we want users to build their own "daily dashboards" using desk widgets
stuff you normally keep open, or glance at (chat msgs, calendar events, weather, email) but don't actively stare at (medium, code)
examples: * if you in ops or management, and are in comm mode daily, need calls / messages with your team, this keeps you hooked up to everything going on. * if you are in engineering or research, and want to go into deep focus, you can use the widgets for things like code, logs, a lofi playlist, etc. * if you're a degen trader, you can also load up 5 twitter widgets and a stonk chart.
sure if the engineer used a degen trader dashboard, it would be counter productive. Google can't stop me from opening reddit / youtube on my browser, I don't blame them for making me less productive.
its a mess, even my Qi wireless charger HAS A CABLE.
honestly this might save my marriage.
kinda crazy, how different audiences get very different reactions.
basically time and power. FPGAs will most likely be both faster and more power efficient than GPUs and CPUs, the memory point isn't quite relevant, you can have an FPGA board that talks to 32 GB of ram, or an HBM chip with as much memory density and memory bandwidth as a 1080 TI GPU.
Any density upgrades for the GPU will also reflect for FPGAs, but we're physically limited in terms of how many HBM dies you can slap on :(
Ask HN: Liquidate 300 high-end FPGA Boards
we have 300x 2yr old Virtex Ultrascale Xilinx Boards, how do I find a good home for them? Has value depreciated a lot?
Ask HN: Secondary Market for Datacenter Equipment?
If I run a datacenter, where do I go to sell my equipment after a year or two? They're still useful and valuable, just a little dusty!
Ask HN: Reselling Datacenter FPGAs
Do datacenters buy second hand FPGA boards? (ie. VCU1525 with recent VU9P chips) Who would know about this?

A Brief History of Humankind
once you're familiar with your dev environment, you don't need to have it floating around in VR space. Its all memorized pretty much, instant access, L1 cache. so to look at something in VR you turn your head and the view pans. To look at it in your brain, its just there, instant lookup.
one requires a transition in space to access information (flying) the other does not (teleportation)

Ask HN: Breaking pyramid scheme tunnel vision
Dear HN, a friend of mine has become tangled up in a pyramid scheme (namely ariix), and has become effectively brainwashed. First time experiencing the frustrations of fighting mob mentality, so here to ask for your wisdom.
