Social media isn’t safe so this is mostly science, gardening and social commentary.

I garden for food and pleasure.

AI promotion/ use = nuclear block

Pretty sure ALT text is to feed machine learning. Training databases are valuable.
My issue- was conflating this with a life estimate I saw elsewhere. The math still holds though.

If you dig into semiconductor failure and FIT and MTTF and Arrhenius and you think about running a GPU at 100% capacity, then you glance at the heuristic that a 10 degree C rise halves the life of the device, and you might be running it 40-50C hotter than the norm?

10 year life, eh?

You too!

A “private alpha” with public availability later in the year.

Take a year haircut off your estimate, at least. I guess you didn’t get past the headline?

You have press releases. I work with this stuff.

Believe what you want.

I can’t ID my employer or specifics but the replacement cycle is about 2.5-3 years at work.

Nope. Because the product LAUNCH was June 22, 2020. How many have been thrashing away since June 23rd 2020? Zero.

It’s a great engine!

Have I got a movie for you!

Going from memory, that’s the story. So you get massive strings. Bar chords don’t care. I learned “mary had a little lamb” and that was about it. Migrated to piano/vox from there.

Cloudy here. I am so jealous!

I have, but now I wonder what ELSE I missed? Hopefully this is just the UK not sharing intel?

If done correctly it can sound amazing. But other than whacking at some chords occasionally I lack the skills and strength

A SRV setup is supposed to be a whole step down on all 6 strings. But it still feel like you’re fretting tram wire rope

One Triiiiiiiilon dollars!!!! 💸

That’s wonderful! I made the mistake of building a strat/Warmouth hybrid thinking I wanted to sound like SRV. I think I put .013 on an electric. Railroad tie dunlop frets. earvana nut. Nice guitar. I still suck. It should have a 9 set.

I disagree. A dishwasher made in 1992 is still working. A dishwasher made in 2022 isn’t.

In F2?

Maybe it’s just jealousy on my part because my piles of books everywhere looks messy, not artistic? 😂

I feel like that is just multimillionaire hoarder chic. Not that I am above it!
