Hiring: Growth & Relationships Coordinator We’re looking to hire someone to help us get our house in order in terms of managing our client and partner relationships and our sales and marketing functions.

Something slightly different this time. We’re hiring in #HPC but this isn’t a technical role this time

Know anyone that might fit the bill?

I was thinking about swapping our team from Cursor to Claude instead but the #Claude website won't even render on my machine (MacOs, using Safari) i'm wondering if that's a bad idea now

Quantum #99 Issue #99 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs. HPC is riding AI’s coat tails, we get some new VMs, an example of how to do observability and I ask a lot of questions.

just going to leave this here and sneak away before anyone gets upset 😁

#HPC #AI

No. So long as you can explain how you set those proportions and why.

Ingredients of a Benchmark How would you go about creating a single representative benchmark for all your different workloads. This isn’t a rhetorical question where I give you the answer at the end. I’m genuinely asking!

ok let's see if bsky #HPC can live up to its name.... how do you create a representative benchmark?

cloudhpc.news/ingredients-...

that's a pretty cool map

Interesting that its noisy. what are the primary sources of noise in this?

Founder’s Dilemma What do you do when your job outgrows your own capabilities?

not so much hpc this time ... but if you have experience / opinions around this and building companies i'd love your input

oh and if you think you're the right person to solve my problems just DM me.

Tech Tips for Junior Devs Just a few things I’ve observed from a number of recent interviews

Sadly this advice seems to apply to #HPC folk more than most

cloudhpc.news/tech-tips-fo...

ah, no offence taken at all! 😁

Unit tests in human coding (especially in HPC for some reason!) do often take a back seat.

With AI coding though the growing consensus is that you need tests first (which you validate) that are generated from a spec. The actual implementation is then better focused

Hiring: HPC Engineer We’re hiring a HPC engineer, ideally with HPC and/or financial services experience. Want to come work at HMx Labs?

Now that everyone is firmly out of their holiday slumber... we're still looking to hire for a #HPC role at HMx Labs

Solid ability to write code is a must.

Interested? Hit me up.

cloudhpc.news/hiring-hpc-e...

yea.. that's what AI is supposed to excel at right?

the flow will very much be spec -> tests -> implementation with human validation at each step.

AI First Coding in HPC Trying to answer the question: Can AI write mission critical high performance code.

so in the end we came up with something along these lines 😁

This week's #HPC news

cloudhpc.news/quantum-94/

I swear I recently saw an article that was shared on here about how Exascale isn't just a buzzword and what needs tone done to claim exascale... might have been on HPC Wire but now I can't find either the article or the post about it.

Am I going senile or does someone have a link to it? #HPC
