  • It’s been 6 years for me, but at my peak I used to eat 2 every morning for breakfast.

    At one point I looked at all the eggs and chicken breast I was eating by being “healthy” and realized it was not in any way rational or sustainable. How could one person (myself) be responsible for the death of one chicken and two chicks PER DAY! I imagined what it would look like to stuff all those birds into my living room and how there’s no way I could farm something on that scale myself (or want to).

    So I switched to a vegan diet and never went back. My personal morals tell me I shouldn’t eat animal products, but for the average person who doesn’t agree I can understand why consumption is through the roof. This separation we have of living creatures into commodities, all behind a legally protected black curtain.

    When all that’s talked about is how much per dozen, your mind never really stops to think about the rest.





  • Please just give us self hosting nerds SR-IOV on affordable cards. I really want to have a Linux VM and Windows VM that both have access to a GPU simultaneously.

    I was hoping Intel would let some of these enterprise locked features trickle down as a value add, but no dice. Every year AMD just undercuts NVIDIA by a small amount, but it doesn’t compete on some of that tech NVIDIA has so it’s a wash.

    But they’re too concerned it would eat into their enterprise cards where they make boatloads, so it’s not going to happen. Imagine if consumer CPUs didn’t support virtualization, it would be insane and that’s where we are with GPUs today.


  • I believed him at first, why wouldn’t I? Self driving was starting to take shape, the demos looked good, I assumed what he was saying was legitimate.

    I remember starting to question things around the time of the Tesla Semi reveal. It didn’t make sense to me that you’d use heavy, short range batteries in an industry that runs by driving as far as possible, for as cheap as possible, hauling as much as possible. There were just too many compromises and he didn’t give any details other than acceleration (who cares in trucking).

    After that I started looking into him more and realized his bullshit spread through everything he touched. I honestly think most people are simply not paying attention to him, they just read headlines and since headlines never call him out and only amp up the crazy ambitious things he says, people believe he’s a genius.

    That seems to be slowly changing as he opens his stupid mouth about politics, but he’s pivoting to a new audience now.





  • You hear sayings like “family is everything” all throughout your life, but it’s only partially true. There is an unspoken assumption that there is love within the family and to not let little things pull you apart.

    That is not what you have here. He does not care about you in the way you do about him. As another commenter said, trying to have him live up to an ideal you have in your head will never work. He’s a square peg that you are trying to put into a round hole and every time you do it hurts and causes you emotional distress. He doesn’t feel that. It’s asymmetric.

    So you have to ask yourself why you are holding on to him as a father if he is not willing to be one. It’s unfortunate but you may have to accept the reality that you don’t have one.
