Europe to have 2 of the 4 most powerful supercomputers as Leonardo comes online

Re: Leonardo DiCaprio?
Assuming you're not joking...
You could start off with this MPI tutorial and then move onto learning how to programme chip vector units and / or GPUs...
Jaguar Land Rover courts coders caught in big tech layoffs
Tuesday 22nd November 2022 12:18 GMT
Re: Need more than coders
As I said before, I was told about an hour before I posted the above by a Landrover garage that the parts shortage has hit them so hard that their delivery times or something like a year or more and yes, they admitted that the specs of the car that you order might change in that time, as can the price (and no, don't expect it to be less).
Is this the same Jaguar who came on here to say how great graph databases are for supply chains?

Re: Widen the optical
"We as an industry get hung up on looking for folks who have been there, done that, and want talent to jump in and hit the ground running," he continued. "We need to slow down a bit and widen the optical on what represents new talent to bring into the field."

Lately, the Who, Me? stories seem to be very old. Some may find the following explanations disturbing.* El Reg's readership is very old
* The younger generation is smarter, more skilful, and less prone to making mistakes.
Or maybe people only want to share old screwups to not risk their current employment and/or being sued for confidentiality reasons by their current or recent employer...

Multi-factor auth fatigue is real – and it's why you may be in the headlines next
Friday 4th November 2022 10:55 GMT
The default behaviour of phones' 2FA alerts also lends itself to theft. In London there's a thief (thieves?) who steal women's phones and credit cards and then rack up a huge number of purchases.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin: If Musk's Twitter flops, it's not such a bad thing

The founder revealed that before the switch, Ethereum was consuming the same amount of electricity as an average wealthy country of three million people."Now Ethereum consumes less energy than most mainstream – even centralized – web services that everyone uses today." ®
Still too much...
And the CO2 from that "country" is still floating around the atmosphere heating the earth...

A next-gen AI protein folder that could help science? Meta's good for something
Wednesday 2nd November 2022 10:54 GMT
The model was able to create the ESM Metagenomic Atlas, predicting over 600 million structures from the MGnify90 protein database in just two weeks running on 2,000 GPUs. On a single Nvidia V100 GPU, it takes just 14.2 seconds to simulate a protein made up of 384 amino acids. It seems from the paper that Meta said its system mostly, but not fully, matched AlphaFold on accuracy though its speed is the key thing, allowing it to predict more proteins.
So showing off mostly - actual scientists can only use models that are reasonably accurate...
The boss worked in a fishbowl, so office tricks were a treat

For the benefit of younger readers, it's worth noting that this was an era when telephones did not fit in your pocket, but sat in a more or less fixed location on the desk, and you operated them using a handset that was attached with a length of coiled wire a meter or so long. Yes, it's all very primitive.
You've made me feel old!

Back in the UK our landline had a constant ticking noise (annoying whilst talking on the phone, but killed the ADSL). I rang BT and the lady told me that her system said the line was fine. I pointed out the ticking noise and she laughed and then got someone to look into it which fixed it. Thankfully she had the sense to ignore the system and get stuff fixed...

Re: The National Health Service
Pharmacist wife, (was NHS county head level), and her friends from University who now work for big Pharma, all say that there is no money to be made from curing people. The money is to be made by keeping people going as long as possible and using their drugs.
Anyone who has ever taken a short course of antibiotics to completely cure an infection knows that this is bollocks
I've heard of at least 2 drugs that in the initial trials cured people of the illnesses, but were not progressed further by big Pharma, as if successful, that would dry up one of their best revenue streams.

I work in research for one of the big pharma and the aim is generally to cure.

And while I do kinda miss that quest to find new music, I do like Spotify suggesting new stuff, and being able to just try it, right there.
Yeah, in a way I miss listening to John Peel, The Evening Session etc on Radio 1 to find new music. In theory I could listen to Radio 6, but I find most of the DJs irritating....
Lufthansa bans Apple AirTags on checked bags
Tuesday 11th October 2022 13:27 GMT
Re: How many baggage handlers carry an iPhone?
I flew through Heathrow last month with a bike (ie too big for their normal conveyor belt) and there was an Airtag in the bag. My phone claimed the bike was with me for over quarter of an hour before it was brought into the luggage room. I assume that it was dumped on the side for a while...
