The SGI Altix and UV racks had a cool hexagonal moire effect; it's hard for photos to do it justice.

Intel: We spent huge area on AVX-512 but only in the P cores and the OS got confused so we had to disable it across the board and this won't be fixed in future generations either so instead we're backtracking to AVX10 blah blah
AMD: Everybody gets AVX-512! Mega FPUs!

Once you've burned 100% of customer trust there is no marginal cost to shutting down even more stuff.

I'm tempted to ask what decade this was in but I don't want to know the answer.
Good to know that if I ever hire biglaw my zillion dollars per hour is going towards keeping the seniority hierarchy unruffled.

I don't know if your summary matches the slide. AMD has less carbon and higher perf than Xeon Gold.
Embodied carbon is mostly a scam to create jobs for accountants anyway.

I've seen several people approvingly point to Jack Dorsey's criticism of Web3 but they don't realize he's high on something much worse: Bitcoin maximalism. He's a crackpot crypto billionaire who has some minor disagreements with crypto VCs. Reality doesn't enter the picture.

They're also migrating retail banking onto k8s. Multi-cloud k8s sounds... challenging. Let's preemptively send them some HugOps.

This is really important. Many predictions about crypto (especially pre-2013) were right for the wrong reason or wrong for the right reason.

Nice diagram from Intel showing how a fairly "simple" processor refresh takes 2.5 years to develop. Nothing new for industry insiders but may be enlightening for others.
Intel rolls out 13th Generation Core, "Raptor Lake" client processors; cranks up the frequency.

The Industry: PCIe 5.0 SSDs are almost ready but PCIe 5.0 GPUs are years away and would be pointless anyway.
Intel: OK, we'll make the x16 slot 5.0 and the M.2 slot 4.0.

Similar story at IBM; only STEC SSDs passed validation which I guess explains why they were 10x the price of others.

Twitter is a utility. I'm willing to accept a completely uncensored Twitter if they also re-open the APIs for third party clients so they can implement the moderation that Twitter refuses to provide.

Much younger coworker: Why isn't this master branch protected?
Me: Because I'm doing, uh... trunk-based development.
Him: (shakes head) I know it takes time for older people to learn things.
Me: Hey, in MY day we didn't even HAVE branches!

People keep saying I'm dumb but I think there will be demand for certified non-generative image processing in the future. The legal system is the obvious first customer. Stingrays were thrown out of court because nobody knows how they work, so why not smartphone photos?
The iPhone camera uses computational photography, applying software to every snap.
This wild photo is an eery example: the subject tries on a wedding dress and each mirror shows her in a different pose.
Why? Apple insider says it’s a “mistake” in the computational photography

New video: RISC-V is alive. Despite plenty of hype, RISC-V has been languishing with very low performance and little that you could buy. SiFive's announcement of the U84 core has put RISC-V back on track to deliver something usable.
