I've been told that I shouldn't ever say "click, like and share", but rather: "It’s “smash that like button” and “retweet them TikTaks”, James, get with the times!" Kudos to our ol' pal @brandonbiggs.bsky.social for helping me to "keep it real". Also, please click, like and share. 🤣

We did not run with all the nodes. Not sure why TOP500 decided to list all the nodes. When we have a little bit of time again we’ll inquire…

For most that missed the #ISC25 Flux Framework Tutorial, we just posted our slides online: github.com/flux-framewo... Thank you to those that attended, and see you next time! 👋

Are there health studies being done on people who have/had multiple different cancers? My step dad was just diagnosed with his fourth different cancer.

Oh shit. I just realised no - it really is. I thought I was joking. This is going to require a long and complex backstory. Sorry absolutely not sorry it'll be funny maybe but also you'll learn something.

This is a correct use of the definition of the word "DOGE" meaning "to fuck something up arbitrarily, indiscriminately, and without reason." That having been said, please view the request from @benanhalt at this link, who got DOGE'd from his job at the USDA and has skills to bring to the table […]

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

I realized this morning that I can almost dress entirely in HPC vendor branded clothing. I have storage vendor socks and GPU vendor shirts. Unrealized marketing potential in HPC pants!

Wow, what are the odds?!

An altered bluesky DM inbox screencap. There are three messages. The first two from predictably botlike scantily clad ladies, Alice and Sandra. Their messages read

Hello my baby

&

Hello my honey

The third is from Michigan J Frog, his cartoon pfp as you'd imagine, tophat in hand. His message reads

Hello my ragtime gal.

Do I know any design-y minded folks that might be interested in a OSS contribution by way of a cute lil logo for lustre 👀🥺

Mini thread on developer trust for #AMD. Effectively: the default assumption for AMD is that the stack will be broken. The community tried to help, but as Dave Airlie said years ago “throwing source code over the fence doesn’t make you FOSS” #HPC #ROCm

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

#SC24 was great as usual! So much to learn and many great folks to talk to. 79,047 steps, 36.21 miles walked. Looking forward to next year!
