... to the challenge[^], not the technologies I am working with nowadays. But it does really look interesting, and the prizes are awesome. Well done, @Chris-Maunder.

I've been on a CERN tour - incredible place. And that was long before they build the LHC - I used to have a girlfriend who worked there, so I visited regularly.

Wow, this sounds awesome. Can you tour as a simple visitor, or are ... special bounds needed ?
/edit: Actually, if the prizes are tours, I think it probably answers my question.

Depends on how fast you are moving. Close to c you don't even need a passport!

Is that the language or the universal constant?

Anyone who has time to whip up an app that's cross-architecture and uses oneAPI is good to go for this challenge. It doesn't need to be rocket science.
I'm going to have a go at using DevCloud and oneAPI to train some AI models we have planned for some of our nefarious schemes. Not sure if it'll work but there's some serious hardware they are letting everyone use so we're going to take advantage of it.
cheers

I told my manager this morning that it's POETS day today but I only managed to get out about 20 minutes earlier. Oh well.
On the plus side, Thursday/Fridays I work from from home so I've saved an over an hours commute.
Used that time to do the lawns which gives me a couple of hours back on the weekend.
Now I'm calling its beer o'clock.

Poets day .. that should inspire Bill.

And what makes it [XYZ] Day? There's no presidential proclamation, there's no organization that keeps track of these and there's no official registry for it. I'm free to make up my own day (I say today's Curmudgeon Day) and it's just as valid a claim as yours.

True, but . . .
POETS = P**s Off Early, tomorrow's Saturday.

I've been playing around with the ESP32's deep sleep mode where it basically turns off except to monitor whatever you have it registered to "wake up" on.
It changes the coding model a lot though. Absent using flash or an SD to store data your code must be stateless, because every time you "sleep" the whole thing goes poof. It gets amnesia.
I'd like to make powerful connectable devices that work on tiny power sources like watch batteries, and this is how you do it.
The bloody things have bluetooth and wifi and yet barely use any power even without this "deep sleep" stuff. And all this is dirt cheap.
What a world we live in.

EEPROM is cheap and easily interfaced to the ESP chip.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Yeah you have flash built in too, but you have what, 100,000 write cycles in the thing before it quits?
They add up quick.

Yes, flash does wear out, which is why it must be managed (usually by firmware built-in the the device, sometimes by the host). The problem isn't as bad as you think - you have thousands of P/E cycles for the entire device, i.e. a 32GB device guaranteed for 3,000 P/E cycles would be able to sustain ~96TB of writes (usually abbreviated as TBW).
Assuming you write 10GB/day (probably an overestimate for IoT device state), the flash should last 9,600 days, or over 25 years.

That must be some kind of quantum entanglement. Why else should it get amnesia when I go to sleep?
And now I will go to sleep.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

How well do your various neighbours look after their cars.
Now do you want them flying over your house?
