Once you add multiple machines reading and writing simultaneously, you'll hit a limit. But that's fine, build what you need now, no need to over-optimize.

> You'd be laughed at if you said that ChatGPT could help you with graduate level mathematics in 2024, but this year, AI models on simple prompts are solving previously unsolved Erdos problems.

I'm curious, do you have a graduate degree in mathematics?

The standard doesn't say that you must accept all URIs up to a certain length. You're allowed to decide, based on context, what is "too long".

That is to say, you're allowed to have a double standard. And I love this sort of stuff, thanks for sharing.

It is most likely both: Intentional leaks of the truth.

Obviously, _what_ someone chooses to leak can still benefit them, even if it's true. You can be selective about what information you share.
