Yandex says drone strikes left 2.84% of its cloud customers’ data unrecoverable.
The early-October attacks on three Yandex data centers also forced the company to evacuate three supercomputers used to train foundational language models. 1/6

The Mac-based Virginia Tech supercomputers
Stephen Hackett has a great, in-depth history of that time Virginia Tech built one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers out of Macs—twice: Tech tore down the Power Mac version of System X in January 2004 and rebuilt it with Xserve G5s that summer. ECC memory was a big part of the reason. As the school put it: “We needed to upgrade the system to something with error correcting code (ECC) RAM. The Power Macs did not support it and the XServes were coming.” The new array was made up of 1,100 dual 2.3 GHz Xserve G5 servers and six...

Is AI going to eat HPC? Simon McIntosh-Smith, the director of one of the world's largest supercomputers, has an opinion on this and it's worth listening to what he thinks. He bet on Arm when they ran traffic lights. Now they run supercomputers. He may possess a crystal ball.

One thing I’m puzzled by is what national security secrets Jensen Huang might reasonably have possessed. Perhaps supplying classified supercomputers, but except to the extent we’ve declared NVIDIA trade secrets national security secrets, I can’t imagine.

I'm Mike, an astrophysicist who tries to understand how the tiny density fluctuations seeded by cosmic inflation evolved to give us galaxies (and ultimately life). I use pen and paper, and the biggest supercomputers available, to understand how dark matter, dark energy, and normal matter interact.

And to repeat what NEEDS to be repeated, the AI driving all this madness IS NOT the AI the tech bros keep telling us will advance society.
That stuff only needs a few dedicated supercomputers. Data Centers are for harvesting and monetizing the vast volume of OUR data and eliminating OUR jobs!
