Just found out minutes ago that the U.S.P.O granted another patent. 10 years in the making. It was a pleasure cooking up with @PhatBoyG and @amhest. Patent # 12,541,502 “Methods and apparatuses for improving the utilization of state machines in a distributed system.”

Building tooling for python really makes me appreciate C# and .NET......

[Ryan Rodemoyer @RyanRodemoyer2]

In .NET it's a best practice to properly size every List<T> when created. And I have a benchmark to back it up.

Over 10 million adds to a list, declaring with a capacity performs ~60% better compared to the default constructor!

The problem is simple on the surface
- List<T> is backed by an array
- List<T> defaults to Capacity=0

Meaning, a new List<T> instance always starts at 0.

What happens when the list is full? An entirely new array gets created! So when items are added AND the underlying array is full
a) a new array is created (leading to a memory spike)
b) the existing values are copied to the new array (extra processing)

It's a brutal cycle.

You can avoid some of this saga by creating new List<T> instances with a capacity that approximates how many items you expect to get.

The benchmark is "adding 10 million items to a list".
In the screenshot, there are three options. First, create a list with Capacity=10 million. Second, create a list with the Capacity=half expected. Third, create a list with the default values (Capacity=0).

If the baseline is Capacity=0...
48% faster when Capacity=50% of expected
53% faster when Capacity=100% of expected

Any model will eventually be good enough to handle manual enterprise workflows. But the real moat is context. Imagine spending a year tailoring ChatGPT, then being forced to switch to Claude, you’d lose hundreds of hours of time for one consumer.

In accounting, that loss compounds across every employee and client, the switching costs would be exponential. Entendre’s agents embed deeply, improving continuously instead of stagnating like legacy ERPs.

Entendre will exist with clients for decades, becoming more indispensable over time.
