Beat me to it. Saw the ‘lodestar’ and immediately thought “Hmm, either Erwin Raphael was the author of the NYT op-ed on Trump, or they both use the same word-a-day calendar.”

Concept:

Let us know what—and who—you want to see in this space.

I know the compute side of things will always be the sexiest, but how about a shout-out for the massively parallel file system needed to feed the beast? Behind Summit there is 250PBs of storage serving 2.5 terabytes per second from 32,494 disks presented as a single file system.

I said I didn’t completely disagree. I think that the US could benefit from a graduated licensing class that takes power-to-weight (and gross weight — re: SUVs) into account, with corresponding education and testing to prove a driver has the competency to handle such a vehicle.

Email subject on Monday morning, “The person mining Ethereum on Summit please STOP!”

As a computer engineer, it irks me that these clusters are advertised as “supercomputers.” The supercomputer has been dead for decades. These are commodity servers with slightly tweaked GPU cards and low katency network cards (probably Infiniband) installed. Stack as many as you can afford in a datacenter to produce…

I’ve seen that warning on plenty of receipts. I uploaded the receipt, and all I did was highlight where it says “PREM” and blacked out the digits of his card.

Exactly.

So, that’s just like, your opinion.

Oh god, they thought they were being clever by using “encrypted” chat apps? Are you fucking kidding me? Anything that’s encrypted but not destroyed after it’s read is pointless. So, maybe Signal? Or go by the normal “don’t write anything down that you don’t want someone else to read” manta.

“...AFAIK, the president can pardon someone before they’re even charged for a crime, but that pardon is an admission of guilt in and of itself.”

AFAIK, the president can pardon someone before they’re even charged for a crime, but that pardon is an admission of guilt in and of itself.

President Cheeto also lacks a firm grip on the concept that these treasonous bastards need to first be convicted of crimes before he whips out his little pardon crayon. The details (the evidence) that come out in these trials should start turning the tide in getting all of them out of Washington. Like Rachel…

They’ll do it all. Some will claim he’s a rogue agent and nothing he did relates to Trump or his time as campaign manager, others will claim he’s being targeted by the “deep state” to take down dear leader. Others will claim that Mueller’s investigation is unconstitutional. Others will claim (seriously) it’s Hillary’s…

Stupid Watergate continues to lose IQ points.

Here come the Republicans defending Paul Manafort even though he committed demonstrably more treasonous crimes than the froth Rick Santorum they whipped up for Chelsea Manning or Ed Snowden.

but can you ride a Harley without becoming one of “those guys”?

You can drive a Wrangler without being that Guy, but I understand your reluctance. You can use turn signals in a BMW, and you can avoid pedestrians in a Mustang, but you will always be lumped in with the worst of the bunch.
