The web developers at my company would still find a way to exhaust all of those resources.

Web applications/views are so shitty these days. So heavy, lazy "responsive", ripe with trash and ads.

Javascript was a mistake.

But can it run Crysis?

I'm happy they will use it to solve the most important problems of our life, and it will be useful for humanity as a whole

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will use the system to modernize the US nuclear arsenal by simulating explosions to eliminate the need for underground detonations and simulate aging effects, safety, and reliability of the nuclear stockpile. The system will also be used to develop two new ICBM designs.

Oh at least it's not some AI bullshit, but physics and simulations.

The system will be used for HPC and AI workloads, or a fusion of the two.

Yes, but can it run Symantec AV?

It comes with a 30 day trial of Norton pre-installed

Lmao. Btw I thought the lemmy.one admin was MIA, do you know about that?

Dima@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yeah, doubt I know any more than you, I've been meaning to move off lemmy.one due to his absence, but only recently got around to setting up an account on another instance.

Lemmy.one recently had an error loading posts, but it seems like it might be working again after a few days. The admin seems to have been active recently on Mastodon, but this isn't the first extended period of him being MIA from Lemmy, if it wasn't for the fact that the instance seems to be on the latest version of Lemmy and working again, I would have said that it was abandoned and likely to break permanently at some point.
