Trivia

In China, Woodworth was given the name 张云龙 by a master. He was first asked to choose the surname. The first name that came out was Zhāng (张). The master then gave him Yún (云) which means cloud, and Lóng (龙) which means dragon. Therefore, his name means "Dragon in the Clouds".

He speaks German and Mandarin. Cary is left-handed.

gollark: This sort of thing is very good at the particular task it's optimized for, but expensive (initial-cost-wise, it's easy to churn out more of them) and entirely unable to do anything else, unlike general-purpose CPUs/GPUs, which are also hilariously expensive in initial investment but can do basically anything and are reusable all over the place.
gollark: Fortunately, we have good cryptography now as export controls were stupid and didn't actually work.
gollark: Well, "very good" varies.
gollark: Also, you shouldn't avoid asking questions, but remember that AI things are hard, don't work like humans, and aren't magic but very good pattern-matchy algorithms.
gollark: So you can just have lots of things generating hashes in parallel.
