The Information
Amir Efrati @ The Information 2 place · 05/28/2024 07:00 EDT

You’re going to hear the term “supercomputer” a lot in the coming months. It’s just a cool way of saying “a large cluster of servers running Nvidia chips,” but without as many words. Anyone who’s anyone in AI is going to talk about their supercomputer, and we imagine that Elon Musk will be one of them—especially after Anissa on Friday reported on his supercomputing promises involving xAI, which he has described as the anti-woke version of OpenAI.Musk just closed on $6 billion in new capital for the venture.

Специалисты проектного института «Сибирьэнергопроект» (входит в инженерный центр «СибИАЦ») столкнулись с парадоксом современного проектирования: 3D-модель, созданная для анализа и координации, в финале упиралась в ручной труд по подготовке 2D-чертежей для заказчиков.Таким образом, проектирование протяженных объектов традиционными методами стало «узким местом», значительно увеличивая сроки выпуска документации. Процесс напоминал сборку сложного механизма, после которой приходилось вручную рисовать каждую его Read more

Записки оптимизатора 1С (ч.16). Риски падения Postgres: потребление и высвобождение памяти процессами postgres

Статья родилась в ходе наблюдения за одной из систем на Postgres, что у нас на поддержке. Результаты наблюдения несколько удивили, поэтому делюсь, ибо причинно-следственные связи далеко не очевидны.Триггером к изучению, можно сказать, даже к расследованию, послужило событие, когда однажды утром сервер PG завалился, потому что процессы postgres заняли всю память.

Почему главный вопрос философии больше не имеет смысла: что квантовая физика говорит о материи и сознании

Современная наука фактически растворила дихотомию идеального и материального. Если вы откроете любой учебник по философии, то почти гарантированно найдёте там раздел о "главном вопросе": что первично - материя или сознание, бытие или идея? Тысячи лет мыслители делятся на два лагеря, спорят, уточняют, создают подвиды материализма и идеализма. Но что, если сам вопрос сформулирован некорректно? Что если реальность устроена так, что эта бинарная оппозиция просто перестаёт работать на фундаментальном уровне?Совр Read more
