The best work for my CPU

Come back Pistol Pete - all is forgiven.

There we go. That's the chart I needed. That looks better.

I can understand Davieddy's anxiety as far as upping the depth to 75 bits is concerned because we clearly don't have the computing power to do that. His hostility, on the other hand...

Time will tell all things. I might have another GPU by then so who knows? :)

Aye! I hoist a virtual glass in your general direction. Virtual, because I'm trying to see how I do without mind-altering substances, but the thought is there.

Hostile?
MOI?

Some of my best friends have flown to Barbados

I thought I might be mellowing in my old age.

James has shown that a typical GPU could profitably TF to 75 before doing LL work.
As you agree, the limitation is currently the firepower available.

Up until 3 months ago, "we" were happily TFing everything >53M to 73 bits, and were getting comfortably ahead of the LL assignment wavefront.
This also left plenty of time for P-1, and could contemplate upping the "what makes sense" goal to 74 bits.
You argued that we were far enough ahead to do this immediately, even if the assignment front might catch up a bit before TF to 74 drew ahead again.

Despite my misgivings and BCP19's self-induced implosion, you elected (unilaterally) to "Suck it and see". Reasonable enough.

Realizing that TFing from 70 to 74 was not reaching the ~300+ per day, I suggested a "crackpot" reductio ad absurdum idea of backtracking TFto74 to 62M (thereby erasing your "TF is well ahead" argument).

You rose to the bait, and the result is farcical.

75 bits? Don't make me larf.
Maybe we can start another war in 2 years time.

No implosion here David, I just got tired of the diarrhea that spews from your mouth daily and decided I could go someplace nicer. Since my electric bill used to rival your monthly bar bill (4 figures, really??), I figured cutting 66% of it off was a good choice and gee, 2 months went by without your mouth. I think it was well worth it myself, more money in my pocket and less need of those hip-waders.

That sound like a rational choice to me, Pete. Good to see you here. I'm glad you stopped by.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is trying to get me into that territory.
Apparently he was a pupil at St Paul's when I was teaching physics/math there.

Anyways
