Ok, but you didn't say why they're bad. I bought into that hype back in the day. I don't anymore. They're a tool, they're not inherently good or bad.

Amazing, TIL. I'm usually picky about words, but I've gotten this one wrong. Turns out the verb "jive" like was used here actually means to speak falsely -- a sort of literally/figuratively meaning inversion.

I do my best to block ads. But YouTube is most likely to leak through. Within the past week, I've actually opted to watch more than one complete ad on YouTube, because it was relevant. (More to the channel than me, but interesting

What I see there is that the EPYC 7601 (first graph, second from the bottom) is much faster than the Xeon 6138 -- it's only slower than /two/ Xeons ("the much more expensive dual Xeon Gold 6138 configuration"). The

This is why I care so much about grammar. Author wrote "1242 times the number 9" but meant "the number 9 1242 times". A very minor difference, just the order of the words, but such a change in meaning!
