Wieso Hiobsbotschaft? Alles ist besser als das Gescholze weiterzumachen, vor allem jetzt nach dem Wahlausgang in den USA. Vielleicht wuerde dann jemand sogar soweit denken dass man die SPD fuer die Bundestagswahl mit einem Kandidaten aufstellt der eine Chance zu gewinnen hat.

Because we’re glad it is finally over after having deal with your election bullshit for the last half year? We made contingency plans for a trump win, so we acknowledged his win this morning, hope the planning is sufficient, and finally move on to something else.

Ich finde es immer noch faszinierend wie Deutschland bei Corona praktisch einmal alles komplett verkackt hat.

Bei uns hier in Finnland wurde am Anfang einfach Risikogruppen geimpft, und dann nach Alter absteigend durch die Bevoelkerung - wenn Nummer bekannt kam Terminvorschlag per SMS, ansonsten halt angeschrieben. Geimpft wurde in Impfzentren die auf hohen Durchsatz optimiert waren.

Sobald Impfstoff nicht mehr knapp wurde wurden Impfzentren an Orten eroeffnet wo die Leute eh vorbeikommen - ich hab mir die zweite Impfung schnell nach dem Wocheneinkauf im Einkaufszentrum geholt; da wurde ein leerstehender Laden dafuer genutzt, einfach reinlaufen, Spritze geben lassen, kurz warten, gehen.

It’s not just cores - it is higher performance per rack unit while keeping power consumption and cooling needs the same.

That allows rack performance upgrades without expensive DC upgrades - and AMD has been killing dual and quad socket systems from intel with single and dual core epycs since launch now. Their 128 core one has a bit too high TDP, but just a bit lower core count and you can still run it in a rack configured for power and cooling needs from over a decade ago.

Granite rapids has too high TDP for that - you either go upgrade your DC, or lower performance per rack unit.

For people who weren’t looking for a developer workstation back then: Threadripper suddenly brought the performance of a xeon workstation costing more than 20k for just a bit over 2k.

That suddenly wasn’t a “should I really invest that much money” situation, but a “I’d be stupid not to, productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so”

Just wanted to comment that this should happen faster than in a few years… and then checked the calendar

Oh, didn’t know those exist.

Also worth mentioning is that there’s a plugin for Krita which allows both generating and inpainting from inside krita. Especially for inpainting you can get incredible results by combining with proper selections from inside krita.

That applies if you’re looking at density per weight - but for most stuff driving around the interesting metric is density per volume, and hydrogen sucks there, even if we’re looking at liquid nitrogen, which is completely impractical for storage here.

To make matters worse, you’re limited to specific shapes for your pressurized tank if you want to optimize pressure it can take (and with that storage volume), while batteries you can stick in individual chunks pretty much wherever you find a bit of space.
