@IaaSgeek @stretchcloud @ongresinc @Arm Can’t wait to see you running edge AI! I have a small edge AI project but it isn’t ready to share yet. What is ready to share is the World’s Largest Raspberry Pi Cluster has a home now. Here’s a photo from April when I helped get it moved in.

@stretchcloud @ongresinc @Arm I'll make it through… Always missing @chrisbensen! Working with him was a blast. This project is a tribute to him, still a work in progress. Next up: AI at the edge and some fun apps running on top!

Due to a bike accident, I’ve canceled all events this month (thanks for understanding). I’ll only be at a local event in Spain, presenting a 63-RPi cluster running #Postgres on #Kubernetes. Finishing today the presentation and demo while grabbing a bite! @ongresinc @Arm

Python is not a fully functional language. The GIL means it cannot run parallel threads. A bug in the shared memory class took years to fix and meant shared memory was useless. I could go on, but there are so many libraries that are amazing and people can be very productive.

@aallan @geerlingguy From your description of “bramble” I imagined something a bit more like this photo. True story, when brainstorming the case for the World’s Largest Raspberry Pi Cluster a tree with Pi fruit was one idea.

I've never been entirely happy with the cluster cases I've used in the past. Need to have a site down and a think about how to remix the North Pi case to hold a decent sized (8?) bramble. hackster.io/news/build-you…

Print complete! I will likely post a video on this over to Level2Jeff (@Level2Jeff" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@Level2Jeff). Only a tiny bit of blood was drawn. And a whole bottle of @3DGloop was spilled, oops.

Canceled my Cybertruck reservation. I pick cars based off how I fit. I’m tall and I just sat in one and hit my head. If only it was a less obtuse triangle.

Starting out the morning with a bagel and latte. It’s good now, but it’s about to get better.

@alexhung I had to cancel the project today. Realized stacking them wasn’t going to work. Maybe if I build it really fast in one day one year from now I can pull it off.

Just started building a new wearable Raspberry Pi cluster that when done will be the world’s largest at 1,111 Raspberry Pi in literal vertical hat. Balancing will be accomplished with gyroscopes and it will be powered with a Tesla Power Wall worn as a backpack.

Great news! Now the trick will be to pack the Oracle campus conference center so it needs to be moved to the Santa a Clara convention center.

@brunoborges I generally like Apple products but things have gone down hill. Not ready to go Android. I don’t know how Apple put such a big front camera on the 15 so it doesn’t charge in a Tesla though. There are 3 complains, will they fix them? I’ve got more.

Swimming with an Apple Watch is terrible. Can’t stop a swim workout until after water has been ejected from the speaker and then the touchscreen being wet is impossible to use so you need a towel. Can’t the action button be programmed to stop the swim?

@brunoborges Yup, just watched and read all the reviews. Gonna get an Epix 2. Trying to decided if I save some cash and get the pro or go non pro and use chest strap. Next you’re gonna tell me is an iPhone isn’t a music player. Apple Music has turned absolutely terrible! Long live Spotify.
