More than happy to talk to anyone thinking of applying!

Question for data center ball knowers: if a tenant company in a training/inference data center defaults, can the GPUs be reused as is for different applications and for new tenants, or would you have to reconfigure the entire rack?

Deep in my heart, I just want the Fair Funding Review/Review of local authorities’ relative needs and resources/whatever it is called these days, to happen.

An astronaut, looking at the Earth: “Wait, it’s all social care obligations?”
Behind them, another astronaut, drawing a gun to shoot them in the back: “Always has been.”

UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

"The guts of institutions is that somebody somewhere really cares to hold an organization to the standards and is often paid to do that."

We have institutions in place to address both of these problems, but they require people who swore oaths on Bibles to the country & Constitution to do their damn jobs.

A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity

In my youth older Italians would tell you fondly about how when the fascists realized they were cooked, they began to slip away first in a trickle & then suddenly almost all went to ground or fled in a rush - often in disguise. Sometimes they were caught on the edge of town. They know they're hated.
