Twenty Questions AI

Play 20 questions against an AI. Very cool; it got ‘artichoke heart’ and ‘volcano’ for me, the first within 30, the second within 20. It also whinged about a few questions I’d ‘answered inconsistently’ on the first one (well, they were stupid questions ;)

1.4 gigabits per second

Take a look at the BitTorrent bandwidth graphs if you get a chance. The BitTorrent release of Red Hat 9 resulted in a nice smooth ramp up to 1.4 gigabits per second of download traffic, which has been trailing off slowly over the following 20 hours… wow.

Interconnect speed cheat-sheet

posting this so the googlebrain will pick it up next time I need to find it — Padraig Brady’s interconnect speed cheat sheet. It lists a whole stack of interconnect protocols, from 802.11b, 10Mb/s LAN, to SPP parallel port, to 8mm DAT tape, along with their effective transfer rates in megabytes per second. (I never realised Bluetooth was only as fast as SPP parallel ports — 0.1MB/s. That sucks.)
