    That model simplifies thought into a painfully linear process, and overestimates the creativity people put into the "small decisions" that push a project forward. Most decisions ar…

    I'm convinced this "signal" has already been hijacked. Maybe a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, but I've noticed more and more egregious spelling errors that make little sense from a hum…

    Did you consider the R9700 or B70 when you went for the MI100? If so, what made you choose the MI100? I've been playing with picking up a card in this class but haven't been able t…

    Are you increasing your water intake when you do? That sounds like dehydration. Creatine takes a large amount of water to appropriately process, and during the loading phase, your …

    Most do, in my experience? I worked at Argonne for a while, and they absolutely treated their profession with deadly seriousness. I didn't meet anyone who took the stance of "Move …

    More specifically, someone actively building on top of Amazon decrying the exploitation of workers and the environment is demonstrably hypocritical. And "engineers building things …

    I'm specifically saying "I'm entitled to displace people with automation built on previous work, but automation that affects me shouldn't be allowed" is a particularly hypocritical…

    And you're cutting an awfully wide swath in the opposite direction; most tech gains value by exploiting or displacing people. Economies of scale don't just exist at the absolute to…

    Controversial take: It's weird to see people in tech taking this stance. They've been riding the same wave of exploiting the average person through economies of scale for the last …

    I've always thought about doing something like this in the Midwest US, but was always a bit nervous about condensation damaging the components over time; did you run with that sort…
