Notes for September 21–26

Work was gruelling this week, with the rather unwelcome result that I didn’t exercise at all. I also fell asleep on the couch most afternoons/evenings just after closing shop–which ought to give you some idea of how much energy I had left for anything else.

I managed to, somewhat on autopilot, do a few updates on various projects (or yell at AI to do so, depending on the level of guidance required), but I’m late with a bunch of reviews and need to take some time to rest and do nothing even vaguely productive, so this is about as deep as this week’s update gets.

As an encore, the ageing RTX 3060 in borg has been repeatedly acting up at the worst possible time, and dropped off the bus for the third time this week just as I was drafting this. If anyone has a spare DGX Spark they want to get rid of (ha!), now would be a very good time.

I do have a very nice ARM64 workstation that I haven’t yet found time to add to my cluster, but I probably need to burn a heap of money on a Mac mini or a DGX clone as a Christmas present to myself, so I’m saving up. If you’d like to chip in, it would be much appreciated.

For now, I’d just like to get through the rest of the weekend without finding something else to fix…
