Essays
gollark: The reason Minoteaur v7 needs (or, well, benefits from) GPUs is that it uses machine learning™ algorithms for the search system.
gollark: Consider, though: Minoteaur v6 was written in Nim. Nim has more libraries than Macron will for years, and yet I still felt annoyed by some stuff being missing enough to switch to Python (among other things).
gollark: Most OSes require special permissions for that.
gollark: That won't actually work.
gollark: Also nice HTML templating, SQLite, that sort of thing.
