This talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c9C... reminded me @bcantrill.bsky.social for two reasons:
1) @oxide.computer offices are across the street
2) Lawrence Levy wrote great book about his journey in Pixar which I'm not sure has been mentioned in any of his podcasts.

Finally was able to finish the base built for my AI rig this weekend. Installed Proxmox, installed couple of VMs and was able to migrate my web site from AWS to this beauty. My blog is now running from my living room. Time to shut down my AWS environment.

Without a doubt there is a strong momentum for AI inferencing and therefore for new AI inferencing hardware. We are beyond the point where AI inferencing has been dominated by Nvidia, AMD, Intel and m...

#TFDx Biggest launch since Cisco ACI in Cisco Datacenter networking. Cisco HyperFabric presentation now. "There is no IPv4 traffic in fabric unless you configure IPv4 SVI" - This is probably the first IPv6 native fabric in history of Cisco. Brave.

#TFDx Cisco Silicon One is arriving into SP world. We will see simplification in the SP portfolio but we will see some trade offs in locking you in more into their ecosystem. Cisco is becoming vertically integrated company like Apple in phone and computer world.

Just got off an hour internal call with engineering, where we have discussed tools like Microsoft Copilot, agents, Cursor, Perplexity, o3-mini, DeepSeek, and how each of us is leveraging them for different tasks. This transformation in our field is already happening.

This is interesting. Perplexity Pro basically offers either 10x ChatGPT-o1 or unlimited DeepSeek R1 requests. If they are both comparable in terms of quality (and based on my brief testing they are) this is no brainer and I'm sure that's where this is heading. Race to the bottom starts this week.

Spinning off venture capital arm and also spinning off large innovation incubator. This very short sighted and will hit Intel in longterm.

Since we are on Bluesky I would really recommend to read this book. Fantastic read not just about takeover of Twitter by Elon but also beginnings of Bluesky.

I haven’t seen much about this among my peers, but here are a few interesting points from Cisco’s latest earnings call (at least from my perspective):
- Product Orders: Up 20% YoY
- Revenues: $13.8B, down 5.6% YoY
- Core Business (Networking): $6.75B, down 23% YoY (due to backlog a year ago)
