Nowhere Else but Here
"What's your favorite place? I don't have a favorite place. I have my favorite people, and whenever I'm with my favorite people, that place becomes my favorite."
Renowned British mathematician G.H. Hardy once took a taxi to visit his collaborator, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, in the hospital.
Hardy noted that the taxi's number, 1729, seemed "rather dull," which prompted Ramanujan to respond that on the contrary, it was "very interesting" because it was the smallest number that could be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways:
1729 = 1³ + 12³ = 9³ + 10³.
Numbers that can be expressed in this way have since been known as "taxicab numbers."
@elvenfay@Cairo_xprsk Multiplication takes precedence over division. PEMDAS.
I guess, the answer is different, depending in which country you acquired your primary education, LoL. PEMDAS, BEDMAS and BODMAS.
One guy. One Navy ship. One file. 1 trillion databases.
He built it alone in 2000. And gave it away forever. 🤯
Meet D. Richard Hipp 🇺🇸
> American developer. Born 1961 in North Carolina.
> In 2000, working as a contractor on a US Navy destroyer.
> Got frustrated with bulky databases that needed servers and setup.
> Built SQLite in his spare time ~ a single-file database engine.
> No server. No installation. No configuration. Just one file.
> 25 years later, every iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows PC runs SQLite.
> Powers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype.
> Runs inside Tesla cars and commercial airplanes. 🚀
> Over 1 trillion SQLite databases active worldwide today.
> Put the entire codebase in the public domain. Zero royalties forever.
> Trillion-dollar companies use his code. He's never charged a cent.
> Still maintains it full-time with a tiny team of 3.
> Pledged free support and updates until at least 2050.
> No VC money. No acquisitions. No spotlight. Just code.
Every app on your phone runs his invisible masterpiece.
Most engineers build for fame. He built for forever.
Database GOAT. 🐐
Why is nobody talking about this?
NVIDIA is giving developers free access to ~80 hosted AI models via API.
Models include:
• MiniMax M2.7
• GLM 5.1
• Kimi 2.5
• DeepSeek 3.2
• GPT-OSS-120B
• Sarvam-M
…and more.
Works with Cursor, Zed, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaude, etc.
Setup:
1. Get API key → https://t.co/DGHAEwNC6f
2. Use base URL: "https://t.co/eyLOTGmRLe"
3. Choose model ID (example: `minimaxai/minimax-m2.7`)
4. Plug into your AI IDE / app
If you're experimenting with AI apps,
this is basically free inference.
Most builders have no idea this exists.
Thank me later.
If you recognize what's happening here, you're part of a generation that also spent endless hours fine-tuning autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
And if you're not sure what's going on in the video, I honestly envy your youth.
