Meanwhile, my laptop has the fanciest processor I could find last summer
<SnoopJeDi>
SaganRaptop, a lot of my ambivalence probably comes from how hard it is to work parallelism into the more interesting problems in accelerators
<SaganRaptop>
fair
<SnoopJeDi>
probably more embarrassingly-parallel stuff in analysis

SaganRaptop, SnoopJeDi: In my experience there are mostly two different types of data: Stuff I load into RAM, and images.
<SnoopJeDi>
what's the difference 😈
<SaganRaptop>
e_14159_: I'm reminded of how tutorials on Astro Image J make a point of considering settings for opening sets of images so you don't run out of RAM

SaganRaptop, watched Chains of Command with my gf last night, so good ;_;
<SaganRaptop>
:D
<SnoopJeDi>
it's crazy to rewatch it knowing now that David Warner took the role with 3 days of notice and didn't memorize his lines
<SnoopJeDi>
he was reading them over Patrick Stewart's shoulder haha

SnoopJeDi meant to say: SaganRaptop, watched Chain of Command with my gf last night, so good ;_;
<e_14159_>
SnoopJeDi: Ah. Never saw that.

So you're excavating fans? A noble endeavour :P
<SnoopJeDi>
it's a remarkably thorough OC for a shitposting group

Then again, shitposting often produces amazing content

counterpoint: I'm consistently impressed by how well Discord does. I mean, it's definitely still an Electron app, but it's like a breath of fresh air in comparison.
