The winning play is to make no changes that could get you back in the news, and wait for the news cycle to move on to the next outrage. Possibly try to grease Rogan's hand to lay low on the vaccine topic/guests for a while.

How is Fortran coming along with GPUs? (last I looked it was being done with proprietary compiler language extensions, but that was a while ago) Are modern supercomputers faster than a cluster of consumer-grade GPU cards?

It costs 3 times as much and is tethered. Price aside, tethered is a different market. I like powering VR with a gaming PC, but a standalone headset with inside-out tracking like the Quest is where the mass market / oasis will be.
