Students at the University of Waterloo now have an interactive map.fpr.avoidong Canada Geese. Fortunately the winter term is nearing an end, just as geese are returning from their annual migration.
I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.
The Artemis astronauts. Something that’s happening now that in no way whatever sucks. A blessing.
Blammo. Late at night, or first thing in the morning. Ugh
4x4” acrylic painting of Nutella floating across the Orion capsule. It is done in a loose style a bit different from my normal work

Lol I mistyped the first hsshtag
Below freezing outside so it was a treadmill run for me today. Felt really good in the warmup so I did an interval run for the first time. At 1.6k and 3.5k I sped up for 1km at a time. Strenuous but totally under control. Total 5k at 34:22. Well do this again!

Wow, there's a lot of books out there. It's really heartening to see the work people have put into making something with real substance, then putting it out in the world.
Modern DRAM is based on a brilliant design from IBM.
But, we're still paying for a latency penalty that's existed since the 60s!
In this video, I'm introducing my research project (Tailslayer) that immensely reduces p99.99 latency on traditional RAM!

Man grows a pineapple plant in his Whitehorse, Yukon home. (60 degrees north).
After nine years it bore a fruit.
"... Pretty sweet, maybe a little bit on the sour side," he said.
"We maybe could have waited a little bit longer."

When my kids were little years ago, at the end of a long drive I'd say "thank you dinosaurs" :-)
I've had the Artemis stream going in the background as I've done a few hours of house maintenance. Glad it worked well as a radio show.
column-height/wrap are the missing multicol feature that has kept multicol being a completely useless feature on the Web for twenty years. Happy to see more column usage on wide screens!
Very nice work. I really like the creamy color; it didn't really show in the previous photos.
Phenomenal book. Terrific TV series.
I was reading it on a business trip and lost it. I read the rest on my phone: I had to finish it. I never otherwise read books on my phone.
Glad I read it *before* the pandemic.

Hot take: there's a lot of gains to be made in GPU middleware.
People are using AI to break CUDA’s moat.
Given any pytorch model, it profiles it, ranks bottlenecks by amdahl's law, writes triton or CUDA C++ replacements, and runs 300+ experiments overnight with no human in the loop.
- 5.29x over pytorch eager on rmsnorm
- 2.82x on softmax
I just tried to "up dog" my seven year old nephew.
"hey, do you have up dog?"
Him: "Yeah!" And runs off to his room.
He comes back with a toy: the dog from "Up".
"it's the Up Dog"
Damn he got me
Good morning everyone today is MOON DAY 🚀🌖🥰 #Artemis
I ran a personal best in the 5k today, at least in my over-50 era.
Also PB for 2 mile.
It was 5C outside with a wind. Nippy but maybe that helped!
The literally name-checked Outlook, saying they were doing an update.
Personal best, by far.

It was late at night. Me, teenager, was resisting going to sleep around midnight on a weekday, so I had the radio under my pillow. "How Soon is Now" came on, and I was hooked. I knew about The Smiths but at that moment they became special to me.
Made pancakes from scratch. Feels like an Easter-y thing to do.
This is what's left
Legit feeling a moment hearing Charlie Duke greeting the #Atrtemis astronauts
I've got the NASA livestream on. Because we live in the future.
Or, I want to believe that.
Incredible we have almost as much access as the Apollo wives had with the (audio) squawk boxes.
I recommend making something else the source of truth, and then generate the Rust and Haskell types from it. It can be roll your own (no dependencies! And you're in control), or someone else suggested protobufs.
