So I got a thing on vacation this week and I absolutely love it!

The film cell is from the scene where Worf says, “If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand”.

First Contact is my favorite movie.

Volunteering at @stirtrek today. I have been coming to this conference since 2016 and it is such a good conference with a ton of great content!!

Wow, just wow. I am having problems visualizing something that uses that much power!

Spoke to a Microsoft engineer on the GPT-6 training cluster project. He kvetched about the pain they're having provisioning infiniband-class links between GPUs in different regions.

Me: "why not just colocate the cluster in one region?"
Him: "Oh yeah we tried that first. We can't put more than 100K H100s in a single state without bringing down the power grid." 🤯

The software industry has been muttering to itself stuff like "perfect is the enemy of good", "done is better than perfect", "good enough is good enough" and "half a loaf is better than none" for so long that it has managed to turn aiming for mediocrity into a virtue. 1/2

Random intrusive Dr Who thoughts. “…but it’s a bed with a ladder?”

Over heard in my house… “much like the Doctor, the boxes lie”
