Last session at #A3TechLive today with @piqlfilm.bsky.social - the company seems to offer a long-term archival solution stored on film.

As a (rusty) film photographer, I like the idea very much! We got a film with slides and some data apparently, and a matching biz card.

I'm not a networking guy, but Netris seems to do pretty solid stuff when it comes to automating network hardware operations at scale.

The diagram below provides a comprehensive overview.

Phison is showcasing their SSD design validation process, to ensure SSDs meet all quality and compatibility requirements before going into production. #AIIFD2

A bit of info about Phison over the years. Haven't heard about the before #AIIFD2 to be honest!

Apparently, Phison has a hardware solution to meet the growing demands of LLMs, with the ability to manage models such as Meta Llama 4 Behemoth (2 trillion parameters). #AIIFD2

An overview of Phison's aiDAPTATIV+ architecture, showcasing the way data is cached from GPUs to NVMe SSDs, in a use case where Meta Llama 3.1 (70B) model is used for training.

Looks like you need three components to run Phison's aiDAPTIV+ LLM Training solution:

- their middleware
- custom-designed SDDs they manufacture
- an all-in-one AI Toolset to help users with training and inference

It's been a loooong while since I last started ETS2 (months!). This short trip from Tirana to Parma was worth it. Especially this Maserati Ghibli II randomly showing up. Now up to bed!

It's almost time to do monthly invoicing. And since I've got this legendary screenshot from Reddit in my invoicing folder, I have to share it with you!

Asking AI the hard questions. Come on, I'm probably not alone in this fight for the good cause!

One of the reasons I never miss @jpwarren.pivotnine.com's "The Crux" newsletter is for gems like this that bring instant joy in otherwise dull times.

There's usually more, so head over and subscribe if not done already.

I'm totally a LinkedIn chaos monkey as well, I was commenting that earlier on @lfoverskov.bsky.social LinkedIn post :)
