Friendly reminder to put this in your bashrc if you're using bash terminals a lot. Don't think any config has changed my QoL as much https://t.co/hkioFouLxe
DeepSeek posted a new job on its website: IDC Design Planning Engineer. This is the person who designs a data center before it gets built. Site selection, power systems, liquid cooling, rack layout, construction specs.
When an AI model company starts hiring to build its own physical infrastructure, the signal is clear. My read is DeepSeek is planning something at GW-scale. That is a different category entirely.
I am sad to hear of the passing of Dimitri Bertsekas. This one hurts.
Dimitri had a big effect on my career, from inspiring research topics to writing one of my tenure letters.
A long thread on memories of Bertsekas and some of his works that influenced me the most.
I wonder who that is 🤔
"The company also disclosed, for the first time, an actuator project with a Chinese humanoid customer, suggesting a second growth vector may be emerging."
Just heard Dimitri Bertsekas passed away. We would often chat after his Convex Analysis class. He was always very kind and encouraging of my theoretical pursuits. The guy wrote books like most people write papers. He was a true educator. Sorry that I didn't get to cross paths recently.
