Lots to say about this. The guy in charge is one of the top techies from ARM and he was working with U. Manchester, which has a long history of innovative computer architecture work. I’m also a big believer in using lots of cheap, low power processors (such as ARM based cell phone CPUs) instead of the big expensive Intel / AMD server chips used in todays data centers. Anyway been following this since the 20-teens with the first SpiNNaker. Also like the work being done at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Ah, I see the new SpiNNaker is just up the road at Sandia Labs. From The Next Platform.

High Altitude Ramen
Perhaps my first New Mexico ramen. Sort of down with a cold so not much to it. I haven’t re-started sauerkraut production so I used some store bought kim chee. Just cup of noodles and an egg. This is surprisingly good. Might have another today, but with more veggies.
Kill It with Fire
One thing I have always wondered, and have never seen discussed, is how Franco survived after WW II. One of Hitlers earliest supporters, and perhaps even the model for his policies, Franco was the original Fascist Dictator. He murdered as many as 100,000 of his own countrymen and had them buried in mass graves. Why didnt the Allies get rid of this guy at the end of WW II (and Salazar in Portugal along with him)?
