Sixteen Million Tokens

A hundred and four seconds on what that opens, with the founder at the front and back, every statement stamped, and the whole episode in the ticker.

Sixteen Million Tokens

A machine got through a thirty-year-old wall in computer science on its own: sixteen million tokens, no human input, a hair faster than anyone thought 3SUM could go. A hundred and four seconds on what that opens, with the founder at the front and back, every statement stamped, and the whole episode in the ticker.

Sources for every figure are published with the films: each receipt above opens its card on The Wire. Where a number is self-reported by the lab that produced it, the film says so on screen, and so does the card.
