#Europe Takes Another Whack At Homegrown Compute Engines
Digital Autonomy with #RISCV in Europe, Project "#DARE" is very much focused on #HPC even if it does have potential #AI use cases. Funded by #EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the same pan-European organization that has funded pre-exascale and #exascale systems. A total of 38 different organizations, have joined up to work collaboratively on three different RISC-V compute engines.

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

Alex Ball does a Don’t You Want Me Cover. That much is not new, what is new is that he apart from the original synths and drum machine also uses the original sequencer. All in all it sounds eerily similar to the original. Hours and hours of programming apparently. Also still one of my absolutely fovourite songs ever.

❓ Have you ever wondered how data encryption works and what's the difference between data-at-rest and data-in-use? If yes, check out our latest blog post on Data At Rest Encryption (#DARE).

Simplyblock provides data-at-rest encryption with a fully multi-tenant DARE feature set, which means that you can encrypt multiple logical volumes (virtual block devices) with the same key or one key per logical volume.

Watching the "Solar System" presented by Prof. Brian Cox and in this last episode about Strange Worlds, Brian Cox was discussing the rings of Saturn. As a nice touch when referring to the tracks on a vinyl disk the album he was holding was by the group on which Brian himself was the keyboardist at that time. The title track was "Sound of Silence" ...

I'm thinking about #SolarPunk right now and I notice a big problem in starting anything communal... Especially in my social circle, a lot of people work white collar jobs and put a lot of importance in their jobs. That means, they will move to a different city for a better job, but not for friends and barely for a partner. And with this prioritization, it is hard to commit to a communal project. You can never be sure that someone won't just move 1000km away for a job. And this creates a sort of deadlock, I think. Nobody dares commit, because they can't be sure the others do too...

And also, I think it requires a lot of bravery to try a different kind of living, when you don't know if it will work out and the "standard" way of leading your life is already pretty uncertain for a lot of people in my generation...

In any case... To all my #friends: Let's build a communal living space and just hang out all day. Fucking #dare to do it!

Irvine Police Department unveils its new first-of-its kind Tesla Cybertruck abc7.com/post/irvine-police-de

This is how you know the pigs in the US have way too much money. Honestly, I thought #DARE was scrapped years ago. At least the #Cybertruck is a fitting vehicle for DARE. They both cost a fortune, and failures at their intended uses.
