Did IBM® Sierra™ supercomputer scanned the Maldives?

I have waited several months patiently to about write this...Now it's high time I break what's in my head for sometime and write about it...

Last year January 2019, I wrote an incident which happend in November 2018, the Windows™ 10 activation errors https://www.naheez.com/2019/01/story.html as a combined story of my tax return filing to MIRA.

It's only all inferences in my mind and to which I have a very high chance of being true..

After I had completed the courses I have done in IBM® Cognitive Class™, Cisco® Networking Academy, Oracle® DevGym™, and Google® Analytics Academy, I put the Credly® Your Acclaim™ badge issued to me by IBM® in this blog of mine. I have put the photos of the  certificates I had received from these huge corporations in my blog. These corporations are excellent including Adobe® Education Exchange™ (which I did later) and SoloLearn® (my very first online interactive course provider).

I made a post in Facebook® about IBM Sierra™ taken from Verge Science® video in YouTube™. I think someone bought a copy of my self published book "Military Computer Alert" and send it Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States (Amazon® CreateSpace™ and Amazon® Kindle™ Direct Publishing is not meant for Maldives and I will never know how many copies of my book sold or not, but the statistics provided to me show that not a single copy of my book was sold even after my own self marketing through paid advertising last year 2019 in Google® Ads and Microsoft® (Bing™) Advertisement).

My book was well read by several scientists in that huge laboratory which does scientific research in nuclear weapons and many other sciences.

Now this is what happened.

I had at Clouflare® level, using the Firewall, blocked some operating systems, certain types of devices including mobile/smart phones, certain people (how heart breaking it's and tears in my eyes, but I have no other choice) to deny the access to this blog of mine. I did this by setting in Cloudflare® the URI (Uniform Resource Indicator not to be confused for URL which is Uniform Resource Locator). I did this for the protection of my blogs. It had to certain access, reduced the traffic to my blog, and that had a positive success effect on reducing the mobile phone bills of some of my close friends of mine who are using accessive data and incurring a large phone bill each month.

Sierra™ is at the moment the second most powerful supercomputer in the world and  the system/machine is built by IBM® one of my favorite and most admired company's in the world. When the scientists of the above laboratory viewed my blog, Sierra™ automatically attempted to scan my blog (this blog) using virtualization of several known operating systems but Cloudlfare® denied access. So Sierra™ started to scan the websites of Maldives (that's what I call in scanning the Maldives) after accessing through Dhiraagu data center servers.

The MNDF had a news conference chaired by Minister of Defence of Maldives, Mariya Ahmed Didi, and some general officers of MNDF in the local television explaining to news media of Maldives that Sierra™ is now scanning the websites of Maldives. This happened after the devastating fire which happend near ADK Hospital earlier in September 2019. I saw like a blink of this interview that September 2019 but since I don't watch television I took no notice of it and went outside to have a smoke.

Than a few days later, a joint news conference was held by Maldives Police Service and MNDF, and I saw my old police friend and colleague Assistant Commissioner of Police Naveen, and I heard and saw him saying "that conference is now ongoing in CNN" and my father changed the channel to CNN in hour home cable TV, and I saw than incumbent U.S Secretary of Energy Rick Perry being interviewed.

I always love to talk to Dhiraagu customer service staff because they never get angry (unlike I had received anger calls on two occassions first in 2012 and last year 2019 but that's not Dhiraagu ) or shout at me and during one of these days (September 2019) to consult on something I called Dhiraagu 123 and the casual air was filled with excitement from the beautiful voices of the girls staff of Dhiraagu toll free local phone support. I think I felt like my heart beating very fast that day when those girls greeted me in phone support.

Then I submitted my BML provided digital bank account statments to Oracle® before signing up in the free tier of Oracle® Cloud as a token of good will and appreciation by my side to Oracle®, and that submission also created some news (I am not totally sure about this)  in certain media channels.

I hope I am forgiven this time also to the trouble I had caused. I never even thought to do such a thing and it was happening by the very nature of the things I do to learn at home using my computer and mobile smart phone.

What Is A Supercomputer? - Taken from YouTube™



 


 China held the lead for the last 5 years, but the United States now has the world's fastest supercomputer. The machine, called Summit, was built for Oak Ridge National Laboratory in partnership with IBM and NVidia, and is designed for AI applications.

Today's supercomputers are made up of thousands of connected processors, and their speed has grown exponentially over the past few decades. The first supercomputer, released in 1964, was called the CDC 6600. It used a single processor to achieve 3 million calculations per second. While that may sound impressive, it is tens of thousands of times slower than an iPhone.

The Lab Director of Oak Ridge, Thomas Zacharia, says, "I've always thought of supercomputing as a time machine, in the sense that it allows you to do things that most other people will be able to do in the future." As he explains, smartphones today are more powerful than the supercomputers used in the 1990s to work on the Human Genome Project.

The new supercomputer behind the US nuclear arsenal - (Taken from YouTube™)

“Sierra” was just crowned the second-most powerful supercomputer on the planet. And while most of its peers use their power for climate simulations, astrophysics, and other civilian work, Sierra is purpose-built for an entirely different mission: nuclear weapons. We took a tour of this massive system, and found out why the US builds supercomputers to support its nuclear arsenal.
