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.

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.

I'd suggest learning more about this subject instead of assuming you already know enough.
