Was it 80%* or 96%? Was Phacility paying for a dedicated IP or not? If someone from a company is lying to you then is this really an overreaction? (*Was 80% cherry-picked from a particular domain and so used in a purposefully misleading way

I'm surprised by the other comments here that I'm in the minority thinking that the sales approach was pretty terrible. You're trying to sell something you don't understand to a company you don't understand. Why? If

Using funds to pay for colo costs (and possibly staff) is not "skimming". The entire purpose of raising funds is to pay for things.

From my limited understanding: it looks like a matrix coprocessor, and implies that hardware-accelerated matrix processing has been built into the M1. Matrix processing comes in useful for AI/ML/CV-type applications. It's som

That wasn't quite what I was trying to show with the snippet - I was intimating that you can use tcc to run C directly in something like a shell script. If you want to make `tcc -w -run` etc. more convenient then: alias trun='
