Yup, keep voting though. We will get all of our liberties back if we only just keep voting. Don’t do anything else that could restore our freedoms, oh no! Just vote. (Sarcasm over.)

What famous person does an artist draw after being asked to create a 100 TRILLION DOLLAR bank note? Yeah, a pile of rocks.

From the biography (emphasis mine):
He draws on critical race theory, women of color feminisms, and queer of color critique to conceptually and methodologically ground his scholarship, which centers historically marginalized voices in STEM higher education across intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Leyva’s research has been distinguished with awards and fellowships from the American Educational Research Association, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Mindset Scholars Network), National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation, and Vanderbilt University-Peabody College.
Here are logos of two of his “Current ‘Research’ ‘Projects’ ”:

On 2022-11-09, Intel announced its next generation of data centre CPU and GPU chips, scheduled to launch in January 2023. These chips will be used in the Aurora supercomputer under construction by the Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S., which will have more than 9000 nodes, each of which will use two CPUs and six GPUs for a total performance of two exaFLOPS and 10 petabytes of memory.
During development of these chips, the CPU was code-named “Sapphire Rapids” and the GPU “Ponte Vecchio”. Well, what did Intel decide to name them when they were officially brought to market?
That’s right, “Max Series”. Not to be confused with…
Here is a TechTechPotato video about the Max CPU and Max GPU.

A credit card is a very effective visualization of how much plastic the average person consumes each week. So, we consume the equivalent of 52 credit cards per year. Are microplastics the next public health issue, to replace smoking?

Out of interest, I did a quick search on where Intel’s “Max” chips are made. Did not find anything definitive in the limited time I had to waste.
Intel has a link about how to find the “Country of Origin” of Xeon chips, with the example being made in Malaysia. Incidentally, Malaysia is also the source of a significant part of the insulin keeping large numbers of US residents alive.
What Is the Country of Origin (COO) of an Intel® Xeon®…
But there is no problem. The Rest of the World will always be glad to exchange the real products of their hard work for freshly-printed BidenBucks.

Looks like NYP gas a numeracy problem:
The nanoplastics — which are less than 0.001 millimeters in size — and microplastics — which span 0.0001 to 5 millimeters — have the ability to change the gut microbiome composition, according to the study published in the journal Exposure & Health.

Why you always should cut and paste rather than re-key. Original:
Nanoplastics are defined as being less than 0.001 millimetre in size, while microplastics, at 0.001 to 5 millimetres, are to some extent still visible to the naked eye.

Intel has been pretty much alone in making all of its chips in its own fabrication plants, but announced last year that it would start to use outside vendors to make some of its chips (although probably not the bleeding edge top of the line products), while expanding its presence in the fabrication market for other companies, including licensing older versions of x86 processor cores to be integrated into their products made in Intel fabs.
Intel’s manufacturing is presently 80% in Asia, but when they announced “Intel Building Two Semiconductor Fabrication Plants in Germany for € 17 Billion” (2022-03-18) they said new manufacturing investment will be mostly in the U.S. and Europe, with facilities planned for Italy, France, and Poland. See also the post here on 2022-04-12, “Intel Expanding Flagship Semiconductor Fab in Oregon”.

Will the new chips provide max headroom?
4 Likes
I d—d—don’t know about headroom, but a 350 watts for the CPU and up to 600 watts for the GPU, they should do a heck of a job frying an egg. In one screenshot of a pre-release of a sample CPU, it was shown as running at 99°C, while 70° C is sufficient to fry an egg. So at least it’s max heatroom.
The Aurora supercomputer, which will have at least 20,000 Max CPUs and 60,000 Max GPUs is estimated to dissipate around 60 megawatts of heat.
