Every time I feel i have made progress I then think of another angle I haven’t validated enough or tested. But you just have to get something out the sort sometimes. Nothing beats live testing!02 Sep 2026 11:55 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mujuuespf22khttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mtrnnnus7s2mWell I am still a bit of a lopsided bullfrog from the surgery but will start to get back to my desk this coming week. Not bad given I was under the knife just over a week ago!23 Aug 2026 20:42 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtrnnnus7s2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mt2xwfftnk2dI am stuck in hospital at the moment and I can honestly saymy injuries and surgery wounds it’s bloody uncomfortable. What strikes me is the huge disparity between public and private. I am in a private hospital and I could not be more grateful. More money for the NHS!14 Aug 2026 20:14 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2xwfftnk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mt2xs4tlyk2dJason Arday found dead today. Regardless of the details there is no doubt that the horrific racism of Nathan Cofnas was an influencing factor. A total tragedy. Solidarity to all black and brown people everywhere today. A truly shocking case.14 Aug 2026 20:12 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2xs4tlyk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3msq3rtohuk25Well results from autonomous GPU scheduling on GenAI transformer architectures is so far 40% more efficient using RL. I can beat that if I can get hold of a dataset which isnt redacted I think. But that’s unlikely so I will run a product test next and work out how the architecture should look.10 Aug 2026 12:24 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3msq3rtohuk25https://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3msacqra4ls2mI am busy on phase 2 of my RL workload management tool. So far struggling with datasets. Using the latest traces from Ali B Cloud. Part of the problem lies in how transformer architectures consume compute. Which added a complexity I hadn’t anticipated.04 Aug 2026 05:46 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3msacqra4ls2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3msaaapyxac2mSo the model providers have run out of training data and are buying up source code from old repos. Well this is a worry along with the book procuring and destroying for data ingestion which is routine. Our intellectual property is being undermined.04 Aug 2026 05:01 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3msaaapyxac2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mrb6f24e6s24I went to the Farnborough air show today. Some interesting presentations in the Spacetech event. How fragile gps and air traffic actually is, how space weather knocks out satellites and might crash the rail network! And NASA is building a moon base..22 Jul 2026 20:35 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrb6f24e6s24https://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mpxlvudlik2rStuck in the most tedious of small business tasks this week. Database and data mail systems & servers migration. I have put it off for years it’s so painful and dull. If I get done with it by end of day tomorrow I may reward myself with a salted pretzel from Waitrose just to celebrate.06 Jul 2026 07:46 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpxlvudlik2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mpogy7ne7s2h“Theres a talent shortage!

It’s mostly a learning project and a tool to solve a problem for my own projects as well as my customers. But it struck me working on this, how everyone is distracted with LLMs and how little focus there is on other types of AI.20 Jun 2026 20:42 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3moqptdun4c24https://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mofgvvckac2pThis is one of those dull but useful posts that you re-read when you need it… reporting on engineering investment across the organisational stack.

I am not a fan of Elon or the IPO but I am a fan of Space exploration. My one positive out of this is how it could be good generally for Aerospace and the SpaceTech sector. I have always wanted to be a pilot and fly things.11 Jun 2026 19:00 +0000at://did:plc:5byblrd2tjfkfdxe6i4telcq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnzvwxkbrc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/gemma-cto.bsky.social/post/3mnycg67u4c2jNeither Anthropics Mythos or Fable models are covered by zero data retention agreements.
