<p>That's basically how I use my AI assistant. It builds tools and other things I want, makes a widget for my web dashboard, and also a chat widget/skills to work with it. Then I can interact with my tools through the dashboard or just ask in chat to do things or show views.</p>

<p>> Are you going to do anything with that game engine? I'm sure there are thousands of others who've written a game engine with the tools. What are they being used for? Is it just to "try it out"? I see people producing a LOT of software. Sure, the code is good, but was it needed? Are people using it?<p>You can ask the same about hand written code too.</p>

<p>To try to guess at a plausible answer, any monitoring / remote management stemmed from wanting to keep an eye on temps over time. Freezers can go out of temp for only so long before its all bad.<p>Tada. It saves someone from making the rounds with a clipboard and writing down temps every X hours.<p>I agree its unneeded, just I can see the thought process.</p>

<p>The current coincidence is used to select a specific bit / core. Except it selects the same bit in every bank.<p>Bytes or larger words are made by stacking multiple banks together (18 in the articles case) All 18 bits would be driven in parallel by the driver over the X/Y wires to produce a coherent 18 bit value at the same moment.<p>The inhibit bit was so you could select which of those 18 bits (in separate banks) would be switched back to a 1, not selecting which bit across the entire bank.</p>

<p>Technically yes, because Zelle is just the frontend, but banks can settle between themselves via ACH if they don't have another arrangement or a RTP (real time payment) setup.<p>To answer the original question, because Zelle is ran by a consortium of banks, they all trust each other enough to release funds immediately and settle up overnight if need be.</p>
