That'd be either analog computing or you're implementing floating point number math in each neuron. Maybe some kind of PWM calculations would be doable, do we have it researched or would be a new kind of math?

That center pin looks fragile, especially if it's printed along Z axis. How about printing teeth that'd mesh with the belt?

How about being truthful? Say "I think A, but I'm not really an expert, so also try asking your favorite LLM"

Maybe if it's a business level tool made in house with claude vs contracted to a software house in India. Never for a compiler, who even is that person?

Not reading out loud, but I've caught myself a few times on reading and not processing that, because I was thinking about something else. Like I still did the reading, but straight to /dev/null of my brain

I've never claimed that anything about telegram's encryption is "heavy", because I don't even know what they use, I just said what "heavy" usually means

> In this context

In this context it's marketing bs for people that only seen action movies where hackers quickly cracked encryption. I'm sure whatever telegram uses is not that ridiculously easy to crack

Heavily means the key is large so it takes longer to crack, but also longer to encrypt/decrypt, so the service is more costly to run and slower. At least I've seen it used that way

I put aluminium foil over a bowl of pizza dough, as it grew the top touched the foil and in a few spots tiny holes appeared in the foil. I wonder if it was carbonic acid or what
