My wifey approved #homelab had to move...

The reason is easy - you can probably already guess that there might be some thermal problems raising on the left picture. It resulted into permanently spinning & annoying fans. Also the temperatures went a way too high. So, easy solution - everything moved into a metal shoe rack under my working desk. From ~80°C CPU temperature it dropped to ~65°C without spinning fans.

Ken Thompson is a pioneer of computer science. He worked at #BellLabs for most of his career where he designed and implemented the original #UnixOS and B with #DennisRitchie. As a recipient of the Turing award, he is considered to be one of the greatest computer #programmers of all time.

1943, February 4th he was born. So this #SVG #vector #portrait might be a late #birthday gift of #digitalart, but a reminder of his impact on the work of most #computer #YOUsers.

2006, he co-developed the language #Go

This #Christmas Eve there are a few not at our table this year. I lost two very very dear pups & brothers in 2024. Their lost is felt, deeply, every day.

I inherited Silo from my brother. No one else would take him (big black #dog). We adopted Zac from the #Atlanta Doggie Pound.

Somehow, these two found me and each other. #Grief brought all three of us together. #Love keeps us together.

Broken spirits no more.

Happy #ChristmasEve

One thing that is rarely said about #AI industry is that datasets available for commercial use are generally very scarce and rare.

In academic research, #datasets are often abundant, plus academic copyright exceptions allow access to a huge wealth of data. Additionally, academic research can pick and choose the datasets based on availability, without many constraints on utility on a specific use case. The use case can be chosen opportunistically based on available data.

Commercial #labs do not have these advantages. They have to replicate and exceed academic lab outcomes with many orders of magnitude less data, and constrained to specific use cases which further limits the suitable data volume.

This means that commercial labs have to be super innovative in data efficiency, and in transforming data from not quite optimal sources into suitable forms. This is in fact one of the most crucial bottlenecks in commercial AI, and one of the most difficult problems.
