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.

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.

Peak sensational journalism here by @kqednews.bsky.social, as delivered by Apple News…

Hope everyone is safe!

One more photo.
My mother and wife really made and directed the show. I did my best to help and not burn anything. After over two decades of sous-chef training, I am slightly better. Many dishes to clean for me today!

I did a terrible job taking photos or videos of the feast yesterday, but I am fortunate for my family:

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

Here’s the 2013 “Pale Blue Dot” as imaged by the Cassini space probe, inspired by the original 1990 Voyager-1 image.

The dot is Earth.

@thejburks.bsky.social presenting his excellent work at CIQ’s #SC24 booth on making Warewulf diskfull and his production design for ASU’s supercomputers. Among many improvements, his effort ultimately improved Sol’s HPL score by 5%

NASA’s Nicky Fox is presenting an enchanting plenary for #SC24. The high-impact applications she’s highlighting from Earth’s weather to aerodynamics to #CFD to medicine to space flight to space weather and more all depend on 🧪 and #HPC!

Always impressive to see the #SC24 turnout at the Tuesday plenary. Will we hit 15,000 attendees this year?

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!

Very excited for @victoriauribe.bsky.social and @jenceydole.bsky.social to present their lightning talk at the #WHPC #SC24 workshop on starting a WHPC student org. at ASU! They’re talking in just a few minutes, come see these amazing women who are working to lift their peers’ #HPC careers!

@thoefler.bsky.social fascinating keynote @ #SC24 AI4S workshop. Highlights: humanity is in the “Age of Computation,” Fortran & wavelets being great for #CFD, & his work in metaprogramming for better #HPC codes, ML for better observational science, & potentially controversial “AI scientists.”

Trying not to wonder too much about all the distributions that make up this beer while having a nice drink with our #sc24 crew before the exhibitors reception

A lot of 🧪 to do here, which helps guide policy. I’m full of naive questions. This seems to make a good night’s sleep all the more important. How impactful are these nanoplastics on forming new neural connections, and how causal is this tissue pollution to trends in mental and physical health?

@saraimari.bsky.social presenting a fascinating keynote for our ASU Research Computing Expo, “Pushing the Boundaries: The Role of Advanced Computing in Scientific Discovery for the Origins of Life.” Always like to start my mornings with the Hubble deep field and existential questions!

Nice vis! Paraview? Also, what is the source of the high-frequency oscillation (example circled in red in screenshot)?
