  • The TL;DR for the article is that the headline isn’t exactly true. At this moment in time their PPU can potentially double a CPU’s performance - the 100x claim comes with the caveat of “further software optimisation”.


    Tbh, I’m sceptical of the caveat. It feels like me telling someone I can only draw a stickman right now, but I could paint the Mona Lisa with some training.

    Of course that could happen, but it’s not very likely to - so I’ll believe it when I see it.

    Having said that they’re not wrong about CPU bottlenecks and the slowed rate of CPU performance improvements - so a doubling of performance would be huge in this current market.



  • Copa and Cogeca, the EU’s biggest farming lobby group, criticised the slim majority of ministers voting in favour of the law, calling it a “flawed proposal” that would cause legal battles in regional, national and European courts.

    I suspect this is not so much to do with the lack of clarity regarding funds as the lobby group suggested in the article, and more to do with the fact this law paints a target on the back of the Agribusinesses that hide within this “Agricooperative” lobby, who are responsible for large biodiversity losses, and carbon emissions.


  • Russia disseminating misinformation and far-right propaganda in order to destabilise a country so they can rig the political climate in their favour is basically their bread and butter at this point.

    The fact that people all around the world keep falling for this blatantly obvious strategy is why they keep doing it - it’s easier to have your enemy tear itself apart than it is to fight head on (as they’re currently finding out with Ukraine)
