I have no idea how you look at that footage and reverse that. Especially with it being three free throws to the offense.

Doesn't change the outcome of the game. But I don't get that at all.

One of these days, the NCAA will understand how problematic their basketball officiating is.

I hope it happens while people still care about the game.

Super excited for the last full day of #SC24!

I'll be giving a student lightning talk on El Capitan and Flux at the SCinet Theater (booth #2049). Thanks to @vsoch.bsky.social for help with the slides!

I'll also be chairing for the first time at the third Doctoral Showcase session today.

A big day for HPE_Cray as 4 of the #Top5 and 7 of the #Top10 are Crays

Also for AMD - the top 2 #supercomputers are based on their chips, as well as #5, #8 and #10

Microsoft Azure can claim the fastest #cloud #supercomputer as well as the fastest below #Exascale

I have not been able to keep up with the steady stream of new followers on #BlueSky as the number of #HPC folks joining this platform keeps growing daily

Maybe #SC24 will be known as the conference where BlueSky emerged as a valid alternative to #HPC Twitter

I'm glad to see this grand vision gaining steam. It has been years in the making--or decades, if you see it as an evolution of grid computing, TeraGrid, etc.
