looking into it, seems like you’re actually right. looks like it runs best with a solid GPU. there may be other distributed computing projects better suited for abundant RAM.

Fold At Home!
You can essentially donate your processing power to various science projects that need it to compute protein folding simulations. I used to run it whenever I wasn’t actively using my PC. This does cost electricity and increase rate of wear and tear on the device, as with any sustained high computational load. But it’s cool! :]

Only 20 minutes!? You’re a great internet detective! Thanks so much! Bummer that it’s not some old obscure movie I can watch, but at least now it won’t bug me that I never found out

I have heard of this mystical engineering technique called “looking it up in a table” by which one avoids copious amounts of math

some group of nerds in the future: “ok but this is rumored to be the MATHEMATICALLY BEST POSSIBLE parametric drawer organizer. If we can break the file encryption, humanity will become so effortlessly organized that we’ll shave centuries off of becoming a space-faring species.”

I wish I could say I’m not an engineer but I become the de-facto engineer and IT technician at every place I work 🤦♀️
I’m also flattered though. :]

Yeah I miss when not every company was just “qUaRteRlY iNcReAsEs OvEr aLL eLsE” and it wasn’t rare for a business to care about safety, quality, the law, etc.
the company I work at has vestiges of safety programs but repeatedly denies my requests for very simple safety controls from not blocking the fire alarm and exits with inventory, to an oxygen monitor in a room full of compressed gas tanks (some of which are hydrogen. fun!)
yeah i gotta get the fuck outta here.

just because i learned to do math doesn’t mean I’m not still afraid of it 😭

Yup. Just like every other place I’ve ever worked. Can’t see past quarterly profit increases until everything inevitably crashes and burns

That’s what workplace investigations are supposed to be, yes. My workplace unfortunately seems more preoccupied with assigning blame to operators and writing increasingly complex rule changes that wouldn’t be necessary if they spent, let me see, literally more than $0 on upgrading our tech…

“humans make mistakes”
so many goddamn iNvEsTiGaTiOnS I have to write for work boil down to this
if you’re too cheap to engineer out the possibility of human error, don’t come crying to me, a human, about it

isn’t it kinda dumb to have coding exams that aren’t open book? if you don’t understand the material, on a well-designed test you’ll run out of time even with access to the entire internet

Isn’t defending a viewpoint with evidence kinda important even if you think the viewpoint is a “no brainer?”
Nobody owes anyone on the internet a well-researched argument, but those who are up to the task of making them can be pretty influential. Maybe even start to chip away at the corruption of people who have fallen to intolerance propaganda… not all of them are doomed.
One of my best friends is a former manosphere incel. I’m a former perpetually-offended Tumblr SJW. Both of us changed our viewpoints because people pointed out flaws with them. Not everyone changes their viewpoints but some do—though likely not when confronted only with “fuck off”
