Thought I am hallucinating that my computer freezes a bit when sun goes down 🧛 ☞ Bug in Broadcom firmware caused freezing when jumping bands over load at dusk waves from weather radar bounce more from the sky, card perceive as congestion and searches for better band. Fixed 😊

Not to shill for Claude Code (actually trying Antigravity now ;) but I love this ASCII art and on my terminal color scheme, this night with crescent Moon looks especially neat ^_^ Like, late late evening but not yet midnight, remains of cobalt color.

Now I'm a man of culture too! I tried kuwai! I mean クワイ. I mean 慈姑. Tastes like a chestnut who became a root vegetable. Deep-fried. A bit bitter, but maybe that's from frying. Gives you that "find it in the forest and eat" feel, though this one was from the shop :)

#hpcmyths 6: We Will Soon Run at Zettascale! Read our discussion in @ProfMatsuoka et al. arxiv.org/abs/2301.02432 and discuss here at the #HPC twitter! Will we reach zettaflop/s performance or will fp64 lose relevance before?
38% zettaflop in fp64 it is
39% fp64 will not be relevant
23% fp64 is irrelevant now

You can do animation in PDF slides with latex ONLY with multimedia package, ONLY with LuaLaTeX ONLY in okular (on linux). JS based animation out for "security" reasons, XeLaTeX etc can't build multimedia, evince etc needs mouse click but in presentation mode it means next page 🤦

well, the #stablediffusion thing is indeed fun to play with. But feels rather then prompt engineering, might be better to shortcut directly to tuning the input vector.
