Why Supercomputers Use Linux Instead Of Windows Or macOS - BGR
Linux turns 35 years this year, and it still runs most supercomputers. The reasons include superior task scheduling, flexibility, and kernel-level control.

We have supercomputers in our pockets made of magic sand but iOS updates still take up to an hour for no reason

torvalds is responsible for making sure an OS used on everything from dinky little embedded systems to supercomputers and space ships work
yeah! what is it about them? 🤔

The big models do not run on computers that are like your laptop. They are specialist and extremely expensive machines, not just because they are running *so many* requests at once, but because running *any* requests on models that large requires what are functionally supercomputers

Supercomputers in their pockets

There is a zero chance that Anthropic's most capable models will be able to extract their own model and run in the wild, because those supercomputers essentially only exist in datacenters. For all practical purposes those models can't run on normal computers, even distributed regular computers

"Linux runs supercomputers, why not your desktop" is the same statement as "nuclear power runs aircraft carriers, why not your bicycle"
UX and software compatibility.

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.

But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.

Guess where the new plants will be placed:

So here’s the scoop: Prosecutors have charged four individuals — two Americans and two Chinese nationals with secretly smuggling hundreds of Nvidia chips and ten HP supercomputers from the US to China.

if you haven't learned a fun fact today you can borrow the one i learned: seymour cray, designer of cray supercomputers, attributed his success and groundbreaking ideas to "the elves (who) will often come to me with solutions to my problem" while digging in the tunnel he made under his house

Turns out there's a reason scientists never just outfitted rockets with their own supercomputers! Who knew?

Modern supercomputers require about 20 million watts to perform the same amount of computation as one human brain. The human brain requires about 20 watts.
Don't tell me AIs are cheaper than human beings.
They only look cheap because they get more subsidies than any thing else in human history.

The AI cult redux:

1. Nvidia makes graphics cards (GPUs) that are essentially very fast numerical supercomputers.

2. Bitcoin/blockchain happened. To "earn" BtC you have to crunch lots of numbers as fast as possible.

3. People bought so many GPU cards that there was a global shortage ...
