Weather forecasts have become much more accurate. A four-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast 30 years ago.

✍️ I did an explainer on the CPU and GPU and how they coordinate tasks between them. Going to a series on rendering💥

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

Painfully accurate Linux meme.

My past self set a cursed catch-all value for Intel CPU codenames...

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Really interesting interactive visualization and demonstration of how Large Language Models (LLMs) work. These form the basis of technologies such as ChatGPT. bbycroft.net/llm 🧪

Writing bash scripts in ${CURRENT_YEAR} Still can't bring myself to `rm` my tempfiles You never know when a cosmic ray will strike the memory containing your $TMPDIR and turn your `rm -rf ${TMPDIR}/var` into `rm -rf /var` The paranoia is real! I'll leave cleaning up /tmp to a system service!

Wow, people using BlueSky's Open Network in their own apps to do add discussion threads to.. anything! This is the sort of global database that Blockchain promised to be, without all the dodgy crypto and high energy use of existing Blockchains.

It's #SC24 week, so what better time for the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) to assemble the 5MW data centre for Isambard-AI. Of course we have typical UK winter weather to contend with, i.e. wind, rain, and today even snow. Fantastic support from HPE and Contour makes this possible #HPC

Thank you for all for blowing up my phone with New Follower notifications! I plan to start sharing lessons learned in HPC, Cloud Native, Linux, but also considerably less sexy stuff such as documentation & project management approaches. There, I can't take it back now!

It seems like #SC24 is a popular time to not only announce new supercomputers, but decommission them. In addition to Summit's farewell party this week (after six years of service!), Isambard-2 is being retired after 6 years as well: gw4.ac.uk/news/gw4-isa...

During the early days of Kubernetes I had the honor of working with @scottmccloud.bsky.social on the "Smooth Sailing with Kubernetes" comic. cloud.google.com/kubernetes-e...

OK, let's try this to show the HPC community already has momentum and can thrive here on Bluesky ... If #HPC or #supercomputing is of interest to you, please interact with this post in some way - either repost, quote, like, reply with insights or just your fav gif, tag friends, etc.

This week I'm revisiting pointers in C and this video does an excellent job teaching the fundamentals. Everything from the pacing to the code examples is well executed. youtu.be/MIL2BK02X8A?...

I've developed a pleasingly simple interactive Bash script template over the years, I need to do a write-up explaining it Bash has such a long legacy some sysadmins will account for issues that have been long solved, or conversely use syntax that hasn't been necessary in well over a decade.

When you've invested too many hours in a platform before you realise it uses JQuery... Worse that, the JQuery is introducing a 2 second rendering delay... and it's woven into everything so I'd have to rewrite ... Ugh Javascript.. to fix it! My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined

BlueSky lists has really helped turbo charge my feed back to what I used to enjoy on that old website, "Twitter"? Was it? It was like MySpace but less poorly compressed wav files.. and no custom background images... Anyway, I'm glad to see my tech people tweeting again!

Wow, so all it took for people to try a new social media platform was realising they were accidentally fueling a crypto-fascist movement, oopsies! Welcome to the Internet!

Hello 🦋 Happy to see many familiar faces around. Wasn't easy to find all of you (I probably missed many), so I created a starter pack to make it easier to (re)connect and nerd out about distributed systems, programming languages, and container stuff. Let me know who I missed! go.bsky.app/U1hZhum

GitHub adds repo page tabs for README, Code of Conduct, License, Security; Awesome!

Laptop warmer than usual? Using VSCode? Like Markdown? Looks like there's a language server bug, fixed in 1.85 (Unreleased currently), where a rogue regex is consuming 100% CPU(core)

This Chrome/Firefox addon is brilliant for migrating your Followings from Xitter to #BlueSky! github.com/kawamataryo/... Sadly I cannot use it as I closed my account a while back and it doesn't look like the GDPR account export contains who you followed... 😔

My first post on bluesky! I'm a passionate photographer of all things birb and other small critters like isopods and jumping spiders, based in southern Germany. My first post is dedicated to one of my favorite genres of birbs: BORBS. Only the floofiest of floofs! #birds
