Qwen-3-Coder-Next is an 80 billion parameter model 159.4GB in size. That's roughly how much RAM you would need to run it, and that's before thinking about long context windows. This is not considered a big model. Rumors have it that frontier models have over 1 trillion para...

The electromechanical angle computer inside the B-52 bomber's star tracker
Before GPS, how did aircraft navigate? One important technique was celestial navigation: navigating from the positions of the stars, planets, or the sun.

Do You Even Need a Database?
A database is just files. SQLite is a single file on disk. PostgreSQL is a directory of files with a process sitting in front of them. Every database you have ever used reads and writes to the filesystem, exactly like your code does when it calls open()
