       Not a writer, but a supercomputer – #France has a new Jules Verne 🖥️Joining the ranks of Europe's most powerful supercomputers, Jules Verne will perform over a billion billion calculations per second, driving scientific breakthroughs in areas such as:👩‍⚕️ #health🌍 #climate change💡 clean energy technologiesThis cutting-edge #technology, co-funded by the EuroHPC initiative, will rank among the world's top 3 supercomputers, reinforcing the #EU's global leadership in high-performance computing.

       @EU_Commission what are the costs in terms of electricity use and resources needed to build such a computer? And also 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier emissions?

       @EU_Commission Just like in William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's The Difference Engine where France has a supercomputer called The Napoleon.

       @EU_Commission Is it fuelled by renewable energies? What about its water footprint?

       @EU_CommissionIf only the post didn't mention #climate change -  it wouldn't have included misinformation (possibly disinformation)The resources & power requirements for computers are increasing exponentially, therefore are doing the opposite of "breakthroughs" in climate mitigation.What would be doing something positive to mitigate climate change would be using less resources & power + more nature based solutions.More research isn't mitigating climate change!@Ruth_Mottram

       @EU_Commission As someone who loves computer science and cares about the earth, I ask sincerely: what climate change breakthroughs do you hope to get?

       @EU_Commission  Ils seraient plus que temps de dénoncer de manifester contre le manque de crédibilité de la plus part des médias véritable instrument relais du pouvoir en place une arme particulièrement efficace pour conditionner le citoyen lambda qui n'a pas le temps de réfléchir par lui même, manipulation des faits, de l'émotionnel, du langage tel sont leur stratégie, il est plus que temps de mettre  à jour cette supercherie des médias
