Ridgeline VII Nepal: Totally crazy, the views, the descent, the speed…

In the era of AI, take a hobby

Tofu + greens curry

Alibaba Crypto AI Agent

How a sewing machine works

HRT GTC2026 Modern Resource Responsible AI Factory: Interesting all the way to save watts. The emphasis in copper, water cooling.

German Potato Salad

SCION Routing: I didnt know that it was use in production

Jet Engines: crazy, amazing

Quantum companies I didnt know about:

qant.com (Germany)

ionq (USA)

Octopus can rewire RNA: Incredible animal.

Eat the peel: After reading this, I started eating the kiwi’s peel. Not going back. I would like to do something with banana peels and oranges. But dont want to use a tone of sugar neither. I will try my spicy banana bread next time with peel. The orange peels you can keep it as aromatic when dried.

Virginia Air Space Museum: I was there 3 years ago I think. Amazing. You have a blackbird SR71, Concorde, Space Shuttle, etc. Totally worth visiting.

Fairwater: This is already old news in the AI datacenter world. But still interesting at high level.

Microfluidics:  “Tiny channels are etched directly on the back of the silicon chip, creating grooves that allow cooling liquid to flow directly onto the chip and more efficiently remove heat”. 

Liquid air energy storage:

The process works in three stages. First, air is taken in from the surroundings and cleaned. Second, the air is repeatedly compressed until it is at very high pressure. Third, the air is cooled until it becomes liquid, using a multi-stream heat exchanger: a device that includes multiple channels and tubes carrying substances at different temperatures, allowing heat to be transferred between them in a controlled way.

“The energy that we’re pulling from the grid is powering this charging process,” says Cetegen.

When the grid needs extra energy, the liquid air is put to work. It is pumped out of storage and evaporated, becoming a gas again. It is then used to drive turbines, generating electricity for the grid. Afterwards, the air is released back into the atmosphere.

Infinibad HPC: This is a good intro for infiniband, it helped me to refresh the training I did two years ago

Designing HPC Cluster Infinibad: It seems more practicas as you have the different type of deployments based on required nodes. Avoid credit loops.
