Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 5, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

What are you going to do with it?

If the answer is play games, get a 3070 or something similar. That'll bring you up to modern standards just fine.

If it's for running your own instance of GPT-whatever, I guess there's a case for waiting, but I doubt it'd make a big difference.

If you're doing this as some sort of weird hedge against a Basilisk, uh, I don't think there's much point. Either it doesn't happen, and you've wasted hundreds of dollars on a chunk of math rocks, or it does, and you will have bigger problems.

While you're at it, speak plainly instead of waving in the general direction of spooky groups you don't like.
