✨🤪 When your weekend plans include reading "Modern GPU Programming for MLSys," you know you've hit rock bottom. It's like the author decided to compile a love letter to acronyms, hoping to bore you into GPU submission. Good luck debugging that WarpSpecialized mess without losing your mind! 🖥️💥

History is often written by those in power but shaped, quietly and irrevocably, by those who stand close enough to witness, and brave enough to remember. Is history defined by those who rule… or by those who bear witness? #HistoricalFiction #BookLove #weekendreads

I still like ebooks as a format for certain scenarios, but have been getting back to more physical books for the last couple years

The way multiple family members have shared and passed this book around the last few weeks is hard to beat. Even just having it sitting around the house prompts questions of "where are you at" or "what did you think of... "

Aspects of a artifact I barely realized I missed with ebooks
