niche in which it is badly needed.
