That was kind of a ... weird example. I don't think I've asked many people in my circle if they think they "owe" anything to their parents, but by their actions I'd say 90% of them do think they owe a lot to them, a

Not related to the article, but how would one begin to become smart on optimizing GPU workloads? I've been charged with deploying an application that is a mixture of heuristic search and inference, that has been exclusively single-user

It's self evident to you that there's no effect on brain chemistry that accompanies the experience? A change that could have an impact on the condition? You might be right, maybe you're even probably right, but it's not

A question so noob I'm almost shy to ask it: The simplest scenario in the article is a single Redis instance residing on the same machine as the application. What's the benefit to this versus just storing data directly within the
