I just finally got to see the stuff about Tesla's Dojo Processor stuff. 9 PFLOPS per "tile" and 36 TB/s of bandwidth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPHX7e1BxSM Um..wow. Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Reminder! Meeting this week on Sept 9th!

by Tim Keller

I should point out that going forward, all physical meetings are also going to connected to the Jitsi meeting as well. I don't want anybody to feel that they can't attend the meeting due to mobility issues or scheduling conflicts. Tim.

WLUG Meeting tonight (Virtual) at 7PM, usual Jitsi location.

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Enough people have reached out to me privately that they want to attend remotely, that I think it makes sense to do the meeting virtually this month. The meeting will be at the usual virtual place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA <https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA>@7PM. Speaking with Frank WPI is off the table as a meeting location. Tonight I think it warrants a conversation about where we'd like to do physical meetings. They are going to happen, I'd like to pick a spot that works for everybody. I'm sure lots of other topics will come up as well. See ya there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
