Nope....The Men in the Grey Flannel Suits on Madison did such deliberately....A sort of subliminal that was legal, as opposed to the types that weren't....Subliminal Advertizing today is not as effective....mostly amounting to raising the volume a tad

Correct. I love a sexy commercial, but when hotness prevents the brand name or the product from being remembered, they have wasted my sometimes rare TV time showing it to me, and wasted a lot of their ad budget.
 
El-Capitan-Mktng-COMP-crop.png

Not much to look at, but its "El Capitan," as of November 2024, the world's fastest supercomputer. It is in use at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Tennessee. As of March, 2024, the fastest one WAS "Frontier," built by Cray. It was overtaken in November by El Capitan, built by Hewlitt-Packard in cooperation with AMD Corporation.

One of it's many purposes is to improve AI-driven scientific discovery, enabling simulation of nuclear explosions, instead of the old method of drilling a hole somewhere in Nevada and blowing up a nuclear bomb in it.

It runs at 1.742 exaflopsii and achieves 58.89 gigaflops performance per watt. (I know one of you who knows what that means.) Admittedly, I don't know what that means, but I DO know it is quick as a bunny-rabbit on steroids. It generates enough heat that it requires 28,000 tons of liquid cooling. Holy mother of hell.

Hey, if it will run Notepad, Wordpad, email and my appointment book, I'd be happy. That said, Livermore National Lab would be highly suspicious of my appointment book.

If the damned thing keeps them from blowing more holes in Nevada for Mustangs to fall into, I wont go Luddite on it, but it sure is a temptation to chunk some double trees in those wheels.
