So in the press release they mention the release of a 144 core two chip cpu. They also mention that NVLink is coming to ALL their products. Why weren't those in the headline?
I'm trying to find more information, I know they're was at least one study of a Canadian soldier who survived an explosion inside the radius that he should have died due to the pressure wave.
It has something to do with the pressure wave and how it changes with distance, since I posted that comment I've been looking for more information but I don't know the right terms.
I don't know about nukes, but large conventional bombs have an unintuitive survival distance profile. Something like <10 units away, you die, 10-20 units away, you can survive, 20-30 units away you die, >30 units away you survive.
If it doesn't have to be a Pi and just needs to be ARM, then AWS, GCP and Oracle all offer ARM instances and the ability to have custom images. I'm pretty sure they all have options that cost less than .05 USD an hour for on demand, and I know that GCP and AWS have tons of free credit available.
If you look at the developer blogs for EVE Online, you'll have endless reading about massive scale multiplayer servers. Possibly the most technically impressive massively multiplayer experience
