if you want to hang out with Americans the Irish pub across the road from the Marriot does the job 🤪

I assume you educated him and put on the Keane version?

Pay someone else (nanny, day care etc) to sort it. Failing that, every time they eat, loo, every time they drink water, loo. Every 20 minutes, loo. It's exhausting, but probably only need a week or so of it.

Ha! SA doesn't focus on test cricket at all. We play the ICC Test Championship matches, and that's it. There will be no home tests in 2025. Imagine if we actually tried 😉

Combined with the remarkable results from Chinese LLM's trained on memory constrained GPUs.

More GPU != better LLM anymore

The financial incentive to buy more powerful GPUs has evaporated.
November 17, 2025 at 8:00 AM
The other side to this coin is that there appears to be diminishing returns in LLM training. Each new LLM release is only a small incremental improvement on its predecessor.

To put it simply, the hyperscalers are overbought and underbuilt.

Too many GPU's, not enough power (and cooling) to run them.
November 17, 2025 at 7:51 AM
And because of the cooling and power requirements of the new Nvidia kit (the NVL72 GB200 clusters), new data centres or extreme retrofits of existing data centres are required.

New data centre cooling and power systems had to be designed to accommodate the new clusters.

Why do I say there isn't enough data centre capacity?

Well thats what Satya Nadella said about the GPUs Microsoft bought

Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in'
‘I don’t have warm shells to plug into’

First test win in India in 15 years. Proteas have won 10 out last 11 tests.

Yup

Would say the key to survival is frugality, keeping debt low (interest payments killed GC), and being close to break even (Amazon announced its first profit in Q4 2021, 2 quarters after the crash.)
November 13, 2025 at 1:39 PM
The biggest losers in the internet bubble were the overinvested infra companies (GlobalCrossing, Level3, among others). Amazon survived and thrived post bubble. GC and L3 barely survived, merged and that entity sold off in parts.

Wait until Rassie finds out Hooker played a few games at 8 as a school boy.
November 13, 2025 at 12:44 PM
Van Staden can play hooker ... and potentially a future hybrid in Hooker, who did play a few games at 8 in matric (though Boks obvs a gigantic step up)

Yeah. They assume you have multiple Apple devices, and no option for "corporate iCloud" where groups of users and devices can be managed under a single org.

you need to collab with @hankgreen.bsky.social and his Focus Friend app! A "focus stone" which starts a focus session in the app would be awesome.

Watch his music video. Its on Youtube. It checks out.
