  • You would want to look for an R730, which can be had for not too much more. The 20 series was the “end of an era” and the 30 series was the beginning of the next era. Most importantly for this application, R30s use DDR4 whereas R20s use DDR3.

    RAM speed matters a lot for ML applications and DDR4 is about 2x as fast as DDR3 in all relevant measurements.

    If you’re going to offload any part of these models to CPU, which you 99.99% will have to do for a model of this size with this class of hardware, skip the 20s and go to the 30s.


  • Yes, you are correct on broad terms. Life has no objective meaning. It has a lot of subjective meaning, though.

    You loved your cat and your cat loved you. You wouldn’t be upset about this if those two things weren’t true. Does that matter in the grand scheme of things? No, but it matters to you and it mattered to your cat.

    I understand where you’re coming from. I have lived in despair after friends, family, and pets have “moved on”. It never gets easier, and I am tearing up thinking about the many moments like this that I have experienced, and the many more that I will experience.

    It’s probably very hard to hear right now, but you should soldier through this. You don’t have to, but there are a lot of relationships that you will experience that you don’t even know about yet. There are people and pets that you haven’t met yet or that haven’t even been born yet who you will have an impact on, and who will have an impact on you.

    And though this kind of loss is not something that a human can ever really leave behind, one day you will understand it, and you’ll leave a comment like this one. And you’ll know that every relationship we have is valuable (in one way or another) and worth sticking around to experience.

    Life is meaningless, but only on a grand scale. The pain you’re feeling now only tells you that life is worth experiencing, even if it doesn’t really mean anything in the end.

    RIP to your cat. You probably won’t ever really, “get over” the loss, but this relationship has helped you understand how to love.

    Yeah, my parents didn’t do it, and I ended up getting phimosis in my early twenties and having to get it done then.

    On the one hand I do appreciate that they left it up to me, but on the other hand it was intense pain for a couple of weeks and at the time I was really wishing that they had just gotten it out of the way.

    For me, it’s a wash. That may or may not be typical but it’s probably slightly better that they left me the choice? Can’t put the foreskin back on the penis I guess.

    My son was born with hypospadias, so I didn’t really have a choice with him. Had to get it done or he would be peeing out of the bottom of his dick forever, which saved me and my wife a difficult decision.

    All of this said though, I personally prefer being circumcised. Cleaning is way way easier, and in my own personal experience I have a lot more sensitivity when doing anything fun with my hog. My partners have also preferred it, and some of them shared with me that they had previously gotten UTIs from uncircumcised partners.

    Like I said, I appreciate that my parents left it up to me, but at the same time I think the genital mutilation trope is way overblown in the majority of cases. Not all of course.



  • The Ford Mach-E is excellent. I have also heard great things about Kia/Hyundai, VW and Volvo EVs as well.

    In 2016 I drove a Tesla Model S P85D and I was surprised at how crappy the interior was considering it was a six figure car. And I don’t mean minimalist, I mean poor quality.

    Back then, Tesla was you only real option. Today, there’s a lot of great competition in the market.
