“Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.”

I struggle with this too. I find making detailed notes helps a lot. Just writing them helps me understand better. Then later they help me get back to where I last left off. The fog part I‘m still working on. One trick is to take mini-breaks to think/meditate on some un-related mechanical project. After a minute or two my brain (most times) is ready to get back to coding.

Echoing that power concern… if it’s just for home lab file server use there are more efficient choices. I’ve been running a Samba file server (Ubuntu 22.04) on an old Lenovo M93p machine with good results - at somewhere around a 10th of the power consumed by that Mac Pro. Seems like a those machines would be good for animation work.
