10^80 is not 100 sextillion (10^23). It’s not 100 sextillion cubed. It’s arguably 100 quinvigintillion (100•10^{3*<latinsh for 25>+3}) or 80-plex [1]. Dismayed by confidently wrong information being forced to the top of a once dependable search engine. [1]: The Book of Numbers, Conway & Guy 1996

Other scientific journals should follow. I've requested this of the journal where I'm an editor. Other journal editor friends, join us!

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

plasticlist.com results dropped. While the number of samples per item is low and the variance and statistical uncertainty are high, endocrine disrupting phthalates seem present in our foods. Also learned that RX bars are wrapped in ExxonMobil’s UBW-ES, an oriented polypropylene (OPP) film. 🌯🧪

Ribeye roast from last night, first with the boy. Watched “it’s a wonderful life” for the first time. Sous cheffing “cızbız köfte” (onomatopoeic for grill sizzle sound) right now for my mom. #HappyHolidays

It’s time for another installment of appreciating the aesthetics of math books

I must admit I've resisted the change in platform because of the mental tax in rebuilding my HPC follows & feeds from the "ex-bird." Finally able to invest the time in rebuilding and grateful for folks like @hpcprogrammer.bsky.social for helping bridge the gap. 😁 It was great catching up at #SC24. 💟

and yes the back is amazing

Visited the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West property this afternoon, which included the drafting room where the design for the Guggenheim was conceived. Absolutely stunning use of light, space, and structure that fit perfectly into the desert hillside.

Only four ingredients from corn? You can do better, America. Like at least 11.

My son discovered clapping today. That is all.

Peak sensational journalism here by @kqednews.bsky.social, as delivered by Apple News… Hope everyone is safe!

I will never, ever get over this.

How we measure things is important. So is how we communicate findings. Eryney Marrogi does a nice job here with something that’s received a lot of spin: 🧪

Why good documentation and precise definitions matter

I made a Starter Pack for #MathSky, since the one @tienchihmath.bsky.social made (go.bsky.app/66Us7WW), is at max capacity. But I need your help! Let's crowdsource this to make it better. Reply with suggestions. **Please don't feel shy to self-nominate!** go.bsky.app/GiRFQ8D

Bought a new monitor on Black Friday. Now I can see my code fail in 4K.

My lovely mom confuses the first name Stuart (or Stewart) with Patrick.

I did a terrible job taking photos or videos of the feast yesterday, but I am fortunate for my family:

Btw the below is why I find mixed precision #HPC so interesting. There’s potentially *huge* performance upsides, but if you get it wrong, it’s *all* wrong.

Happy Thanksgiving

The PDSF system at NERSC had the worst $ per core hour ratio of any system at NERSC. But, it had the most Nobel Prizes per core hour.

Just had a dream. My kid was crawling. It was so exciting that I woke up. He’ll start scootin’ soon. The curiosity & chew-on-things express. That is all.

Don’t forget to revisit starter packs since new people get added to the lists but not automatically to your follows.

Doing my best to maintain the observed equilibrium

From ~14k people at SC19 to ~18k people for #SC24, the growth of the annual #Supercomputing Conference has been huge - and that with a global pandemic in those years too. Was the growth noticeable as an attendee? Is the bigger SC better or worse or just different? #HPC

After feeling left out at #SC24, I had to join Bluesky to see what all the buzz was about.

When you wake up and your models set to run overnight all fail because the supercomputer goes offline, it's like losing your wallet (a recoverable inconvenience). If those same models all finish overnight, it's like winning the lottery (more data than manageable at once). What a roller coaster 😬

This dashboard is very popular with our #HPC researchers, and is accessible through #OOD (Ohio Supercomputing Center’s Open OnDemand). Come see @thediymaker.bsky.social present his work tomorrow morning at 9AM in B312/B313. #SC24

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy. Here’s the 2013 “Pale Blue Dot” as imaged by the Cassini space probe, inspired by the original 1990 Voyager-1 image. The dot is Earth.

Had a great #SC24, hopefully see everyone in St. Louis next year for #SC25!

@thejburks.bsky.social presenting his excellent work at CIQ’s #SC24 booth on making Warewulf diskfull and his production design for ASU’s supercomputers. Among many improvements, his effort ultimately improved Sol’s HPL score by 5% #HPC

NASA’s Nicky Fox is presenting an enchanting plenary for #SC24. The high-impact applications she’s highlighting from Earth’s weather to aerodynamics to #CFD to medicine to space flight to space weather and more all depend on 🧪 and #HPC!

Always impressive to see the #SC24 turnout at the Tuesday plenary. Will we hit 15,000 attendees this year?

If you are at SC24, check out my Slurm HPC talk Friday morning at the HPCSYSPROS workshop. sc24.conference-program.com/presentation... github.com/thediymaker/... #SC24 #HPC #ASU #ASUHPC #SLURM

ASU’s Sol supercomputer is now the 438th fastest and 90th greenest supercomputer on Earth! This was made possible by @thediymaker.bsky.social and Alex Chiquete’s hard work to create power monitors, and @thejburks.bsky.social’s warewulf reimage of Sol, gaining another 5% performance! #HPC #SC24 🦾💻🧪

Very excited for @victoriauribe.bsky.social and @jenceydole.bsky.social to present their lightning talk at the #WHPC #SC24 workshop on starting a WHPC student org. at ASU! They’re talking in just a few minutes, come see these amazing women who are working to lift their peers’ #HPC careers!

@thoefler.bsky.social fascinating keynote @ #SC24 AI4S workshop. Highlights: humanity is in the “Age of Computation,” Fortran & wavelets being great for #CFD, & his work in metaprogramming for better #HPC codes, ML for better observational science, & potentially controversial “AI scientists.” 🦾💻🧪
