I did meet Larry the cat as I was leaving - the security guard was trying to make sure he didn't get out! Larry was very friendly - fun to meet a celeb.

With Gelsinger Gone, Who Benefits From An Intel Break Up? We did not think that today we would be writing about Pat Gelsinger "retiring" from the company that he loves best and most. Intel’s prodigal and now

Pat Gelsinger is out as Intel CEO, and the debate begins anew about breaking Intel up. Consider TSMC and the US government when calculating your odds.

I feel for Intel. Pat certainly had vision, and he understood the technology. I fear more for Intel now. I hope they can chart a path through, it's not in the industry's best interest for them to disintegrate now.

Great job for Team UKSCC, winning this years #SC24 IndySCC on debut!

Some of these started out in the #CIUK Student Cluster Challenge competition, so it's great that we can show that our best in the UK can go head to head on the world stage and compete.
