I would argue that you did waste (potential) money by not optimizing your marketing funnels. Regardless, this list was a great reminder that the core of what we should focus on is putting your product in front of customers and making it better, not micro-optimizing.
Folding at home is running out of work because of the overwhelming response. I've found that sometimes restarting the FAH client/container will trigger a new job even after being stuck in a loop for hours
Rosetta@home (BOINC) still has a ton of work items and is CPU based, so it's easy to run on most anything. Some are COVID-19, some are MERS, some are things that have nothing to do with coronaviruses.
I've been running BOINC, and since none of the tasks required GPU, as you mentioned, I was able to scale to a number of devices that the client could be compiled on.
If you have 5-8 hours to devote to a round, put everything you have into it. It's quick to set up and is certainly worth the cycles.
Linus (from Linus Tech Tips) said [0] he is working with the Folding@Home people to set up an additional high-capacity server to alleviate the load troubles.
My CPU client occasionally gets new work units, but it's been idle for most of the week.
Currently, it looks like one of the main issues is not having enough server capacity. If anyone has extra resources or expertise to contribute, see https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=314382.
I had a couple hours earlier today of CPU. Currenlty running on 1 Compute node (out of 3) (OpenCL) on my GPU. Which Windows reports as 3% of the GPU. But it's 99% of the actual Compute module.
Love this. For those of us with existing colors, plugins etc in our config, any chance you plan on allowing import of existing configs? Even if just for the colors in the beginning
I don't see how anyone could come to any other conclusion. It feels like every day we find out about yet another tech company finding a new way to extract more of our personal data. At this point, the only appropriate response in my opinion is to ask: are we mad enough to do anything about this yet?
There are slightly more expensive models that are 500W-1000W+. The Segway and M365 are ~350W. I had a hard time with the battery life on the Segway ES2 on hills, but am a little bit over the supported weight limit
