I mean @nbacentel.bsky.social came back on the Other Site. Maybe @hpcguru.bsky.social will make a similar resurrection? One can hope!

Sad to see you go. You’ve been a great service to the HPC community

Indeed. I mean, I paid for a domain to at least get close, but yeah, I don't want to apply and be told "You are not notable".

Innotable? Unnotable? Hmm...

Aww man. I mean, I want to try and have @bsky.app / @safety.bsky.app verify me, but it would just hurt when they come back and say I'm not notable.

$40 is a good deal. Not like I hit 5G often anyway :)

Next up: someday getting verified by @bsky.app . Someday, I will have the bluesky check! :)

Why yes, I did buy fortran.me so I could change my name here. It's about as close to my usual handle of "Fortran" on other platforms as I can get. #nerd #hpc #fortran

Reminding me more and more why Valvoline was at SC24. I was surprised until I realized a good chunk of the show floor was about cooling.

I got a 702 because I don’t really know basketball history. I’m no Carson Breber. :)

Well, I got my @acm.org membership renewal email. They mentioned those β€œadvanced” grades of membership. I’m not important enough for Distinguished, but maybe Senior.

Anyone out there ever done the Senior Member thing and is it worth the effort?

I wouldn’t mind having one, that’s for sure

Linnett is long forgotten? I feel old. I learned it in my inorganic chem class…and thought it was quite useful.

This might be enough to get Gourley here on Bluesky!

Plus maybe the chipmakers will finally hitch up their belts and give us the x86-1024 processors we’ve been waiting for!

Think of how good the AI would be with 1024 bits of precision. Planck-scale AI. The marketing just writes itself! 😁

I want the other way. I’m officially calling on IEEE 754 to spec binary256, 512, and 1024. More precision I say, more! 😁

Yeah. The HPC stuff there is still good, but It’s the surrounding bits I’m not too keen on sadly

Very true. But was nice to see it take hold so quickly

Thinking about how, at #SC24, Bluesky just sort of became #HPC central with no real planning.

Yeah. At some point I might just get there. I’ve already moved to starship, so at least my prompt is the same everywhere. :)

I tend to pop into it when I have to deal with json or yaml. It’s nice to just run β€œopen” on them. If only @nushell.bsky.social had netcdf support!
