** Roast ***
* You've spent more time talking about your Carnatic raga detector than actually building it – at this rate, LLMs will be composing ragas before your detector can identify them.
* You bought a 7950X processor but can't figure out what to do with it – the computing equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to the grocery store once a week.
* You're so concerned about work-life balance that you took a sabbatical to think about your career, only to spend it commenting on HN about other people's careers.

I'll be in my room crying, in case anyone's looking for me.
My roast:
Roast You've spent so much time discussing Apple vs Microsoft that Tim Cook and Satya Nadella probably have a joint restraining order against you.
Your comments about HTTPS everywhere suggest you're the kind of person who wears a tinfoil hat... but only after thoroughly researching the optimal thickness for blocking government signals.
You seem to have strong opinions about Flash - we get it, you're old enough to remember when websites had intro animations and your laptop could double as a space heater.

Totally forgot about the flash debates of the early 2010s!
That sabbatical one is savage.
Funnily enough, I'm putting the 7950X to some use in the Carnatic Raga detector project since a lot of audio operations are heavy on CPU. But that last one nearly killed me. I'll have to go to Gemini or GPT for some therapy after that one.
