Nah Essex is our Florida.

I mean we do, but blaming them doesn’t make Linux more viable for high end GPU applications.

I’d hate to live in a world where just because something isn’t immediately useful it shouldn’t be researched.

Being able to demonstrate the ability to suppress a sonic boom would be huge.

Let’s be honest this is how it actually usually plays out:

1. Be a huge company
