Eh? The point of the Pocket was to be as compact as possible. This looks at least 50% thicker than a stock Pocket due to that extra compartment on the top half of the clamshell.

I mean it is technically impressive (by which I mean the technical skill is neat), but totally missing the point from an ergonomics or user-oriented perspective

You’re being just as obnoxious as anyone else here. You want others to get over their superfluous headline (which is not only this headline, just one of many, hence the comments on it), but you can’t get over others reacting to the headline.

Not really, but maybe they should have said "everyone who is interested in retro tech and Gameboy pockets", but I think they assume people not interested in those things would realize the article wasn't written with them in mind, and they'd move on. W00ps guess not. Got some redditors screaming how much they "hate" it.

Supercomputers cost a lot of money and are generally funded for specific reasons. Supercomputers are generally not very general purpose, but rather particularly built to be as good as possible at one class of task. Some computers will have a lot of CPUs, some will have a lot of GPUs, some will have a lot of both, and some will have completely different types of units that are custom built for a specific task.

It all depends on the supercomputer, but some aren't designed to excel at the ML algorithms. Any of them will do wayyyy better than your home computer due to their processing power, but many will be relatively inefficient.

My former employer would run simulations for new models of their products (ex: identify design flaws in aerodynamics). Every ounce of power reduced the lead time to get all our results for a given model / design iteration. I don’t understand anything that was actually going on there, but I know that our lead times highly depended on the “super power” 😅
