🌊 As I wanted to explore how combining multiple data sources can improve marine detection, I built a simple toy model using hydrophone data and marked individual tracking methods to estimate cetacean densities. I simulate the movement of individuals with a simple Individual-Based Model (IBM), and for the density estimation, I’ve used Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), though other techniques like Kriging could also be applied.

You can explore the model through this Streamlit web app:

Isn’t that a game?

As children, we were thrilled when we first got a computer—a 286 MHz model, if I remember correctly. I knew that computer games existed, but I had no idea what they actually looked like. One of the programs I enjoyed was an IBM typing practice tool designed to teach 10 finger typing. My sister and I played it frequently, convinced it was a fun computer game. Thanks to that experience, I can now type with all ten fingers! Would I still have loved it, when I knew it was primarily an […]

💻 Hello Old Friend, Talos II 💻

This was my first IBM POWER9 system, acquired in 2020 and built for home/desk use. Dual socket SMT4 Sforza, 144 threads, 256-512GB RAM, various storage/net/accelerators over the years. [1]

As expected, I fell in love and acquired four IBM Power System L922-2U [2], which are presently in the colo awaiting network rebuild (remote hands this time).

The Talos II has served a variety of purposes, with most of its time running FreeBSD PPC64le (&a bit of PPC64be for fun). Sometimes also Linux, back when I was tearing into qemu code for compiler optimization hypothesis testing, RTX GPU passthrough, +validating assumptions about qemu on P9/le handling amd64 & arm64 emulation.

So, out of storage! Into the rack! New user accounts! But first it needs updated OS drives (the 3x 64GB SATADOM in Raid-Z1 need to be repurposed), and a NIC (25G-DP CX-5 or X710-DA4).

Eva's Talos II system, sitting on a storage push-cart, resting atop a 48 port switch for fun and ... "ESD protection?"... in transit back to its proper home.
Top-Down view inside of Eva's Talos II system, featuring dual IBM POWER9 SMT4 Sforza SKU, with a total 144 hardware threads (4 threads per core).
A front view from one of Eva's "HomeLab spill-over into the colo"... server racks, with a pink overlay box indicating the location of three IBM LC-922 Power9 systems. Above those are various Dell PowerEdge servers and an Arista DCS-7060CX-32S switch (ports facing rear). Located at the base of the rack is an APC UPS and APC ATS, handling automated failover of facility / battery power sources for casually "some-9s of uptime" high-availability compliance.

Why Do Corporations Love Authoritarianism?

"If IBM's Nazi collaboration was just a bizarre historical anomaly, we could safely file it away with other horrifying 20th-century oddities.

Unfortunately, it's not.

It represents a base alignment problem between profit-seeking entities and authoritarian politics."
