Ah, yes - exactly! The article is also fully unrelated from OPs title - really weird post all around.

I work on networking for distributed rendering for a major cloud provider- very familiar with gpu architecture and use-cases :)

Saying they do more math is a bit tricky. The CPU does crazy types of very complicated math and accomplishes tasks we still have a hard time offloading to GPUs.

I agree with the rest of your statement as a good explanation for why GPUs can do faster and more efficient batch processing of the workloads that can be fit to the SIMD set up we use for most modern GPUs (ignoring general purpose gpu and fancier compute options)

1. GPUs predate 1995
2. They solve a set of problems different from those handled by cpu’s
3. The existence of GPUs wouldnt ‘curb the growth’ of the other processors
4. The government would be best positioned to benefit from that rapid growth, since it is a state level actor that can regulate the use and acquisition of technologies
5. GPUs have also developed very quickly since their advent.

So like the previous comment mentions - No.

Solid answer here. Worth pointing out that MX Linux has other DEs than xfce. I originally left Ubuntu for pop!_os but wanted to use KDE. After realizing that swiching to Kde removed most of what makes pop special, I started looking around again and landed on the ahs/kde version of MX. Its been great! Still a debain distro so its very familiar, but I dpnt have to worry about Canonical making poor decisions upstream.

Yeah, I genuinely love Snow Crash as an exaggeration of the genre (I still lmfao at Hiro Protagonists) and Neuromancer as a founding member so to speak - two of my favorite books of all time, but underage … shenanigans in Snow Crash and the general writing style of Neuromancer make them both hard to recommend to newcomers.

My brother watched the cyberpunk anime and got really curious about the genre, then started reading neuromancer and was like… wtf bro this is boring. :(
