My questions are, why did you decide to move on to Python/FastAPI, if you did not understand it well? My second question is, why did you copy-paste as-is from CGPT without doing a review of whatever? I understand time constraints, but

Or it could be that, when you search something, you also click through to some of the results, where FB/AdWords and other trackers are present. Alternatively, there was a fallacy of human mind(forgot the name), where if you think of so

I am immensely surprised by all the speculation in comments. NVIDIA simply hit a lucky streak. They rode out the crypto fad from last decade and happens to fall on the AI fad of this decade. If it continues, competitors will eventually catc
