Those servers are free so obviously free networking, storage, monitoring, repair (parts replacement too), and admin tasks must be free too, right?

I would also argue that Garth is a "problem" guy and not just an HPC guy. It's been working in the AI world for quite a while.

However, I still take crap for saying I use it. Every time I write something about NFS, a few just have to tell me that NFS is worthless and I'm a Neanderthal for using it. As if I'm the troll.

NFS was and still is, an awesome capability. It saved my bacon many times. It was so, so useful in my grad work when I could dance between workstations. Then when I started working, it allowed us to share data. Life changing.

Boosting this again for folks who may have missed it before! Still actively looking for excellent cluster architects in #HPC and #AI

I learned on punch cards - I guess that dates me :(

For a long time, I loved punch cards. You submitted your deck and waited for it run. In the meantime, you could review your code and make a basketball goal from old cards and a basketball from old print outs and tape. At midnight this was awesome.

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

At first I though it was very weird how the Aryans pick and choose which renewable energy they want. Then I realized it's all about money for them.

My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Suppose you type "Google" in Google. Warning - just step back before hitting enter.
