Here's an idea: People in tech want better AI criticism? It's all just too $something? I'm willing to take off a month from work to write a whole bunch of detailed structural criticism if the people demanding better, more specific criticism pay my salary for that month.

What are the pros and cons of pinned vs finned heatsinks? I'm thinking specifically about rectangular pins like seen in my previous post (Wakefield-Vette 960 series).
Initial thoughts:
* Fins absolutely have to have airflow down their long axis. Square/round pins don't care, rectangular pins degrade but not horribly if you're oriented wrong
* Pins weigh less
* Fins have more surface area (at least, in the direction of airflow) in the same footprint
* …
