Staff Software Engineer at Honeycomb.io. Former gamedev, into bikes and making things (mostly woodworking and code). I’m probably too much of a generalist. Very much on the progressive side. Opinions are mine.
Same! I just finished Season 1 10 minutes ago.

People won’t be willing to pay much for outmoded GPUs. Also, GPU infrastructure changes between generations. You can’t always use an old data structure for new servers; they need new cooling and power systems.

For the dot com boom fiber optic cables had a useful life measured in decades. The GPUs that everybody’s installing now have a useful life of a couple of years. They also cost more to run than they generate in actual value. It feels like all we’re doing is generating billions of dollars of e-waste.

I’m really not thrilled by the idea that our job evolves from designing ways to solve interesting and complex problems, to evaluating if a machine solved the problems well enough. It erases creativity which is mostly why I do this.

Everyone thinks that Musk is a genius until he does or says something within their area of expertise. Then they realize he’s a total idiot.

Are you sure it’s not just mutuals? This place seems to do a lot of follow back.

Apple’s AirPods have Live Listen with frequency compensation, which I have been told is as good or better than many more expensive devices. But I think you also need to set it up with an Apple device.

Any chance it’s because all the political calls ended? I had the same drop off with no change to LI.
