Yep

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

“There’s no compression algorithm for experience” Yet LLMs are being sold as exactly this. The maths ain’t mathing.

These thin skinned pieces of shit running our government really piss me off sometimes.

sure `uv` is fast and all, but the experience is much shittier than pyenv. It also eats up a LOT of scarce disk space on my laptop. Switching back.

It’s worth pointing out that automatic weapons were banned in Australia years ago. Notice that each shot is just one at a time. Imagine how much worse this could have been.

I am soooo mad at genAI for ruining m-dashes for me.

They should have called it Lambda Flow instead of Lambda Durable Functions.

“look at them trying to rip away healthcare from this tiny population while your bills go up” would be a good message but instead politicians say we’re a “distraction” which is just transphobia in another tongue

Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

I mean, c'mon, what good is being in power if you can't order your secret police to kidnap your nephew's mother so your brother can take custody?

Three separate texts for Kelly fundraising. Yeah no.

OMFG 🤣🤣🤣

Rode in the worst smelling cab I’ve ever ridden in in my life. Almost threw up it was so bad. Immediately had to chuck all my clothes in the washer and take a shower. So. Gross. 🤢

As conference season is upon us, here is my #1 hot-take: **Sessions are good actually!** Everybody makes a big deal about the hallway conversations being the important part, downplaying sessions, which I think 100% misses the mark. #SC25 #reInvent #KubeCon

SC'25 is almost upon us. In the rush to pack your bags, and get to the airport. don't forget some key things: (1) all our plans are posted on day1hpc.com/sc25/, our community is inhabited by amazing Women in HPC. #SC25 #WHPC

Remembering that one time 8 years ago when I laid out to my airplane seat neighbor how AI was going to decimate white collar jobs, knowing at the time I probably sounded crazy. Wondering if that guy remembered what I said as we see it unfolding.

📰 New article by Brendan Bouffler What’s the difference between AWS ParallelCluster and AWS Parallel Computing Service? #AWS #HPC

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) is the third generation of Slurm-based HPC orchestrators, building on the foundations of CfnCluster and ParallelCluster. Learn about the key differences between these cloud-enabled HPC solutions. aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/th...

Yep. The grift keeps on trucking

Just crazy levels of self owns happening in the US.

OK what did he just do?

Saw a post somewhere about how practice is only boring if you're thinking about something else. When you are focused on the actual activity practice is easy. I think this is why I am having trouble getting a regular exercise routine going. The hardest muscle to train is your brain.

Wondering about which is which: Parallel Computing Service or ? They're not the same thing, and choosing the right one might save you a lot of work later. youtu.be/vB9GNWA5fws

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Really nice summary by @angelp.bsky.social and @boofla.bsky.social about the work we've been doing to support #arm64 builds for #bioconda and #Nextflow over at @nf-co.re and @seqera.io It feels like we're nearing the tipping point, what's not to love about greener more efficient computation? 🌱🍏

I normally cringe at hearing my own voice but the is one came out pretty good!

This also sets up an expectation that Democrats bear a responsibility in keeping the government open and lets the congressional GOP off the hook. So pathetic

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

A guy in front of me is watching Guy Fieri breakfast edition and it is making me drooooool 🤤

Hot take: freemium software deliberately doesn't fix the rough edges of the core product or improve documentation if the main dev stands to benefit from support contracts or running the default platform. Zero incentive to raise the bar. Unrelated, worked with Ray a lot this week.

Yep

Orange or Blue?

Yep

Update: the infrastructure and example deployed just fine but the instances would not join the ECS cluster and I could not figure out why until I asked the chatbot for possible reasons.

I am made of just bones and coffee

I just did some vibe coding for the first time using Q CLI. Gotta say this is a nice way to make quick prototypes (which is 99% of what I do). BUT I still think you have to have a good understanding of the underlying tech you're trying to build and how to shape what you want to happen.

Rick Bright is exactly right about the devastating harm that we’ll all experience thanks to Trump and RFK’s decision to throttle mRNA vaccines. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...

Replaced an outdoor outlet this morning that was not properly water proofed when it was installed. Shorted out the GFCI. New installed and box sealed with silicon. Weekend chore✅

mRNA vaccines are a miracle technology and these fuckers are ruining what could have been a golden age of medical progress. So angry about this. 😤

the trouble with keeping a stash of special snacks in your desk is not being able to stop eating when you have a meeting heavy day.

End of an era! I’m still a fan of ONT and looking forward to seeing the future of the company and technology.
