mrintellectual··on Celebrity fascination tied to lower intelligence
I think this paper is more about being fascinated with a particular celebrity rather than celebrity culture in general.

Also took a look at your comment history - there isn't anything in there that would make me think you're dumb. Appreciate your forthrightness though.

mrintellectual··on Ask HN: How do you have fun without alcohol?
Slowly wean yourself off of alcohol.
mrintellectual··on KiCad 6
> RF is still voodoo...

I could not agree more.

mrintellectual··on We handle 80TB and 5M page views a month for under $400
Indeed not the greatest advertisement for their infrastructure, but regardless you have to admit that <$400 is fairly impressive.
mrintellectual··on Hello, Youki
Awesome project, and congrats on your success! Nearly 3k stars in such a short amount of time is an amazing accomplishment.
mrintellectual··on How I took my SaaS from idea to sold in 14 months
First off, congrats on your success.

One question - I know you mention in the article that your project was becoming a bit of a burden, but do you think you could've taken it further with a bit more time?

mrintellectual··on Arm-Based 128-Core Ampere CPUs Cost a Fraction of x86 Price
I've said it before and I'll say it again, directly comparing core count and clock speeds between RISC and CISC (ARM vs x86) architectures is mildly nonsensical.

With that being said, 250W for 128 cores @ 3GHz is fairly impressive.

mrintellectual··on Leetcode has taught me that I'm a bad engineer
If you've ever done math competitions at the middle/high school level, you'll know that they are fairly poor at preparing you for more applied math. Same goes for Leetcode: it's great for competitions and recreational coding, but "real" software engineering is very different and is much more on the applied side.

Software engineering also requires fairly strong communication skills - something Leetcode doesn't help with at all.
