Yeah my experience in the past was that datacenter hardware (air cooled, at least, I've never dealt with water cooled) uses tiny fans at or about 15000RPM, so it matches basically what you're saying or worse. I always loved this v

It's been a while since I messed with serious hardware, what's the cooling noise level? I guess they have to be water cooled or the rack format 8u ones would be about 100db

Directionally I think social media is going to be regarded like tetraethyl lead and asbestos. (So is a lot of the ways we use plastic, though maybe not actual e.g. polyethlyene itself)

It's a bit like backtesting, in finance. Quite useful to establish whether your algorithm is sane and coherent, no use at all in determining if it is actually useful, to my understanding.

Seconded. No job is worth damaging yourself permanently like that, even if it's "just" a temporary burnout, pull the ejection handle. It's a life safety issue. Start looking before you leave, preferably, but at the very

I had to come back and comment because your "misunderstood genius" really resonated with me. It's even beyond that, in my opinion. What if everyone had perfect health, physically and mentally, and had been educated to the abs

I think I would actually characterize it as a mutual change - obviously the model doesn't change as far as I can tell, but changing the harness and context changes its behavior so wildly that it might as well. Bit of a pas de deux - I

Yep. What you find often is that the drug is effective right away, at a 20-30-40% effectiveness level. But over time you learn to take advantage of the benefits more effectively, and get more used to the side effects, so it tends to incre

If you're borderline, talk to the doc about a trial of guanfacine. (note that some people HATE it, for exactly this reason) It's the opposite - if your engine is always redlining, it sets a rate limiter and gives you the chance to

Brother the test is quick, easy, and painless, and the results can be lifechanging. The other thing is, ADHD in my mind is really a syndrome that starts with a symptom - inattention - that can be caused by so, so many things. I have both, b

10mbps constant = ~3TiB a month, which is close to what I assume they're doing to acquire the video (that's about what a few SD x264 streams would run). So you don't even need a fast connection, per se.
