xAI's Colossus cluster is typically Musk:
- Claims there are 100 000 Nvidia H100s, but the facility only has power for 50 000
- So Musk's company was operating nearly 20 gas combustion turbines without the proper permits to try to increase available power
- The chosen location, an old manufacturing plant, is one of the last places they would want to put expensive hardware, said Microsoft and Nvidia executives.

Hello #python folk! I have a multiprocessing question - is it possible to create a Pool(), call complex_function using pool.apply_async while passing the pool object, and then using the same pool call nested_complex_function using pool.apply_async from within complex_function?

“Israel is importing the same war tactics it has been using in Gaza into the West Bank to crush the Palestinian resistance, to crush Palestinian liberation aspirations, and most importantly, to collectively punish Palestinian society.”

“There is no excuse for the ruthless destruction of civilian infrastructure.” It is part of Israel’s strategy to drive more Palestinians from their homes and ultimately “swallow the entire West Bank”.

NTN - Space for 5G and 6G

Connectivity is the invisible fabric that binds our increasingly digital world together. Most of us have experienced the disruptions caused by slow internet or its absence in remote areas. ESA acknowledges the importance of 5G and 6G technologies in ensuring reliable and comprehensive connectivity across Europe and beyond.

After a year of testing, ESA’s Hera asteroid mission for planetary defence is about to depart Europe and head towards its launch site in the USA. The Hera team looked on as the crated spacecraft – along with its twin miniature CubeSats and additional equipment – was driven away from ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

Beauty and Art: 1750-2000 by Elizabeth Prettejohn, 2005

What do we mean when we call a work of art "beautiful"? How have artists responded to changing notions of the beautiful? Which works of art have been called beautiful, and why? Fundamental and intriguing questions to artists and art lovers, but ones that are all too often ignored in discussions of art today.

Odon Elorzaren 'Twitter europar publikoa" beharbada ez da hain ideia ona sustatu.eus/1723279368
in reply to Sustatu albisteak

asko gustatu zait. Ez dut zabalduko, ez nagoelako Bing eta X.com-eko edukiak zabaltzearen alde, baina oso interesgarria, Sustatu.
in reply to txerren 🇵🇸

uste dut Odon oker dagoela sare zentralizatu bat proposatzean, nahiz eta hura publikoa izan; horrek ez luke ziurtatuko erabiltzaileen kontrolpean egotea. Hori baita demokratikoena, nire ustez.

Pena bat da blogean iruzkinak desgaituta izatea. Azpimarratuko nioke Europako Batzordeak sare deszentralizatuak ezagutzen dituela, eta gaur egun esperimentatzen ari dela Mastodoneko bere instantziarekin (ec.social-network.europa.eu/ab…).

Bide hori lan ildo interesgarria izan liteke. 1/3

La Casa Bianca pubblica l'ultimo piano per proteggere una componente chiave di Internet: la sicurezza del routing Internet

I funzionari dell'amministrazione USA hanno lanciato l'allarme: una serie di regole tecniche per l'instradamento dei dati su Internet, note come Border Gateway Protocol, sono un bersaglio per gli hacker e gli Stati Uniti non sono ancora in grado di proteggerle.
Il processo di miglioramento segue le misure adottate dalla FCC e da altri.
