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.
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 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 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.
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.
If I see this kind of resume land or my desk, it gets thrown out.
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?
“If some listened they might have made some profit” - I think you’re giving yourself too much credit here.
It is not even good for beginners as so many things he does is completely and utterly wrong. People who do not have the expertise in their domain should not be teaching and perpetuating wrong methods and creating a generation of bad engineers/makers.
If you get a chance, please watch his YT series on KiCAD. Finally, he gets a PCB made and fumbles his way through.
Teachers are supposed to be domain experts that can lead students in the best-known-method path. This guy doesn't even come close.
If you want solid tutorials on Embedded Electronics, I recommend Patrick Hood Daniel's Newbiehack channel.

Not only does it skip the Arduino framework, he goes to a great length to explain fundamentals of embedded electronics. He is a fantastic teacher and above all, an expert at what he does.
