House

gollark: What kind of hardware do you need to run yes/no questions against arbitrary spirits? How fast do they operate?

gollark: Well, you could easily get around that by only asking very accurately specified questions. In bulk, probably, with some spirits being assigned the same one in case of errors.

gollark: What's the actual difference between "good" and "bad" ones? Do the bad ones answer questions wrong more often?

gollark: I see. Inconvenient.

gollark: Also possibly data throughput.
