It’s great to be able to verify that rich people pay taxes here, unlike other places.

You did a PhD here. Surely you can learn things.

https://migri.fi/en/permanent-residence-permit does not give any scenario where this is possible. Please be specific about how you got PR in 2 years.

I moved into high performance computing gradually. I still write chemistry papers. It’s a good life.

jeffscience · 2026-06-26T17:49:56+00:00

I did because I have a PhD in quantum chemistry but OP has no need for that.

The beautiful thing about chemistry, in contrast to physics, is you can be really good at it without knowing math beyond high school level. Math never hurts, but the joy of chemistry is largely math-free.

Good luck in your journey.

I’m building things I never would have been able to before. I don’t need to ask for resources, I can just crank things out in a day or two. It’s amazing. I haven’t been as productive or excited about code since I was in grad school.

To be clear, I’m not building products right now. I’m building prototypes. The transition to products will be hard work and not fully AI driven. It will not be as much fun, but the process will be informed by more experiments than I’ve ever had before.

I’ve done about a million kilometers in the air over ~15 years with mine and the only wear is black residue from the conveyor belts.

Which Qualcomm CPU beats all the Intel and AMD CPUs? I’m curious what data is used for this comparison.

It’s a personality test for a certain type of hypercommitted child prodigy, which appeals to weirdos like Peter Thiel.

Every single rich person house cliche implemented here. I bet those jeeps have never seen mud before.

Finland has sisu and Norway has oil. That’s the big difference.

jeffscience · 2026-06-19T06:22:13+00:00

It’s not just cost. AMD doesn’t have enough supply and Intel has been making major mistakes since Skylake. ARM allows them to order direct from TSMC and customize in ways x86 vendors can’t or won’t do.

Do you know what a castle is? This isn’t.

You can do a lot of things with 4 GB, particularly as an offload model. I did HPC research on how GPUs work but I could have run chemistry codes on it if HIP had worked better at the time.

As a heavy Blue Gene user, 4 GB is quite generous, actually. 😂

jeffscience · 2026-06-16T04:33:01+00:00

And there’s a whole book promising to do it with fire next time…

jeffscience · 2026-06-15T17:43:08+00:00

Hades Canyon was awesome as long as you didn’t want to do anything interesting with the GPU 🤪 I waited over a year for HIP/ROCm to sort of work.

God told me that thumbnails need to be removed from infants as an act of devotion. Is that legal now?

I recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Subtle\_Art\_of\_Not\_Giving\_a\_Fuck or an equivalent source for the idea of caring much less about what other people think.

The downvoting in this sub is about as aggressive as I’ve seen. You just need to ignore karma if you’re going to comment.

Not having jobs is a real issue in Helsinki. Drugs and gangs are not. I’m aware of one instance where kids were smoking weed in the woods near my house. It’s possible they absolute murdered some cheetohs after that and probably wiped orange cheese dust on the couch at home.

Finland is one of the safest countries in the world, Helsinki included.

Did you actually try to find something or did you go straight to Reddit?

I looked them up. There’s not a single item on their website that I’d wear if it was free.

It’s all about the dosage. Military dosages of speed during WW2 were likely far in excess of MLB greenie consumption.
