Foxconn is already doing arcologies. Workers never have to leave the company's premises. I don't know whether they already include graveyards.

The list of robbed Bitcoin exchanges is long and growing. In almost all cases the stolen coin can be traced (since all transactions are public thanks to the protocol). I wonder if the running exchanges have some sort of blacklist that detects whether previously stolen funds get moved to their wallets and if they will confiscate those.

...or humor.

For the curious: here is a link to Sumo, which is a real, scientific traffic simulation software developed by the DLR in Germany.

Computing has always been tiered: a small elite which pioneers what ultimately tickles down to the masses. When the first abacus was made, not everyone was able to use it. But when the masses learned to use it, the Mesopotamian elite already had adopted written language for accounting (sorry, only the German Wiki page contains said info). The first computers were all elitist devices. The masses were using tables to approximate sin/cos/log etc.

Today we call this elite supercomputers. Techniques developed for these eventually get adopted for mainstream hardware. The GPUs we have today are essentially modeled after the vector CPUs used in the supercomputers of the 1980s.

You're right though, that there is a feedback between both: the mainstream with its incredible volume drives manufacturing. As we approach the 7nm wall, manufacturing is becoming increasingly expensive. Only mass markets can finance the required R&D. Supercomputing is increasingly taking advantage of mainstream tech. E.g. ORNL's Titan is based on NVIDIA Tesla K20x GPUs, which technically aren't your average gamer GPUs, but the chips are essentially spin-offs of these.

Sorry, typo...

Thanks.

Yeah, OpenCL is a different thing. But if you talk to laymen, they will often repeat the marketing speed that you take your OpenMP(!) code written for traditional multi-cores, recompile and enjoy... Not true, in my experience.

I wonder how nice these will be to program. The "just recompile and run" promise for Knights Corner was little more than a cruel joke: to get any serious performance out of the current generation of MICs you have to wrestle with vector intrinsics and that stupid in-order architecture. At least the latter will apparently be dropped in Knights Landing.

For what it's worth: I'll be looking forward to NVIDIA's Maxwell. At least CUDA got the vectorization problem sorted out. And no: not even the Intel compiler handles vectorization well.

With some cities existing for >1000 years and having been dug over in WW2, there is often no knowing of what to expect when digging through the underground. Recently a builder operating a digger was killed by a WW2 era dud. Experts estimate that there are still 100k duds lying around and each year about 5k are being found.

...to the second picture.

BTW: I just had a look at your website and I'd hazard the guess that there are almost as many typos as words on it. What's your "professional agenda" behind those? ;-)

Since you seem to believe that a simple typo represents a fallacy, I dare say that your conclusion "Ruby is in serious declining" is a fallacy by itself: in your link Ruby's curve appears to be rather stable (2% over the past 5 years). In my world decline means something different.

You're right though that your search terms are more suitable.
