I'll join as soon as I get up and running :) (tomorrow night or saturday)

I'm really excited about it as I'm studying biology so I actually get wtf they're doing from time to time :p (no that doesn't mean I get it completely:laugh:) and I just love the initiative to put the number crunching to use :D

Sorry for sounding dumb - but do we all contribute to one project, therefore making the project run time shorter, or do we all do single jobs which adds up to a 'team score'?

Ive added the number to join the team, which seems to be fine, but my current job is a solo job and has about 5 hours left to it, Im just wondering if the next job will be a smaller part of the team job, or a solo job which contributes to a total running job score for the team.

Anyone know?

I think we all do single jobs. I joined and mine is still doing the one I started this morning.

Thats what I mean, you have a job already ongoing, its the next job I wondered if it would be a part of a team job or another single job just for yourself to do.

Like, the job I got this morning was/is about 7 hours to process, after that job is done, say if there are 10 people on the team, will they get one tenth of the next job to process, or will they all just get another single 7 hour job each.

I guess there are pros and cons to each side, if someone is allocated a piece of a job on the team job, and dont log in for a month, that job wont get finished quickly, where as if 10 seperate single jobs are distributed, at least thats 9 jobs that might be done in total, as opposed to one full job not being done at all.

Im going to the site, will see if a faq mentions it.

Every one does individual WU's, just the points are added together in the team score. You don't split the WU's between the team.

For example if you folded one WU and got 100 points for it, and someone else folded 5 WU's and got 1000 points for it, the team score would be 1100.

^^ Does that make sense?

Joined the 55186 team. Going to bed so I thought I would let it run for a while. I swear even playing Resistance for hours I haven't heard my PS3 fans go at that speed this must really be working the PS3. I really want to see how a PS3 compares up to the average home computer.

Heres the link to check our 55186 team progres

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.p...p;teamnum=55186

Only one Work Unit done, but in terms of teams and work done we are somehow in 38%, I guess most people that do major loads don't do teams or those teams above us do tones. I really want to see how PS3 can stack up against the rest my PS3 estimated about 9 hours for its first Work Unit that it got dose that mean anything? lol

Oh well I'll leave it running while I sleep and while I'm at school tonight and check some stats tomorrow.

Edit: wow... out of all the PS3's that left there donating name the default "PS3" are already 730 of 615924. Not even 24hours and PS3 brought in this ranking... Not to mention any of the PS3s that did change there donating name won't count towards this... I'm amazed I almost can't wait to say "SCREW YOU XBOX360 MY PS3 FOUND A CURE FOR CANCER". The thing I just said in quote is a joke I'm not trying to start some war here please don't take it farther then a joke.

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
