The article is so banal
So your "true core count" for the entire Summit supercomputer will be one if you run Dijkstra's SSSP on it?

What is the bullshit factor for your "true core count"?

That's such an american thing to say. A flu can be swine flu and fever can be Malaria or Dangue and one day delay can mean losing your life, so people in many parts of the world take fever and flu seriously.

No mention of the most famous Russian book among Indian high Schoolers: [Problems in General Physics by I E Irodov](https://www.amazon.com/Problems-General-Physics-I-Irodov/dp/...)?
Re:Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work? on Monday February 19, 2018 @07:00AM (#16412345)
Yes, it is very normal in an unstructured life, many very smart graduate students at the top universities struggle with it. It is the curse of freedom. People don't realize a regular 9-5 job gives them routine, social commitments and a visible positive feedback on a good job done in a timely manner, and a negative feedback otherwise (both positive and negative social feedback are stronger than self-awarded rewards and punishments).
