🤦‍♂️just when one of the most important HPC acceleration methods ever found (data models) let's slap it down because it uses "AI" based models. Oh, and for the pupose of your bill, please provide a precise definition of AI

In light of all the new potential Linux kernel "bugs," Jasper Nuyens created a simple script to place all unused modules (not currently loaded) in "module jail" i.e.the kernel cannot load them. Good temporary hygiene until things get cleaned up. Read more here: github.com/jnuyens/modu...

Diminishing returns is something with which most HPC people are familiar. Which is why, IMO, we don't make "promises at scale" without some engineering

Ed, as always nice work. I think the ability of nvidia to keep the generational improvements is going to get harder and the cadence will slow, and GPUs will still have a ~10% annual failure rate, or greater, due to physics as things get smaller, no free next-gen lunch, it is going to cost more

Doug Eadline @thedeadline.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
the limitations of the current GenAI tech, we are not there yet and scaling $ and GPUs does not seem to be the way forward. What intrigues me is if there is a correction/implosion in GenAI, there will be a large collection of hardware that can be repurposed for HPC (for building data models) /end

Doug Eadline @thedeadline.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
Thanks. I have thought about some of theses issues as well. I also wonder about how the GenAI market, which has not yet shown it can make money, can drive HPC in the long term. There are/will be wins for sure but enough to justify the level of investment is questionable based on /1
