Yeah in a world where if you post a Ring video of someone taking a crowbar to your mailbox which gets a strike in your neighborhood group and the video down for "hate", yeah, as useful as it is, the mass surveillance stuff is pretty alarming.

They used to refer to it as GPGPU (general purpose) but they just shortened it maybe 10 years ago?

I was going to say you need an extension cable. My first dual 3090 build I had three issues. First was the pcie extension wouldn't support gen4, so I had to change to gen3 in the bios. Second issue was that depending on which slot, you couldn't get x16/x16 and it would drop to x16/x8 unless you had it configured right. Third, I finally gave up and just had the card resting first inside the case and then outside which if fan kicks up, it'll jiggle around, so I had to make some makeshift holder to keep the card sitting there.

One tiny comment, I think the article meant "steward" not Stuart. LOL

That's actually brilliant. Same issue w/ some sports cars too or even cars coasting in slow stop and go traffic when coming up from behind from high speed traffic.
That was enjoyable. And the artwork doubled it.

I was going to say, do a file -i to find the encoding of frodo.py. I note the file man page has a -0 or --print0 command that adds a ‘\0’ that can be 'cut', but strings works too.

I came into a company once that had built their own server room. It had a couple hundred pizza boxes in it and was always hot as hell even with full blast air conditioning. When I retired almost all of them to use virtual servers, it turns out that 1) a lot of the chipsets internallyl still had plastic film on them (to prevent scratches? Why would you put film on them? There were even some CPUs that didn't have any coolers on them, just film) and 2) A lot of the inpflow and outflow air ports also had plastic shipping film that was never removed. I was completely shocked. So I fixed dozens if not a hundred computers simply by removing a piece of tape.
If you've ever watched the movie Zero Theorem, their data analysts use data captures in fluid dynamics to manipulate and process the data. I always that that was a really interesting concept.
