Architecture

The structure is an eleven-story office building that rises 174 feet (53 m) above the ground.[2] The Chicago architectural firm of D.H. Burnham and Company designed the building in the early Commercial style and it was completed in 1909. It is one of the earliest steel-framed buildings in Iowa.[2] Elements of the Beaux-Arts style are found in the building's proportions and details, which is typical of the Burnham Company's work.[2]

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.
