What's up, bitches!?? #AIIFD3 is kicking off day 2 with Mirantus. Join us at www.linkedin.com/video/live/u... now.

Up now, @hammerspace.com is presenting "AI without boundaries" at #AIIFD right now! If that doesn't scare you, you're doing it wrong.

@noclador.bsky.social I've been reading your timeline since the beginning of the war (The twits, then here). I'm in Vienna later this month if you're around and interested in coffee or a drink. DM me if so.

Google Cloud Provides a Complete AI Portfolio - Techstrong.ai Google Cloud is certainly not a one-size-fits all, with a range of services from full hosting to a la carte specialty services.

AI Infrastructure Field Day 2 #AIIFD2 featured an impressive lineup. I have more takes on the information coming, but I wanted to offer my thoughts on Google Cloud. Check it out at TechStrong.ai. techstrong.ai/articles/goo...

Wednesday view.

Woop! You're a fine addition and looking forward to seeing you there. #AIIFD2 is going to be epic.

Every time I return to a neatly made bed after a long day, I’m reminded of where Melissa Townsend and I started—cleaning rooms at The Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. Hospitality workers bring so much care to moments like this, and I’ll never stop appreciating it.

Maybe you're being too much of a princess.

Good to hear. Just had cataract surgery. Ask about Light Adjustable Lenses, which can be reshaped after surgery. Worth every penny.

Those gardens are beautiful. As an encore, go up to the top of the "ship" casino at night and see them when they're lit up. I won't ruin it for you with a picture.

Who's asking? For my data storage, it still makes sense. But then I milked a bunch of spinning drives for 14 years. @solidigm.bsky.social talks about the cost of ownership for SSDs being better for at-scale businesses.

A solid take by a serious source, @phillipspobrien.bsky.social, on the the current administration acting as organized crime.

But pay attention to what @stephen.fosketts.net said about SMR ("shingled") technology. Make sure you are only buying CMR drives. I just replaced a set of 14-year-old 2TB drives with some newer 8TB.

So I know I’ve been posting more “politics” than tech lately.

Because I don’t believe it’s political anymore. The tech industry requires a free and lawful society- to avoid becoming (more of) a tool of oppression and corruption.

And the best comedy is a result of the best timing.

But I can never find alpaca meat at the local game meat market.

Genius

AI takes a lot of energy, so we discuss where that might come from on this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast, coming soon on your favorite podcast app featuring Stephen Foskett, Andy Banta, Jack Poller, and Jim Czuprynski. #TFDPodcast #Shorts #AI

I'm glad you asked this question.
