gollark: Weird. I would have said it was a marker for the heads of something, but I doubt it would have to be dots for that.
gollark: People sometimes say that they can't learn properly without experiencing the real world or whatever, but text is very information-dense and there is a *lot* of it.
gollark: So far.
gollark: There's no *known* reason you couldn't get them all the way to human performance. It might not be possible or it might be hilariously inefficient, but as far as I know the lines on the graphs remain straight.
gollark: Apparently this tends to improve with scale. I'm not sure if the details of Delphi are available anywhere.
