He was talking about working on AI the other day. Artificial general intelligence "or die" type of challenge taking. Guess he's getting full time busy with that.

In more human terms : They fused in 0.6 kwh energy. Which produced 0.9 kwh energy. These megajouls are confusing for me. kwh is what we use for resident home power billing unit.

C needs default parameters. Where the compiler puts on stack the default value, whenever the function call doesn't include it. Guess that won't compromise with anything.

Google, Wikipedia, and historically the internet had been unreliable for many of the queries. More so in the beginning. But over time most of the errors are ironed out. ChatGPT is a very promising start I would say. In the end convenience w

Reads like a general rate limit of 100 tweets / hour from apis. Would have been "limiting Mastodon", as the title claims, had this limit been applied specifically for their API calls, while others enjoy limitless.

Drop in a sqlite database in there for comparison and we get a better grasp of the magnitude of the numbers. Of course sqlite isn't a graph database. But you can make it work like one by writing some query joins.
