HELP: I'm giving a talk tomorrow on pain points preparing #data for #AI. I interviewed some folks in preparation but I want to get one last survey of people out there to make sure I didn't miss anything: What are some of your favorite tools? Any useful yet underestimated ones out there? #HPC
Some wall art for the office update. From top/down they are
1. My first cray
2. My first Mac (iMac green)
3. My first 64bit computer (Power Mac G5)
4. Representing my first computer (my moms IBM PC)
5. (Random pretty keyboard partner lent me)
6. First cluster I built at my first job. (Dell PowerEdge)

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Vendor-Neutral GPU Programming in Chapel. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Speakers: Jade Abraham, Software Engineer, HPE Engin Kayraklioglu, Principal Software Engineer, HPE Abstract: Writing programs on modern computers requires parallelism to achieve maximum performance. This is complicated by GPUs, which provide great parallel performance at the price of more complex programming. Chapel is an open-source parallel programming language that supports portable, performant software on CPUs and GPUs using a single unified set of language features. Chapel's features enable portable, parallel computing across a spectrum of hardware, from multicore laptops to distributed, networked supercomputers. In this talk, we will showcase Chapel's vendor-neutral GPU support. We will share user experiences writing GPU-enabled programs in Chapel and show how you can write vendor-neutral GPU programs today. How you can get involved in our open-source work and our future plans will conclude this talk.

I’d like to thank #Crowdstrike for taking our minds of #GenAI for a minute. 😂

Hey #HPC friends! Reminder that there’s an HPC community huddle today at 2PM EST!

All are welcome!

It's striking how often non-compete clauses are deployed in contracts for jobs that pay minimum wage, taking advantage of the massive power and information asymmetries between employer and employee to frighten employees out of seeking better wages.

This statement from the FTC is exactly right.

"If you want to retain your workers, pay them well and make the job not suck."

My thoughts on the CSRB report on Microsoft's breach last year. No not that breach, the other breach. No, the other other breach. Yeah, that one.
