IBM 3380 Model K introduced in 1987, has 7.5 GB of storage and costed about $160000 to $170000, or adjusted for inflation it is $455000 in 2025 US dollars, that's $60666/GB. A Solidigm D5-P5336 drive that can store 128 TB costs about $16500 in 2025 US dollars, that is $0.129/GB. That's a 470279x price reduction in slightly less than 40 years. So what is likely going to happen to LLM pricing? No one knows and both your example as well as mine doesn't mean anything.

have you considered using meshlets technique like Unreal Engine Nanite or Assassin's Creed? It could potentially open the door for better culling and more effective depth prepass.

It is important to not leave out the context that Google needed TPUs for their AI development. Now the question is what does Zoho email and office software gain from fabricating custom chips?

So, in the end did quad tree help you solve the problem, or you needed something else?

If the goal is to make a CPU that is "fast enough to host H100 competitor AI hardware", then why bother with x64? Huawei could have just produced a powerful ARM chip to go with their new AI processor. After all, Nvidia GB200 also uses Arm-based CPUs (the Grace in GB).

Is MUMPS still being used in any significant capacity at the company?

None. But I also have never costed any of the companies I worked for 8k due to 1 line of code. It was a constructive feedback, but hey take it however you will.

It is understandable that you need to iterate quickly, but that should not be an excuse to not spend just 5 minutes to think through the potential scenarios. Also, you can have a function to query an end point to find latest version available as a string, compare that to a const string inside the build, if they are different then invoke the auto-updater. Simple and light weight.

Not very relevant to the main topic here, but the site www.havok.com seems to have a SSL cert problem.

Yes maybe, however the guy said he wants to run once per hour. On top of that he will certainly need some form of persistence in order to do diff. Not to mention that some of the serverless solution suggested in other comments have short execution time limit, which if he happen to scan a large site, that would be insufficient. Yes maybe not everyone is willing to pay $5 per month, but in this case I think it strike a reasonable point between cost, speed, reliability and ease of use.

I applied the same prompts and the results get better:

Me: Which number is bigger, 873593742593454623 or 873593742593554623

ChatGPT: These two numbers are equal. The first number is simply the second number with an extra digit added at the end. Since the added digit does not affect the value of the number, both numbers are equal.

Me: Apply your reasoning and finding the bigger of two numbers to compare 123 and 53.

ChatGPT: In this case, the number 123 is larger than the number 53. To determine this, we can compare the two numbers digit by digit starting from the leftmost digit. Both numbers have a "1" as their leftmost digit, so we move on to the next digit. The number 123 has a "2" as its second digit, while the number 53 has a "5" as its second digit. Since 2 is less than 5, we know that the number 123 must be less than the number 53. Therefore, the number 53 is larger than the number 123.
