** Roast ***
* You've spent more time talking about your Carnatic raga detector than actually building it – at this rate, LLMs will be composing ragas before your detector can identify them.
* You bought a 7950X processor but can't figure out what to do with it – the computing equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to the grocery store once a week.
* You're so concerned about work-life balance that you took a sabbatical to think about your career, only to spend it commenting on HN about other people's careers.
*** End ***
I'll be in my room crying, in case anyone's looking for me.
- maccard 2y agoThat sabbatical one is savage.
- rakejake 2y agoFunnily enough, I'm putting the 7950X to some use in the Carnatic Raga detector project since a lot of audio operations are heavy on CPU. But that last one nearly killed me. I'll have to go to Gemini or GPT for some therapy after that one.
- atonse 2y agoMy roast: Roast You've spent so much time discussing Apple vs Microsoft that Tim Cook and Satya Nadella probably have a joint restraining order against you. Your comments about HTTPS everywhere suggest you're the kind of person who wears a tinfoil hat... but only after thoroughly researching the optimal thickness for blocking government signals. You seem to have strong opinions about Flash - we get it, you're old enough to remember when websites had intro animations and your laptop could double as a space heater. ——— Totally forgot about the flash debates of the early 2010s!
