In other news, when “Lord British” worked at “big fancy dot edu”, they had a banner made for them with a heraldic crest, and the words “Cuffington Hall”

It hung over our team restroom until the CISO decided to spoil our fun, and take it down.

Fun fact. Lord British is my pseudonym.

Neat nerdy sports watch graph of how grass grows (and doesn’t grow, and tree drop leaf) in the various months in Massachusetts.

Every year I say there’s like WAY more leaf.

Then remember - trees get bigger.

Moar leaf.

So. Enough about me. Let me tell you more about me. Me is my favorite subject.

Hehe. I know right? “Language” models sure have a way more interesting idea of what being “charming and charismatic” is than when I was a young lad applying to grad school. 🤣

Lord only knows what the training data looked like!

Ooof. It somehow got to be 200x earnings? Yeah that’s a pressure point I completely missed. Down to 164 P/E today, but still can’t beat $INTC who trading at an eye watering 567x!! 🤣. Hahaha!

$AMD similar month shape. Way too much froth in the bubble. Not Enron. Pinky swear.
November 25, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Oh yeah so it was.

Must be $INTC in talks to manufacture then. 🤣. This month looks like an Intel graph.

As a remote, bluesky #sc25 wasn’t anywhere near as active as #sc24. Lack of @hpcguru.bsky.social 1:1 correlation.
