First Sprint Lessons from ME 2110 at Georgia Tech Last week, my team completed our first sprint for ME 2110, and let's just say... a lot didn’t go as planned. The competition rules require our robot to fit within a 2ft x 1ft x 1.5ft box—otherwise, you're disqualified. Going into Monday night before our 8 AM competition, everything was looking great. Our robot was successfully performing the reach, release, and collection tasks. But when it came time to box it up, things took a turn. Our solenoid device exceeded the size limits, and the fix we had in mind wasn’t cutting it. To make things worse, our strings got tangled and stretched, changing their tensions and pushing the robot beyond the box’s boundaries. But hey, that’s the beauty of the first sprint—lots of lessons learned and plenty of revisions ahead. Looking forward to round 2 and hoping for a smoother experience! 💡 #engineering #georgiatech

I’ve watched this 30th Anniversary video a few times now and I absolutely love it. I feel it not only speaks to players but also speaks to game developers that have worked at PlayStation and have been a part of the journey. Even if a title you worked on wasn’t featured, the emotions in the video connect to what it felt like to work there - for me I identified with 27 of those emotions: Love - Friendship - Wonder - Sacrifice - Adventure - Courage - Skill- Celebration- Teamwork - Fear - Legends - Companionship - Expression - Mayhem - Creativity - Honor - Chaos - Exploration - Resolve - Mischief - Intensity - Freedom - Connection - Heroics - Joy - Drive - Persistence It’s hard not be there for the big celebrations after being there for a huge part of your career however, I’m focusing on supporting developers in a different capacity now - through coaching and consultancy with Co-Collaborate Game development is hard but also very rewarding. Given all these emotions that developers can face, make sure you support and invest in them - don’t cut your people budget too tightly and fail in that. As this video shows - people really do make wonderful things that bring a lot of joy.

Happy 40th birthday to Dell Technologies - One of the Greatest Examples of a startup in history. I can't think of another company with such dedicated leadership, agility, and sustenance for around 40 years and still going strong. #Inspiration #Gratitude #Kudos   > #Leadership: Founders (Michael Dell) are the best leaders, with their infinite passion and energy. Mr. Dell has led from the front in the last 4 decades and is ever hungry to do it even more. > #Ethics: The single most important reason for its existence and sustenance for 4 decades is the zero tolerance on ethical practices and holding onto the highest standards of transparency, corporate governance, and CSR > #Flexibility and Adaptability: Was & Is always open to market feedback and has dynamism in implementing business models and strategies. > #CustomerService - The novel idea of a good product + better technology + best customer services is an unbeatable combination. Dell Technologies never missed an opportunity to innovate products or services based on evolving customer needs. > #Growth: Grown multifold across geographies, organically and inorganically, and is top of the table in most product lines and services. > #Disruptions & #Risks: Always ready to operate and navigate uncharted territory and technological advancements like Cloud, AI, IoT, etc.

Today as Dell Technologies celebrates their 40 years in business, this Video makes me think how important it is to find that "First" of your own and your company with each passing year of our lifetime. There is no better SLA or a milestone if you can continue to grow and work towards doing industry firsts every year...

As I'm testing NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM with Meta Llama3, decided to use it to create a message to celebrate Dell Technologies 40th anniversary and this is the result: root@node039:/opt/tritonserver# curl -X POST localhost:8000/v2/models/ensemble/generate -d '{ "text_input": "<|begin_of_text|><<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>{{Today is the 40th Dell Technologies anniversary, can you please write a phrase to congratulate Dell Technologies?}}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>", "parameters": { "max_tokens": 1000, "bad_words":[""], "stop_words":"<|eot_id|>", "temperature":0.8, "top_p":0.7 } }' {"context_logits":0.0,"cum_log_probs":0.0,"generation_logits":0.0,"model_name":"ensemble","model_version":"1","output_log_probs":[0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0],"sequence_end":false,"sequence_id":0,"sequence_start":false,"text_output":"\n\nHere's a phrase to congratulate Dell Technologies on their 40th anniversary:\n\n\"Happy 40th anniversary to Dell Technologies!
