Bob, as described by Harp, was "One of those 'larger than life' characters with a low center of gravity, ginger beard, and spectacles."
So the moral of the story is to not let bespectacled gingers into the data centre?

A bit like recipes on American blogs. They start off with some preamble about their aunt, shoehorn some stuff about their kids, maybe reminisce about their time at university, dump a load of photos in before finally getting to the actual recipe...
...And then you close the tab because it's all in pounds and ounces...

Nvidia's latest AI climate model takes aim at severe weather
Tuesday 20th August 2024 05:03 GMT 
Google shared its work with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to not only enhance physics-based climate models with machine learning, but port them to TPUs and GPUs, making it far less costly to run than CPU-based compute clusters.
Not exactly the same thing, but Meteoswiss & CSCS ported COSMO to GPUs a few years ago too. Since then, Swiss short range forecasts have been made on a pair of surprisingly small GPU clusters.

Re: Of Course The UK Has No Need At All For Infrastructure.......
(and as an aside... HS2? Seriously? I was on the fence about it previously, but since the pandemic passenger numbers are way down. It's just not needed right now. Enough people have realised they don't need to travel as often to get stuff done.)
The big problem that HS2 will solve is the lack of rail capacity north of London, sadly this is hard to communicate so they focused more on getting out of London/Birmingham (delete according to prejudice) a bit quicker...

Hello? Emergency services? I'd like to report a wrong number
Monday 5th August 2024 08:06 GMT
Re: Accidentally calling Emergency, yep I've done that...
We did that once in France as kids. In the UK there used to be a number which immediately rang the line back (IIRC 171) and as kids we thought this was hilarious. We tried it in a French phone box and it went straight through to the cops (17) which required some explanation...

Re: Really?
Some people blindly follow processes without thinking as they can't do strategic thought. for some jobs like in a regulated industry this is great; but in others it is less good.
I used to work in a research IT office where the science moves fast and the IT struggles to keep up. We took on a guy with lots of experience on the regulated side of the industry and he struggled because he needed the guidance of a well-defined rigid process...

My old work use the European emergency number (112) for their emergency number on the landlines. Although at first it seems like a dumb idea at first it makes sense as they have their own Fire Brigade (including ambulance) onsite who are a lot nearer than the public ones. Moreover, the fire(wo)men are specially trained and equipped for chemical incidents.
Meta to boost training infra for Llama 4 tenfold, maybe deliver it next year

Meta's content ranking and recommendation tools already use what Meta calls "Core AI," which Zuckerberg told investors is improving user engagement by pushing more stuff users want into their Facebook and Instagram feeds.
What a shame they couldn't do something useful like fix the climate, cure Dementia...
