ASU’s Sol supercomputer is now the 438th fastest and 90th greenest supercomputer on Earth! This was made possible by @thediymaker.bsky.social and Alex Chiquete’s hard work to create power monitors, and @thejburks.bsky.social’s warewulf reimage of Sol, gaining another 5% performance!

10^80 is not 100 sextillion (10^23). It’s not 100 sextillion cubed. It’s arguably 100 quinvigintillion (100•10^{3*<latinsh for 25>+3}) or 80-plex [1].

Dismayed by confidently wrong information being forced to the top of a once dependable search engine.

plasticlist.com results dropped. While the number of samples per item is low and the variance and statistical uncertainty are high, endocrine disrupting phthalates seem present in our foods. Also learned that RX bars are wrapped in ExxonMobil’s UBW-ES, an oriented polypropylene (OPP) film.

Ribeye roast from last night, first with the boy. Watched “it’s a wonderful life” for the first time. Sous cheffing “cızbız köfte” (onomatopoeic for grill sizzle sound) right now for my mom.

I've created a new plugin for #PyMOL (called PyMOLfold) that allows you to fold protein sequences right in the GUI. Simply select your model of choice (e.g., #ESM3, Boltz-1) and paste in your amino acid sequence.

I must admit I've resisted the change in platform because of the mental tax in rebuilding my HPC follows & feeds from the "ex-bird." Finally able to invest the time in rebuilding and grateful for folks like @hpcprogrammer.bsky.social for helping bridge the gap. 😁 It was great catching up at #SC24. 💟

Visited the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West property this afternoon, which included the drafting room where the design for the Guggenheim was conceived. Absolutely stunning use of light, space, and structure that fit perfectly into the desert hillside.

How we measure things is important.
So is how we communicate findings.
Eryney Marrogi does a nice job here with something that’s received a lot of spin:

My default explanation for sudden changes in a time series is change in measurement.

So glad to see another example, sent to me by a colleague who shares my cynicism. Short, clear explanation of Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry. Which is important to the story.
Maybe it's just YOUR testosterone that's low
