Nothing worth a damn

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Nothing is worth a damned egg.

Meaning: About something trifling, having no meaning (colloquial).

Origin: Inside the eggshell are the white and the yolk. It is these parts that we eat - raw, boiled or fried. Often we take boiled eggs with us on the road. Some, in the old fashioned way, with the help of a small spoon, carefully eat away all the internal contents of the egg. There remains one shell that can be thrown away as completely useless. Isn’t it true that we also don’t want to take with us through life that which obviously weighs us down, serves as an unpleasant memory, which has already healed and does not disturb? Well, okay, this past has not deserved more attention for some time ...

Origin:

The name of a Soviet film (Lithuanian Film Studio, 1965) shot by Lithuanian director Vytautas Žalakyavičius (1930-1996) based on his own script. The phrase serves as the basis for the formation of similar expressions.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Intel Xeon Scalable Server Processors 08.04.2021

Intel has announced its most advanced processors to date, the 3rd generation Xeon Scalable, also known as the Ice Lake-SP family. These 10nm CPUs on the current Sunny Cove architecture belong to the Whitley server platform (LGA4189).

Initially, Ice Lake-SP server chips were supposed to be released a couple of years ago, but due to problems with the development of the 10nm process technology, Intel postponed their release several times. The main areas of application of these new "stones" are hybrid clouds, high performance computing (High Performance Computing), network technologies and computing related to artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Intel Announces 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake-SP) Server Processors - 10nm, Up to 40 Sunny Cove Cores, Up to 6TB RAM per Socket, and 64 PCI Express 4.0 Interface Lanes

3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs have up to 40 Hyper-Threaded cores, up to 60MB L1,5 cache (4MB per core), eight-channel DDR3200-6 memory controller (up to 64TB RAM per socket), and up to 4.0 PCI Express 270 interface lines. The regular heat pack of new products reaches 11,2 watts. To combine individual "stones", the system uses the Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) bus: three lines at speeds up to XNUMX GT / s (gigatransactions per second).

Intel Announces 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake-SP) Server Processors - 10nm, Up to 40 Sunny Cove Cores, Up to 6TB RAM per Socket, and 64 PCI Express 4.0 Interface Lanes

The 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable family is divided into several series for specific tasks: models with H and HL suffixes are designed to work in systems with four and eight sockets (4S-8S), and regular SKUs without letter suffixes are for servers with one and two sockets (1S-2S). Standing apart is the Y-series for 1S-2S systems, which stands out for its support for SST-PP 2.0 technology (a mechanism that allows you to use several performance optimization profiles for each system). The family also includes models optimized for media and virtual machines, as well as for servers with liquid cooling.

Among the key advantages of the 3rd generation Xeon Scalable, the manufacturer notes support for AVX-512 instructions, Deep Learning Boost and Optane DC Persistent Memory. These chips are compatible with Optane PMem 200, Intel Optane Solid State Drive P5800X and Intel SSD D5-P5316 SSDs, Intel Ethernet 800 Series Network Modules, and Intel Agilex FPGAs.
