While I love the thought, I’m not going to hold my breath on replacing my 880 TB of spinning platters with SSDs.

Fuck yeah! Go science!

Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

Itanium

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

And the Xeon Phi (Knight’s Ferry/Landing) was in the GPU space, but only in GPGPU. The idea was that the Xeon Phi, with an x86-compatible core, could, with less modification, run software that was originally targeted to a standard x86 CPU. Something like 68-70 x86-64 cores.

I had a couple of them when I was taking parallel programming back in the day. Nifty little devices, but largely outshined by distributed multiprocessing for x86-64 and paled in comparison to the power of CUDA. That might be my own bias talking though.

silicone

It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

Silicon is for computer chips, silicone is for boobies.

Great, it’s better if you link them where the claims were made though.

I hadn’t heard of earth.org so I looked them up: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/earth-org-bias/

Not too bad. Though I’m well versed in battery tech and industry, it’s an incredibly dirty industry, coming with cited, fair sources is paramount.

No, you claimed:

Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car

Furthermore, when asked about a source for these claims, you come out swinging with the ever popular “no, you” defense.

Again, link your sources (MIT study) please.

It’s not rocket appliances.

A toad a so

I actually have a similar model for testing audio tubes. I have several 100 watt amplifier heads for my guitars and a few more home built amps for both guitar and listening audio. I even have several tube preamps I’ve designed with one or two tubes.

Such a cool era of technology to me.

Coincidentally, in addition to having a BS in EE and an MS in CompE, I was a senior engineer working on battery control systems for three seasons with a Formula E team in my previous job.

At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man

and

If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight.

You’re right, I’m not stupid which is precisely why I haven’t “chimed in” on your unqualified opinions.

I was sarcastically quoting that comment, but I think using a red herring severely weakens their statement and is quite childish.

Imagine being so immature you can’t mention someone without calling them a petty name, even when they do something good.
