(I get what you're saying, spiritually, your pasta water from your giant pot of one box of pasta isn't gonna do much to thicken your sauce. But it's not a myth, just a matter of degree)
corn starch is widely used because it has no taste raw; a flour based roux needs to be "browned" in oil to eliminate the floury taste (i've tasted the grain of wheat from a plant in a field: tastes floury)

I've traveled to some of the poorest parts of the world. I try to donate regularly to the less fortunate. Yet, I've never felt guilt. What does guilt have to do with admitting the world is a cruel place?
Why do you donate? Do you owe them anything? No. Yet, you still donate. But how much do you donate? Why that amount and not nearly everything? Surely there are people in need!
You are right. I haven't thought about donations possibly not being altruistic, but there actually are such ones. Personally I would say we need separate words to distinguish egoistic charity/donations from the altruistic ones.
But how does donating to some poor people abroad benefits you?
So nice that pro-Israeli comments get flagged and moderators do nothing about that. Talking about bias and censorship, I guess some contradictory thoughts are not very welcomed for some who think about themselves as standing in the frontlines of democracy. Also disappointed about @dang, there seems very little objective admin work done here.
The reason why your comment was downvoted is not because you've made an assertion contrary to the hivemind, but because you did so in a way that is highly dismissive towards the audience you address, using slurs like "Pallywood. That's low-effort trolling which is, indeed, unwelcome in this community, which the downvoting reflects.
The trainium toolchain is not as mature as GPU. Your model may fail to compile out of the box, and even if it does it may be slow and require you to dig into details for reasonable training/inference performance
