That's super cool; would you mind sharing your folder?

I am wondering if engineering simulations for fluids take advantage of GPUs? I studied CFD back in 2005 or so and we used ANSYS Fluent as a solver and it took forever to converge with sufficient accuracy.

If anyone in engineering has insight into this, I'd love to know.

Technically, non-fluid simulations could also be sped up using GPUs? Dynamics, solid state mechanics, thermal simulations, etc.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Everyday, I read articles about VC. How to pitch, how to prepare, how to strategize a startup to ensure future growth, scalability, etc.

Let's just take an article from our own backyard: https://blog.ycombinator.com/ycs-essential-startup-advice/

Almost 800 points on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15331016

Quoting the article, "Growth is always a focus for startups, since a startup without growth is usually a failure." This is article doesn't apply to folks who want to stay small (the discussion of this topic ~ 3 people company).

You could have approached your argument a little less strongly - simply stating your opinions. Authoritative didactic statements require data to back it up otherwise it just sounds abrasive and completely unproductive.

I found your comment a bit abrasive, yet you’re lacking the grit to support it besides just anecdotal evidence (just as the parent comment).

I have yet another opinion - I’ve seen a wide variety of articles on HN from how to grow fast to how to stay small. We’re not going to stay productive by arguing without data.

You seriously can’t tell it’s a AR/VR headset by looking at a guy wearing glasses with two wires coming out of it?

You may not know what MagicLeap - the company - is, but you certainly don’t need to be told it’s a AR/VR headset.

I agree with obscure random crap that shows up on HN and takes forever to figure out what it is. This isn’t one of those cases. It’s utterly obvious.

This kind of thing drives me crazy! But, for a small project that’s not obvious to anyone - this makes sense.

Look at Apple’s full iPhone landing page. It’d be silly to explain at the top “iPhone is a wireless digital communication device.” It’s obvious that dude is wearing glasses that look like AR/VR headset. You ain’t gotta spell it out for people.

Thank you, absolutely fascinating talk. It was hard to develop video games back in the day and just as it was hard to beat those games. What a wonderful era of ingenuity, creativity and passion.

No one is talking about resume. I’m talking about his approach.

If I see this kind of resume land or my desk, it gets thrown out.

I found his approach tacky, loud and insincere.

Of course you should be talking about yourself on your resume but a couple of this that are different here:

- Wtf is up with music - 51%/49% thing. - Publicly asking to be hired that reflects poorly on his current job at Google. - Excessively loud self marketing

why not have a simple site with your accomplishments? Why all the excess bullshit?

Checking his website, it reeks of narcissism. There are better ways to assert yourself than to do all the corny things he has done on his self promotion website.

Do you have any examples of "You might get sued for this"?

Calling $16k on a security that is amidst an explosive growth is hardly insightful.

“If some listened they might have made some profit” - I think you’re giving yourself too much credit here.

Also don’t forget - we still have to write certain routines in Assembly even after so many years. Number of abstraction layers doesn’t mean complete automation.

I do not recommend this. See my comment above.
