True, but a physicist wouldn’t normally document the shoes they were wearing.

The details he documented don’t seem relevant for what he did and nothing performed would seem to stress even a low end ancient system.

Definitely felt like a brag to me.

Only thing that makes me think otherwise is he also documented the line counts of the scripts. Seems more like a bizarre obsession with minutiae… (would have been more meaningful to document the git commit/branch for a GitHub project instead of the line count!!)

He has a water-cooled rig. Dude probably likes computers. I've always got time for people who want to talk about things they like (of course it helps if I like them too). Go to Tik Tok if you want ultra-optimised chunks of junk entertainment.

Agreed, if he really felt obligated to mention all he needed to say was desktop is a 9950X w 1080 ti and 98GB of ram. At most maybe adding that he used WSL on windows 11 but even that seems minimally relevant and just dressing.
