Yes but does it do lightscribe ?

Fair point. Although they both wrote script, which differed from the book (Saturn vs Jupiter). Also, the book was released after the film. So instead of a full point off, maybe just a half point

Thanks, I found myself explaining AI to my friends and family. Was getting repetitious, so I started writing a short piece to help explain things in non-tecnical terms, well then it got long ... now they said it is too long, oh the tortured irony I create

What started as a few paragraphs to help explain AI to a friend grew into this long article (with reference links). If you have not been watching AI and LLM progress closely, like I have, you may find this background primer helpful.

A (Mostly) Non-Technical AI Primer - HPCwire
I have studied and watched artificial intelligence grow over the last forty years. Like many, back in 1968, I was inspired by HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. The question on my mi...

Yes! dotted lines showing near vertical growth, where do I sign up

See the pattern here, first gpus, then memory, now EV batteries, the AI datacenter FOMO spending is pulling vendors away from traditional markets.

Let's not forget, that's Oracle Grid Engine

And no one seems to be talking about the need for rad-hardened devices, but that is kind of a data center in space buzz kill

Yes, I just finished something similar, but with links to references and papers. Should be posting by the end of the week, I tried to keep it higher level and not get lost in the "AI weeds"

IBM just purchased Kafka (Confluent). Smart move because building data pipelines is the first step in model building

If you want to learn about Kafka, guess what, yours truly has created a video course to get you started (complete with serious looking head shot).

As I understand the situation, the price of DDR5 memory has tripled (or more) because memory vendors have switched to making more lucrative HBM used on the GPUs that will be placed in unpowered AI systems that are waiting for a data center.

If you are interested in HPC and AI, take the time to read this piece. Plus, the best vendor analysis charts ever!
I wrote up my notes from #SC25. Have a look: blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/12/sc25...

I’ll keep picking away at the editing, but would love to hear more from others about what stood out to them. I wasn’t at the conference itself as much this years as in the past, so I know I missed a lot.

IIRC, heat denatures animal protein, cools with adding water, tries to reform and traps water to form a squiggly colloidal jell
