TIL how the old #Cray #supercomputer worked. Apparently it would run the same sequence of instructions over many different data sets at the same time. It could do lots of math in a hurry, but only if it was lots of the *same* math.

It could also run ordinary one-thing-at-a-time software like Unix, but then it wasn't any faster than an ordinary one-thing-at-a-time CPU like the Motorola 68000.

This all sounds awfully familiar. Isn't that how GPUs work?

Brace yourselves #Britain, PM #KeirStarmer's challenged his teams: "set the challenge to all of my teams: show me how they can use AI - not just in the output of government, not just in partnership with yourselves and others in the delivery of services - but also in the very way we do government. How can we transform what we do?"

Es gibt die Erzählung, dass Steve Jobs mal Seymour Cray erzählte, dass Apple eine Cray besäße und benutzen würde, um Apple-Computer zu entwickeln. Der für seinen trockenen Humor bekannte Cray soll darauf entgegnet haben, dass er seine Crays auf einem Apple entwickelt. Zumindest die erste Hälfte der Geschichte ist verbrieft. Apple hat 1986 eine Cray X-MP/48 gekauft und für das Engineering benutzt: archive.org/details/bitsavers_ #vintagecomputing #cray #apple #techhistory #technikgeschichte

Rebuild the photo wall thingie. Now using two geonodes to generate the frames and the glass for the portrait and landscape photos and another geonode to generate the photos to the wall. I also rotate them very slightly, these imperfections make it much more realistic. Another change is the amber to green monitor output, which matches with the next video after this one.
Poor little MacBookAir has to render the whole 1800 frames now. #blender #b3d #cray #vintagecomputing
