    Whatever you think of the believability of OpenAI&#39;s intentions, I&#39;m encouraged by how many senior people have applied to fill this role. If you think you can make a difference there, I encourage you to apply, and the rest of us should encourage them and others in the field to do the right thing. https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4439472781/

    Off to Colorado for a couple of weeks. Don&amp;#39;t miss the HPC Hallway Huddles, everyone! https://hpc-hallway.github.io/The-Hallway/ Usually a cast of experts with a mix of new people. New participants always welcome!

    One of our researchers wants us to install the #NOAA CASA tool suite, which requires FUSE mounts if I follow the recommended instructions. Any issues with enabling FUSE for general users on a cluster? (I know some tools depend on it internally but we havenʻt made this part of our routine toolkit support.) Anyone else supporting the CASA tools?

    @yaxu Well, of course you are welcome to think so, and thatʻs your right, but personally I prefer it to the alternatives. IMO the worst of these alterntives is MS Word, which is unworkable for any large complicated document with anything but minimal formatting requirements (and not even very good at that). With Overleaf, collaboration is possible and applying a little organizational skill can even make it pleasant.
