Thank you for these recaps.

Looking at Blackwell and not seeing the slightest mention of a single server solution, let alone a standalone GPU, paints a sad picture for constrained budgets. Makes me feel stupid in retrospective about asking AMD people for a PCIe MI300.

Barely getting 25MBps reads out of old data on a WD SATA SSD. One would expect the controller to refresh cells every once in a while...right?

Borrow checker and having to either handle or unwrap *everything* for starters. I know that's advocating for bad practices, but it feels oppressive when prototyping.
