Do you name your computers and if so, what theme do you use? I’ve been naming mine after #FinalFantasy summons for around 15 years 🤓 #networkadmin #maker

If you pick up one of the #Nvidia Orin boards, definitely get an SSD to go along with it. While it can run off an SD card, you’re going to run out of space quickly, and you’ll see a performance hit on complex tasks (like running a local #LLM). #EdgeAI #ai

Get an SSD for your Nvidia Orin board!

Stop using chat rooms (like Discord) as a replacement for tech support forums! Chat rooms and private messaging have a place for synchronous communication, but threads get easily lost, and they’re usually not indexed by search engines. #DevRel #education #stem

Can anyone offer some insights: why is this private plane flying back and forth over Denver like this? Search pattern? Mapping?

I thought about the Roman Empire today. Specifically, these ancient metal dodecahedrons. What do you suppose they were used for? Wrong answers only (because really, we don’t know the right answer…their use is a mystery to us today: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-mysterious-bronze-objects-that-have-baffled-archaeologists-for-centuries)

The views from the Coast Starlight along the California coast are amazing. Also, old telegraph poles! #HackerTrain

The number of people who have told me they're coming on #HackerTrain is wild. This is going to be so much fun.

Our Airbnb in #Lyon involves a good bit of climbing up stairs, but the views and location are absolutely worth it! #France #Travel

I'm excited to be giving a talk at Hackaday's Supercon on my recent #AI in #robotics project (spoiler: only a part of the "balancing" works). Other amazing speakers have been announced, including @gella, @stargirl, @alexlynd, and @poofjunior! #TinyML #engineering

The @hackaday Superconference #HackerTrain bonus event is GOOOO!

This is an extra day on the beginning of #Supercon where a bunch of us degenerates ride the #11 Coast Starlight down to LA instead of flying. I get on in San Jose, but others got on in Oakland, as well as a big group last year who got on in Portland the day before and got an EVEN EXTRA 24 hours of hacking on a train.

This is an informal event, so you just need to make sure you end up on the right train, which is the #11 southbound arriving at LA Union Station on Thursday night, 11/2. The train arrives in LA around 9-10PM, in time for either a late dinner or going straight to your hotels.

Last year I recommended business class since that would ensure that we all ended up in the same car and had access to the diner car, but due to current equipment shortages Business Class is unavailable, so I'm getting a coach ticket. We spent essentially the whole day last year hanging out in the lounge car, so coach vs private room class doesn't matter. I'd recommend packing your own meals if you're in coach, since the diner car only offers meals to coach as capacity allows, and none of the food options on the train are very good. I usually pick up a Subway sandwich on the way to the train station.

@jberi @shawnhymel I've long since given up and muted https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/900 (saw the tweet when checking something)

I'm not mad about it I'm just disappointed.
