Did I ever share? Some many many months ago I created a custom GPT in OpenAI's ChatGPT.
It took the name 'HPC Insights' itself. If you ever find it useful chatgpt.com/g/g-aj5BMTla...
ChatGPT - HPC Insight
Helps explain HPC concepts in an engaging and clear manner.

A partner team of mine is hiring a senior engineer to help develop next-generation #HPC infrastructure in Azure. It's a great team with a great manager working on really exciting stuff, including the new custom AMD CPU with HBM Microsoft launched at SC.

Klassiker. Gestern früh über Taxi.eu (App) einmal erneut versucht ein Taxi vorzubestellen. Ergebnis 👇
Ein Anruf um 03:35 Uhr (das wollte ich eigentlich los) bei der örtlichen Taxizentrale blieb unbeantwortet.
Das hatte ich zuletzt mit #Freenow auch. Nun habe ich eine App mehr Speicher.

That's what it looked like yesterday morning, after a bomb cyclone hit the area, followed by a massive power outage. I keep my fingers crossed for those who still have no power (I see a lot of families here at the MSFT campus, just getting here to get something to eat)

When a bomb cyclone hits Seattle area: suddenly power is gone for hours. Sitting in the lobby of the hotel with half cooled beer and wondering why 20 years ago, when first time being to the US, people wondered why not having power in Germany at (while not spotting overland power lines from pictures)

Mid November, Sunday morning, typically I'd say "off now, see you at SC'24". Not this time, unfortunately. I'm heading even more west (given the ugly weather not the worst idea)

Is it just me or is it getting more and more odd?
Who can guess from below where I'm going to?
