@ID_AA_Carmack @MarvinTBaumann @Kaos_Mike Moar NVLINK coming…

@MarvinTBaumann @Kaos_Mike Similarly with networking — I fear than their NIC business encourages them not to make NICs irrelevant via NVLINK.

In the 90s, there were a dozen companies making graphics accelerators, and Nvidia wasn’t initially a clear winner. Their first product was terrible, and 3DFX, 3DLabs, Rendition, and others all had important pieces of the puzzle earlier. However, they relentlessly improved and avoided missteps until they were clearly at or vying for the top spot on hardware capabilities. The real differentiator was taking software so much more seriously than competitors, which allowed them to weather periods when AMD slipped ahead in raw hardware performance, and had them building the CUDA ecosystem that underlies so much of modern AI work. I imagine there are a lot of engineers and founders at the also-ran companies that have spent a fair amount of time charting the contingent factors that could have led to them being a two trillion dollar company.

@CAFireScanner @Weather_West #HeadFire pyrocumulus punched up from near ground level to above 35,000 in a matter of minutes as we flew by.

#HeadFire in Siskiyou Co. Also a number of spot fires out in front a half mile & further.

@NWSBayArea @Weather_West Yesterday at Marty Rd near Summit and CA-17

Check out these preliminary snow totals from around the area. Several spots picked up 6" of snow or more! We're still looking for your snow reports so send them our way! #cawx

@Weather_West Had a good thunderclap up here at Summit and CA-17 in heavy snowfall. About 2 seconds flash to boom. Woke us all up.

If there are any isolated t-storms later this evening in NorCal, which is possible, there might even be some "thundergraupel" down to around sea level. Would be isolated, but it's that kind of set-up. Could be an interesting night in the SF North Bay and northern Sac Valley...

Satellite imagery depicts a more organized wave of heavy showers & isolated t-storms developing off NorCal coast. It's this wave that will be associated with best shot at accumulating (very) low elevation snow near Mendo/Bay Area & Sac Valley overnight into Fri AM. #CAwx

I’ve read this twice and both times laughed so hard I cried

Sen Feinstein made a good call reversing her position. We need to keep nuclear plants online and get in-flight modern nuclear plants successfully built (not just waiting for all the next gen designs, the modern existing ones are really good!) sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

A big day for #CUDA and #NVIDIA as we release Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules. For datacenter users the #open driver is fully production ready. |developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-re…

Hey @ouraring will there be on demand blood oxygen sensing available during the day, like there is for heart rate?

Build 1,000 new state of the art nuclear power plants in the US and Europe, right now. We won't, but we should.

@baym What I find adorable is your attire is basically what we wear out here in CA when it gets below 60F

I may have been in Boston nearly twenty years, but I’m still Midwestern enough to know there’s no such thing as bad grilling weather

I am a lifelong hiker, climber, camper, etc. and want to protect the environment. Nuclear energy is absolutely a tool we should lean into. Is it perfect? No. But it’s dramatically better than coal. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Also consider geopolitics.

@baym @abbyspinak That is quite the DIY feat, and with appropriate plaid shirt attire!

Home improvement level up: thanks to supply chain issues we couldn’t get better windows until next spring. So we made our own wooden storm windows! And when I say made:

@3CEnergy Excluding safe, carbon-free nuclear power from your plans and relying on hydro and 'unknown' sources is actually decreasing the supply of carbon-free base load power in the market. The nuclear power you exclude is being replaced by natural gas and coal.

@3CEnergy I am opting out. “The politics against nuclear power in California are more powerful and organized than the politics in favor of a climate policy." Policy rooted antiquated 20th-century anti-nuclear ideas are doing real climate and pollution harm cnbc.com/2021/10/02/why…

Closing Indian Point and other baseline nuclear plants to replace with natural gas just doesn’t make sense given the urgency of our climate crisis. Preserving our existing nuclear generation is one of the most impactful things I think we can do. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Map of approximate location arcg.is/10nvCC #firemappers

#firemappers radio reports of @CALFIRECZU responding as RON Incident to 1/2 acre vegetation fire low rate of spread near Bear Creek Canyon and Mountain Lion Rd.

@CALFIRECZU @sccounty Can you please reconfirm location. Radio traffic and visuals indicate this is actually off Weston Ridge Road, several miles south.

CAL FIRE CZU is responding to a fire burning in Timber near the community of Zayante. This is burning on Upper Ellen Road. An air attack is underway. #EllenFire
