Yeah, but basically all of that comes from post 2000. Information production seems to be on an exponential curve, so it won't be that long before you're training on a minority of all data.

That seems like it would mean you're restricted to a dataset from before 2022ish or you have to use data that's significantly more expensive to clean. That seems like it might make the training process untenable.

Strings of unknown length were never in play. The comment was specifically about a separator in a date, which has only 2 potential conventional lengths depending on if you're using a 2 or 4 digit year.

Yes, but if it requires more data than the screen's worth of pixels, you can just send the pixels. Pretty sure this is the "cap" that was described.

Generally speaking, the term "deep state" refers to informal power structures within the state apparatus that work against the will of the people. Which... can be a government institution... but not generally in a democracy.

This is only one strategy to get adoption. The other is to have better apis/more features so that new projects gradually move to your runtime. In this hypothetical, eventually being on node would become like still being on java 8 is to

It should also be noted that you can also get a significant speed up by writing situation specific code, instead of handling the general case, if your problem allows it. This kind of guarantees that custom code, written competently, will al
