Many people ask, "Just what is this Beowulf Bash thing anyway?"

I tell them, "It started with cigars and cognac and became a legend at SC". The story is best told by the invitations (see you there at #SC25)

I published my first LinkedIn article, where I am reflecting on the #HPC Desktop and how I presented it at Oak Ridge National Lab two weeks ago. It even contains a call to action. 😁 If you are going to #SC25, I would love to chat about the #HPCDesktop.

So I've been posting about the #SC25 on those other sites (they know who they are), but BlueSky is where the action is, so if you are attending SC25, you know where to go:

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

I was asked if my #HPC object browser can run in JupyterLab. So Cursor/Sonnet 4.5 got to work and transformed the QT5 app into a JupyterLab extension. I am really impressed, most of the UI features work the same way in JupyterLab as they do in the QT5 version. It took not even an hour to convert! 🤯

Boosting this again for folks who may have missed it before! Still actively looking for excellent cluster architects in #HPC and #AI
My org at work is hiring for an #HPC Architect role to help design and build next-generation GPU clusters!

Our team is remote-friendly, with in-office options, and our current team spans all US and most EU time zones.

I’m one of the hiring managers, and happy to answer questions by email or DM!

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.
