Re: 4TB of ram?
> One large environment I worked in recently still had an E880 with 192 cores and 4TB of RAM (upgradeable to 32TB I should add) as the main OLTP platform
But can it run Crysis?

With Alphabet's legendary commitment to products, we can't wait to see what its robotics biz Intrinsic achieves
Sunday 25th July 2021 09:56 GMT 
Re: "the AI can work out the best way to achieve its goal"
Intrinsic might be an interesting experiment in applied computing science, but I doubt companies will want their expensive equipment "finding out" how to do the one thing they were bought for.
I guess the vendor of the robots might be more interested though

> Be honest; did you actually use FTP in a web browser?
Yes, a lot of scientific datasets are available using FTP, and it was more convenient to look at the directories in a browser than firing up an FTP client. If downloading more than a couple of files then I'd usually find the path in a browser and then automate with LFTP though.

Seoul adopts AI for suicide prevention on Han Bridge: Uni boffins train machine learning model on rescue teams' data
Thursday 1st July 2021 11:41 GMT 
Unfortunately, only counting suicide attempts from Seoul bridges, researchers said there are an average of 486 people trying to end their lives in the Han's waters every year, translating to a large amount of required rescue resources.

Re: What gen?
my main Windows desktop has an i5-3570. That's 3rd gen, I think. It works with Win 10.device. I also have a GT 710 video card. Needless to say, I don't play Call of Duty or Crisis on this machine.
I have the same CPU, I upgraded the GPU to a GTX2060 when Corona kicked off (in case I needed to spend a lot of time indoors) and it's good for games like Far Cry 5.
The only time I wish it was more powerful is when I run Lightroom. If I could actually buy an AMD Ryzen 9 I'd probably upgrade though.

Re: Diplomacy
> Especially a ship which could take out 40 odd aircraft in one go.
The RN has so few destroyers that the losing one[0] would be a massive blow to the Navy and would have all sorts of bad impacts on operations. I don't think they'd seriously want to put one in harm's way.
[0] by which I mean being blow up, not breaking down again...
UK urged to choo-choo-choose hydrogen-powered trains in pursuit of carbon-neutral economic growth
Friday 25th June 2021 08:26 GMT
Re: Huh
The problem is that it is very expensive to retrofit the required electrical infrastructure, and on some lines, like the one through to Aberystwyth, the volume of traffic doesn't come close to justifying that that investment.
To be fair they've only just accepted those horseless carriage things there, so this electrickery stuff might be a step too far...
US Navy starts an earthquake to see how its newest carrier withstands combat conditions
Thursday 24th June 2021 08:01 GMT
Re: Russian's provide stress test for Royal Navy ship
The RN is so short of destroyers[0] that I can imagine them not being put anywhere near harm's way for a long time in order to have more than zero with the aircraft carriers[1]
[0] Especially ones that haven't broken down.
[1] Probably one of the reasons why the QE has American and Dutch escorts too
