"[#Helios the Sun] rides his chariot, he shines upon men and deathless gods, and piercingly he gazes with his eyes from his golden helmet. Bright rays beam dazzlingly from him, and his bright locks streaming from the temples of his head gracefully enclose his far-seen face."
Homeric Hymn 31
Silver Kylix, 3rd century BCE, Pantikapaion

#RackScale is on the rise, but it's not for everyone... yet
Still buying B200s and MI300Xs? Don't feel bad, #Nvidia and #AMD's #NVL72 and #Helios rack systems aren't really for the #enterprise anyway
With all the hype around Nvidia's NVL72, AMD's newly announced Helios, and Intel's upcoming Jaguar Shores rack systems, you'd be forgiven for thinking the days of eight-way HGX servers are numbered.
Spoiler alert: they're probably not going anywhere anytime soon

"The Corinthians say that Poseidon had a dispute with Helios (the Sun) about the land [of Korinthia], and that Briareos [one of the Hekatoncheires] arbitrated between them, assigning to Poseidon the Isthmos and the parts adjoining, and giving to Helios the height above the city."

"O Father Zeus, O blessed and immortal gods, take vengeance on the crew of Laertes' son Odysseus; in their lawlessness they have slain the cattle in which I always took delight, both as I climbed the starry sky and as I took my path again back down towards the earth. Unless these men pay a just atonement for my cattle, I will descend to Hades' kingdom and shine among the dead."
Homer, Odyssey 12.261

"Against Phineus once on a time was the Titan Phaethon [Helios] angered, wroth for the victory of [Phineus] the prophet of Phoibos [Apollon], and robbed him of his sight and sent the shameless Harpies, a winged race to dwell with him to his sorrow."

"When Arge, a huntress, was pursuing a stag, she is said to have told it: ‘Though you equal the speed of the Sun (Sol), yet I will catch up with you.’ Sol, in anger, changed her into a doe."

Helios in the Cathedral
Some more photos of Helios in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral earlier this month when I visited there with members of Blarney Photography Club. Apart from the photographing the art installation, it was nice to walk around the Cathedral and see it.

Yesterday was the #SummerSolstice here in Europe, marking Helios' longest work day.
"For Helios' lot is toil every day and there is never any respite for him and his horses, from the moment rose-fingered Eos leaves Okeanos and goes up into the sky."

PSA: Don't overpay for a #vintagelens. There are so many alternatives out there for a fraction of the price. Getting tired of the #Helios prices, because Hollywood found them? A Pentacon Prakticar 50/2,4, worthy of #shittylenschallenge and #CrappyCommieCameraParty swirls as well - for just 25€ ... (and it also works on modern 100 MP sensors as shown)

"Poseidon and Helios might be said to be rivals. [...] And it may be that #Helios was vexed at the boy [#Nerites] travelling about in the sea and wished that he should travel among the constellations instead."
