@filippospiga @joinmastodon I mean, I don’t get all the Titanic like panic I’m seeing around here for reasons that are becoming harder and harder to understand from this side of the ocean,

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@filippospiga @joinmastodon Why?

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@science_dot The fun has been removed tho.

Tiny weird machines spotted somewhere in Europe.

Kudos to @NotOnlyFLOPs for having brought our little #MonteCimone into compute race! Vote for @risc_v, vote for them: https://t.co/9PHfW8pJ3n. Want to know more: https://t.co/0Kd4tR16OS

@filippospiga @ISChpc @hpccouncil @e4company @BSC_CNS Turns out our very own Monte Cimone enjoys traveling quite a lot @e4company @LucaBeniniZhFe @_abartolini_

@brendangregg Time to shout at some Ponte Vecchio. Congrats!

TIL: Ken Thompson actually invented Spotify back in the 90s

@nickblack Same here. Watched the whole thing again 20 years later and still no idea about what was going on.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

Quite a wild ride.

I am super excited to announce officially Monte Cimone, the first rack-mount RISC-V cluster with a fully operational #opensource HPC software stack running! Designed by @pulp_platform (@unibo) @e4company and @Cineca1969 #RISCV https://t.co/3kR4LeJddj

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@StuartJames800 @heimbergecon Agreed. I don't know about the historical origins of this self disparaging attitude but it's quite clear that in the last 20 years it has been functional to push some EU related policies along the lines of we don't know how to rule ourselves, people in Brussels know better.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@pulp_platform Congrats!

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@tvaneerd @chandlerc1024 @dyaroshev Nice discussion, thanks. One example I was thinking about is mdspan: all the ops needed by a md array view are available in IRs (e.g.: MLIR shape), but I'm not sure a compiler could deduce that kind of high level semantic transforms straight from a complex stl implementation.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@timur_audio Looks spot on 👌

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@lexfridman @jimkxa @elonmusk @karpathy @clattner_llvm @jordanbpeterson Amazing conversation. Thanks for making it happen.

@modocache Never used an M1 but my 2020 i7 13" pro is inexplicably sluggish in many desktop tasks. This is weird bc in other workloads (e.g. building llvm) it's brilliant. Something's definitely wrong, I suspect it has something to do with underpowered icelake gpu.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@filippospiga I see what you did there.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@ilpropheta Wow, they even provide something similar to Go's killer feature 'select'. Nice catch!

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@kehoste @filippospiga I bet the same dev is the one who wrote the error message.

[Federico Ficarelli @fficarelli]

@llvmweekly sorry for bothering but I'm encountering some server errors while subscribing a new email address of mine, could you look into it pls? My PMs are open, many thanks!
