@GordonGekko420 A man works on his Thinkpad for many years, and he puts in 80 hours a week at his IB job. And afterwards he comes home, and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always remain an Excel jockey.

This is my MacBook Pro. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My MacBook Pro is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My MacBook Pro, without me, is useless. Without my MacBook Pro, I am useless

The MacBook Pro is a lightweight, aluminum-cased, battery-powered, SSD-fed mobile workstation. It processes instructions at a speed of 3.2 GHz, with a screen resolution of 5 million pixels, and a unix-like operating system. This is my MacBook Pro. Repeat after me.

@ryxcommar No experience, but I’ve heard woodworkers spend a good chunk of time on making their woodworking tools

Somewhat adjacent — filmmakers make movies about making of movies, writers write characters who write

@ryxcommar Coding happens to be uniquely suitable for making tools for coding. In a way that for coding, the skill set needed to perform the activity has the broadest overlap with the skill set for making tools for that activity in comparison to any other activity.

@Jack_Raines Is this the same sentiment as your infinite games piece, or are you talking specifically about authenticity?
Cause there is an argument to be made that taking a finite-games view pushes for better writing

there is no good code or bad code
only code that makes money

Streaming services should offer all first episodes for free instead of doing free month trials

@afshawnl @ANSYS @PyTorch Just from looking at this notes pic and the fact that you are using PyTorch, there must be some similarities between neural nets and flow simulators. I assume both need to compute a bunch of gradients in parallel?

[mark @alright_silver]

@afshawnl Any success after that can be written off as inevitable because of all your years of experience

Happy birthday!
