I do, but I'm never there because Silicon Valley is full of obnoxious shitbags.
Edit: So the point stands, people in the valley don't talk like that.

It's as much of a documentary as King of the Hill was for Texas.
Which is to say, honestly, it's not that far off. And it's super depressing while still funny.

Makes sense, Office space was one or two exaggerations away from being a documentary about how things work in my company as well.

And sadly, Idiocracy is also a documentary.

This show is utterly, utterly awesome.
Over here, we just got to the Night Sweats Episode. I was giggling the entire time, even if the resolution was telegraphed right at the start.

Dinesh and Gilfoyle are the best thing on that show most of the time.

There is not a character on this show that isn't "the best thing." They're all basically perfect twins of real life dipshits in shirts that say things like DUMPSTR.

This week was the first episode I've watched and I about died during that whole list of tech fails.

"Let's Try Fisting."
The fucking names on the placards in those scenes made me rewind a few times. They were fucking awesome.

Meh on this one. Mostly because there's no way you don't have a backup of your thousands of hours of pr0n. The setup and the build were great, especially with the running "kids in bad places" joke.

I was literally yelling, "WHY ARE YOU TESTING SHIT ON A LIVE ENVIRONMENT" I may have had a few too many beers during GoT.
OTOH I got a hell of a lot of amusement out of the guy booking it after meeting with the opposition team for 11 mins. "Sir, this can only be a good thing. He'd have just come in and taken all the credit and now everyone will know it was all you!"

For a series that claims to be spot on regarding the tech setting the Deleted Porn thing was painful in every aspect. Starting from pressing a delete key deletes everything without comfirmation (still, that could be a quirk of the OS, whatever). But you never ever do tests with live data, especially if those tests are done by unknown entities like subcontractors. Thats beyond stupid. Couldn't appreciate the funny in the show because of that.

The delete key thing didn't bother me because of how it happened. It wasn't about whether the shit could work (because the minute they started talking about using GPU's as CPU's I kind of checked out on the tech), it was about Russ being such a colossally self-absorbed dick that he caused them to fuckup. I mean, FFS, their entire tech premise is based on the Weisman score for compression which is entirely made up for the show.
In short, NERDS.

I haven't seen the latest episode yet, but isn't this a real thing? Don't they use GPUs for Bitcoin mining?

I actually missed Russ being more of a douchebag this episode. He set the bar high from the last one.

Quite a lot of supercomputing work these days is based on GPUs. GPUs have different strengths than CPUs. For something like compression, it's definitely plausible.

Really? Because I thought the douche quotient was even higher in this episode.

GPU computing is a bit of a black art, but in essence any time that you have a problem where you are performing programmatically simple (meaning lots of math and little case testing) operations on large sets of simple data blocks (that you are stepping through sequentially), GPU's are going to blow away CPU's.
There are some critical elements that determine just how much of an advantage GPU's have, in essence the more you can make your problem like crunching through pixels and polygons (in a programmatic sense), the better the performance.
And like Raph said, as long as you could arrange your data into the kinds of structures GPU's like and use the kinds of operations they are good at, there's no reason GPU compression couldn't work.

I'll give you the GPU's thing. But still... Weisman score and the entire tech premise of the show. Playing hard and fast with how tech works for comedic effect is kind of their thing. No reason to get spergy about the delete key if you've already bought into the premise.
Also, how long does it take to jerk off every guy in the room? Remember to show your math.
