Has the amount of 95%+ reviews games-released increased though? And how much of that is due to the pandemic? Its anecdotal, but the game-dev discord I'm in has had a decent reduction in # of regulars since the tail end of the pandemi

Yeah, some of the bigger numbers were a problem, so we switched to using a horizontally scaling db cluster so that we could cover all of the (useful) numbers. When we encounter a new number, it gets routed to the appropriate db where the r

Eh it kinda makes sense. You want to boost domestic production but you also don't want to stifle domestic adoption. So if you implement both tariffs and subsidies, consumers can still pay the market price but will buy up all domestic p

Yes, but sometimes asking dumb questions is the first step to asking smart questions. And OP's investigation does raise some questions to me at least. 1. Give a model a context with some # of actually random numbers and then ask it to
