Alyssa reverse-engineered Apple's M1 GPU with no public documentation and developed an open-source Linux driver.

Be like Alyssa.

I'd rather watch her do that than someone doing triple saltos at the olympics.

This is way more impressive. 10/10

No need to diminish Olympic athletes. They worked very hard to get there. There are plenty of influences you can diminish instead.

They're also groomed as children - the decision almost always made by their parents before they're old enough to decide if they actually want to.

Fuck the Olympics. It hasn't been anything other than a corporate entity intent on making money above all else in almost a hundred years. IOC tramples on the rights of many people every day and the entirety of the organization can burn in hell

Seriously? I'm diminishing Olympic athletes? Go get your moral outrage gatekeeping fix somewhere else please.
