"Europe is planning", not a company, not a national agency nor an EU agency, but the whole of Europe? How does that work? I mean we're pretty much at war, but Russia and Belarus is in on it? How much are Andorra, Monaco, and The Sovereign Order of St. John contributing? What about Overseas France? Do all 13 territories kick in, or is it only the ones that are part of the EU?

Also isn't a new super computer record set several times each year?

Did you guys just bake a really long bagette and invite everyone over to discuss the proposal?

Every 3.171 years all EU citizens get together on a field near Gelnhausen in Germany and discuss current projects. Everyone brings snacks and drinks and all tasks are distributed evenly.

Can't even read the article and find out because it's paywalled.

Yeah, I heard y'all are gonna do some sort of European Hands Across America where you're gonna collectively yeet one computer straight up towards the sun. Its airtime will tell you how fast it went. Anything more than 9 seconds is a Super Computer. More than 13 seconds is a Super Duper Computer.

My cousin told me that one kid at his school back in 2009 did their own computer throw at home that stayed in the air for 5 seconds and that's when entire companies were only getting 3.4 seconds max.

Plus, this would still only be the fastest supercomputer that the public knows about... There are others, but security agencies don't share stats on them.
