Beyond research

Two dogs run this household, and neither of them cares about AI accelerators.

Winter, a white Old English Sheepdog, and Oreo, a black Labrador mix, both staring intently at a piece of sushi held in chopsticks.
The reliable consequence of trying to eat anything at home.

Winter

Winter is an Old English Sheepdog, almost two years old, and mostly fur. He has the sheepdog habit of positioning himself in doorways, which means he is simultaneously in every room and in the way of all of them.

Holding the doorway, as is tradition.

Oreo

Oreo is a black Labrador mix, almost four, and the senior partner of the operation. He is significantly more dignified than Winter, though the margin narrows considerably when food is involved.

Recovering, and making sure everyone knows it.
