@cark The History Channel did a series called "Hunting Hitler" where some guys investigated rumors that Hitler escaped to South America. They went from Germany to Spain to Argentina to Brazil:

I rate it as interesting and maybe plausible, but far from conclusive.

The monarch's choice of headgear raised eyebrows on social media on Thursday with theories her blue hat was a subtle show of support for the EU.
Or, just putting this out there as a crazy theory, she chose it because it matched her outfit.
Convention dictates that the Royal Family always remains politically neutral

In the department of buried ledes: OMG AMD is putting out a new 32 core server chip that will CHANGE THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
Oh, but it's really just a 4-socket 8 core CPU all stuck in one socket, with only dual channel memory for each bank.
I wonder if any tech enthusiasts are going to get burned by using those amazing new CPUs for a massive SQL workload (or some other CPU/Memory intensive process that's NUMA aware), and then finding out that their shiny new 8 NUMA node system needs some extra TLC for handling SQL guests on it.

From the article:
Agents with the international police force Interpol began following the collector, and with a judicial order raided the house on June 8.
A large bookshelf caught their attention and behind it agents found a hidden passageway to a room filled with Nazi imagery.
I can't help but wonder, did they pull out one specific book to make it slide aside?

Short answer: because schools and employers are more interested in dress code than the health and comfort of their students and workers.

"We're thinking of something that's unique, we're talking about the southern border, lots of sun, lots of heat. We're thinking about building the wall as a solar wall, so it creates energy and pays for itself. And this way, Mexico will have to pay much less money, and that's good, right?"
"Solar wall, panels, beautiful. I mean actually think of it, the higher it goes the more valuable it is. Pretty good imagination right? Good? My idea."

Yes. Hospitals.

The s are getting law degrees now :o

The lawsuits even acknowledge that lumber industry standards dictate that a nominal lumber dimensions are — and have been for nearly a century — slightly larger than the actual dimensions.
That alone should get the cases thrown out.
-
@RaceProUK yeah... industry standard is that the dimensions stated are for the rough-cut lumber. A 2x4 starts its life by being cut into (roughly) 2" by 4"... then it is planed and sanded so it has nice smooth, uniform edges. Naturally it's a bit smaller then.

"4x4" doesn't specify a unit. They might as well sue for those boards not having four-wheel drive.

32 cores is quite a lot, especially for non-embedded (keeping things cool is a big problem). Even just packaging 4 8-core CPUs together will have quite a few advantages, as communications within a package is quite a lot more efficient than across the motherboard. If nothing else, the capacitances within a package are inevitably lower, so comms between processors (e.g., for locking and coordination) will be faster and less power hungry.
No idea what sort of workload would actually make best use of this.
-
@dkf
The ideal workload would be a hypervisor host for "smallish" application servers (such that the servers don't need more than 512GB RAM per 16 vCPU cores - aka threads - allocated).That way you don't have to deal with NUMA bullshit or hope that AMD's Infinity Fabric actually matches the marketing bullshit.

Compiling the Unreal Engine. Well, the compiling part anyways, cooking and packaging are still single-threaded.

Yes, exactly. Also the shader-compiler.

@cark that was about 10 blocks east of my house!

The French inventor of the bikini named it after the Pacific nuclear test site Bikini Atoll, in the hopes that it would create an "explosive commercial and cultural reaction" like the newly developed atom bomb.
TIL.
