In light of all the new potential Linux kernel "bugs," Jasper Nuyens created a simple script to place all unused modules (not currently loaded) in "module jail" i.e.the kernel cannot load them. Good temporary hygiene until things get cleaned up. Read more here:

At the Salishan HPC conference last week, I gave a talk called "AI doesn't need massive supercomputers after all!" A couple people asked me for the slides (as crappy as they were), so here they are in hastily written blog format.

Let me see if I got this, "We trained our AI on all your text and code, so your job is not needed, bye. We'll continue to scrape the new AI generated interwebs for even more content because we put the original creators out of work. Profit!" Did anyone read the papers about about model collapse?

As I understand the situation, the price of DDR5 memory has tripled (or more) because memory vendors have switched to making more lucrative HBM used on the GPUs that will be placed in unpowered AI systems that are waiting for a data center.
