Overheating Laptop Can Be a Real Bottleneck for AI Training
A developer found that his laptop's thermal throttling due to high room temperature was slowing down TensorFlow model training. Moving to a cooler room improved training speed significantly. The experience highlights that environmental factors can be as critical as code optimization for performance.

It's a reminder that even the best-optimized code can be undermined by basic hardware constraints, but the lesson is hardly new—thermal management has been a known issue for years.
