Maybe they should go ahead and put some big fins on these racks to make them look better! 😉

I am constantly fighting off a gut feeling that these things will age about as well as big fins on Cadillacs, but there's about a 10% chance that I am wrong about this and we'll constantly have to support the tendency to concentrate power in this way in order to accomplish organized bulk computing.

We’re thrilled to be bringing you a upcoming feature to help you find your people on Mastodon: Packs. (Or something… we’re still figuring out the name.)
As always, we want to build this important feature for the community WITH the community.
Read this blog post about our approach and let us know […]

If you want to know why the barkeep in the Star Wars cantina threw out the droids, the current state of AI should give you some understanding.

We're always here to help!

Congrats! The last update of the GridFTP protocol document (ogf.org/documents/GF...) was in 2005. There's still a path available to update this and promote it to an IETF, ISO/IEC, or other standard if you like!

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.

Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

Please follow the link below to help bring hpc.social sponsorships up to support our jobs board, chat communities, Mastodon instance, community map, weekly online chat, podcasts, community syndicated blog, & other projects. Even a small contribution will make a difference! github.com/sponsors/hpc...

Are we entering a period in which the primary application area for RISC-V will be for FPGAs?

Greg Newby has also been serving generously as Editor for the Open Grid Forum for many years, guiding many groups through the process of creating the many public documents available at ogf.org/documents. We appreciate these contributions deeply and also wish to convey our deep thanks and regards.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

It’s disgusting when companies and organizations give in to extortion like this.

🔌💡 The economics of #coal are bad, and only getting worse
- 99% of U.S. coal fleet is more expensive to keep running than to replace
- The cost of coal power has increased 28% since 2021

Run.

Look at this trash-- "the previous Administration’s wasteful Green New Scam agenda"

DOE press releases used to be the gold standard, now just another garbage mouthpiece.

In case you missed the big news earlier this week...

We've brought the website of the Fifth National Climate Assessment back online. Explore it at nca5.climate.us

The assessment, which was released by the U.S. Global Change Research Program in 2023, is the most recent state of the science...

"When world historians tell the story of 2025, it will be about the passing of technological, and hence economic, and hence political leadership from the U.S. to China, in the span of eight months. The tape of this address will be the easiest way to explain" why. @billmckibben.bsky.social

Love to see Simons Foundation supporting faculty that contribute to Open Source! www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/scient...

The people I work with are not stupid people and our climate predictions of 30 years ago of global warming have proved to be accurate. Just saying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨

They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us

Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏

This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.
