## What I Benchmarked
A published paper on Choba, a survey point (station) in Port Harcourt. In
the paper, the curve type is printed as A-type.
The layer values in the same paper say KHA.
I...

Those who read my articles know that a lot of them are actually benchmarks of something. Mostly .NET related, but still, someone could say that this challenge should be pretty close to what I...

Artificial intelligence is usually associated with prediction.
Give a model enough data, identify patterns, and generate an estimate of what might happen next.
But prediction is only on...

A while back I spent time manually poking at Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude with the same trick: ask a multi-step question, then feed the model a plausible-looking mid-rea...

It's not. The database you pick decides ho...
