• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are super-computers used for ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a PhD student and several of my classmates use computing clusters in their work. These types of computers typically have a lot of CPUs, GPUs, or both. The types of simulations they do are essentially putting a bunch of atoms or molecules in a box and seeing what happens in order to get information which is impossible to obtain experimentally. However, there are plenty of other uses.

  The clusters we have would have dozens of these CPUs or GPUs and users would submit jobs to it which would run simultaneously. AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel and Nvidia GPUs have Cuda, which is incorporated into a lot of the software people use for these.

  Being able to take multiple of the same class is also nice. One thing that was annoying in vermintide is if you’re playing with friends and two or more people want to play the same character (Bardin and Saltzpyre were common for us).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If snap benefits are paid for where are the funds going?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paradox announced the updated, expanded, and remastered Surviving Mars: Relaunched⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the original surviving mars’ history, I’m guessing they’ll fuck everything up with an update 6 months from now and not give the opportunity to roll back. Then a few months later they’ll release a patch to fix only some of it

  It seems this may be to cover up the bad news that Take Two/2K have changed their ToS to essentially make all their games spyware.
