The long-term strategy behind IBM's Red Hat purchase
Brain-like neurochips good for supercomputers, not just AI, says Sandia
Friday 11th March 2022 16:00 GMT 
The Sandia researchers don't expect neuromorphic computing to dominate the future of HPC as it can be costly to move data on or off the brain-like chips when data sets get larger. But workarounds can be made — for instance, choosing to process and output summary statistics rather than raw data
This is pretty much the same as with GPUs today, where getting the data in and out of system memory is a bottleneck, the other problem is the size of the GPU memory which sets a pretty hard limit on how far you can push things.
We have redundancy, we have batteries, what could possibly go wrong?

Re: This is well beyond my knowledge and experience but....
I used to work a place where one of the labs went more exothermic than desired... Some people had to change into special clothing to perform their role.
Everyone got out quickly and safely and then over ten fire engines showed up and the fire was soon out. People were waiting in the canteen and but they weren't allowed back in until they'd proven it was safe (which ended up taking days). Those people in the specialist gear didn't have their keys with them which meant they couldn't get home. In the end I think the site head ended up going to the bank and giving people money.
One other thing that wasn't planned for was that all the senior people who were handling the mess were making a huge number of calls on their mobile phones which soon ran low on battery. Round about this time the managers went from Nokia bricks that lasted over a week to smart phones; no one had thought to add phone chargers to the room used to coordinate emergency responses.

Study: AI detects backdoor-unlocking DNA samples
Saturday 26th February 2022 10:52 GMT
Our definition of Bio-Cyber Hacking refers to an attack that is hybrid between ICT systems and biological mediums. From the ICT system side, we assume that the pipeline of the sequencing service uses a DNA-analysis toolbox infected with Trojan Software.
If the lab already is already infected with a trojan then surely the damage has already been done without the need for the DNA-based attack?
The only way I can see this being useful is if there is some standard aligners / other sequence analysis software in use with vulnerabilities which could then be exploited.

Re: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
As to where Windows puts files. Madness. Buried in the C: drive in a concealed folder within "Documents and settings" as if user data was in some way equivalent to OS function and needed the same kind of access.
It's not been there for a few Windows versions now!

Sometimes suppliers make it difficult even for us nerds to work out what's going on. Look at the WD Red drives for an example.
