I got well-ackshully'd by my watch in class today. I failed to turn off the "talk to Gemini by raising your hand to your mouth" thing. It never works but it triggers sometimes writing on the blackboard. I said "the drive's read head parks" and my watch burst out "THAT IS CALLED THE ACTUATOR" dead

15 years ago today my home shook as a bomb went off a few blocks away. July 22. broke something in all Norwegians. As so many others I attended a funeral. My kids second cousin, who I might’ve briefly met at a family reunion a few years earlier, was killed at Utøya. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_No...

Please note: Any claims of AI Exascale, AI Zettascale or beyond computing power are just baloney. Real computing power is measured in FP64. Period. AMD embraced utter stupidity by adopting this terminology by the leather jacket man. It's a really shame! #CES2026 #AMD

Soup king Campbell’s parts ways with IT VP after ‘3D-printed chicken’ remarks
‘Our soup’s not toxic but this chap’s behavior was’ is the gist of the defense Food company Campbell’s, best known for its soups and the iconic cans they come in, has parted ways with a vice president for IT after another member of the company’s tech team recorded him criticizing the company’s products.…

With the next product launch season fast approaching, a reminder of the first question you should *always* be asking when a figure of merit is presented without context: #HPC
A version of the goose chasing meme with the text changed to read “What type of FLOPS?!?!?”

Very interesting to me that it will only be a 6 X increase in DGEMM. Fugaku is famously under provisioned for low precision flops, I must wonder if this is an over correction?
