SassyMetisChick@sassymetischick.bsky.social · 2y agoThe Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.
I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

caylen@caylen.bsky.social · 2y agotodays my birthday. it’s also the day 16 years ago I discovered that a customer for the data center I worked at had racked 3 full cabinets with over $200k of brand new server hardware on top of $80 of canned soda from our customer lounge vending machine to avoid spending $600 on mounting rails
Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy. The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.
why call ourselves The Museum of English Rural Life when WeRateHogs was right there
Annual reminder: Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders. Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.
If someone wishes you "happy holidays," it doesn't mean they hate Christmas. They're simply acknowledging that there are *many* sacred observances that take place this month, including the anniversary of Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing a shoe at George W Bush on this date in 2008.
Museums really are leaving money on the table by not selling more reproductions of Little Guys
✨️naomithinksit✨️@naomithinksit.bsky.social · 2y agoEvery museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys
“what do you bring to the table?” bro, i am the table. reliable, versatile, a little wobbly, and occasionally covered in crumbs
Personally, I like to think #HPC at #AWS kicked off the annual #preinvent season with our August launch of AWS Parallel Computing Service. Check it out if you were on summer holiday or planning Labor Day festivities. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Arrived in ATL for #SC24 - looking forward to seeing old friends and new.
Speaking of #HPC nerds … we have some rather special nerd shirts at our booth in Atlanta this year. Don’t forget to pick one up. They went kinda quick last year.
HPC Engineering @ AWS@techhpc.bsky.social · 2y agoThis place is BUSY! Thar be #HPCers in those feeds. I need a “follow everyone back” button. Welcome HPC Nerds. So nice to see you all again.
OK, let's try this to show the HPC community already has momentum and can thrive here on Bluesky ... If #HPC or #supercomputing is of interest to you, please interact with this post in some way - either repost, quote, like, reply with insights or just your fav gif, tag friends, etc.
We've loaded up day1hpc.com/sc24 with all the details about events, demos, builder sessions and deep-dives - so you can find anything you need to figure out solutions to any problem. It's also got the scoop for parties, receptions and other community events. See you in Atlanta at #SC24
We're big on removing performance ceilings, no matter where they sit. We have 849 compute types including lots powered by EFA (for MPI and NCCL). If you want to talk to us about breaking your limits, you can find dedicated time with our experts at SC'24 in Atlanta --> https://buff.ly/4evlGx3
We're doing **live builds** at #SC24 of some really ambitious workloads in the AWS theatre on the expo floor (#2501). We'll build several large HPC clusters, a 1 terabyte/s Lustre, train models, and do CFD, live. Why? To convince you that you can do it, too. buff.ly/4ehASOx
If you run workloads that have a defined completion point and performance variability, this post has key info on an AWS tool purpose-built to optimize cost and performance. https://buff.ly/4fIoyHZ
