That's actually quite good. The English channel would probably be the best known sea swim around these parts and that is about 33.5Km and the average swim time is around 13 hours or 2500m per hour where as your friend was coming in at around 3300m per hour, albeit over a smaller distance and possibly better conditions.

Looks decent, but seems to be just smart querying? I'm more concentrating on the decision making part and keeping the information querying bit in the background as if 'and obviously this is here also'. As in, all business information will naturally be retrieved that way in the near future and presumably the likes of Microsoft will be the ones who do that.
Who knows if thats the right approach.
But e.g. with this SQL thing - this is just the most obvious problem the company currently has and they had tried and failed to fix it with expert systems, so they wanted a demo of that as a general prover of the capabilities in terms of decision makers. Their end goal is some form of cyborg bankers, which would need loads of different agents interacting together. I feel that interaction is where the smart decision impact will be - so, I'm more trying to get my foot in the door with the basic sql idea and quickly move to that higher value place.
Although for the initial presentation their director of AI sat through the whole thing looking like i had just shat in his cornflakes, so I'll have to barge through him to get anywhere.

What are the qualifying races? I've always loved the idea of doing the Liffey swim but the thought of actually getting into the Liffey is off putting

They are trying to make it a thing, similar to the English channel swim. It's not an event, rather something you do with their help of course

Theres almost no chance they have figured out High-NA EUV lithography, and 7 nm can be done without that. ASML have built up a supply chain of no-alternative suppliers like Zeiss for their optics, each of which are basically black magic in their little subsection of the process so I dont see how the Chinese could replicate it. They kind of have to allow the monopoly for, I would guess, at least 5 years. Do you mean lower end as in < 7nm, or as a foundry for slightly less complex stuff? Im sure theyd be only too delighted to put TSMC out of business!
As I mentioned previously, reading isnt my thing so I didnt read the last 2 chapters of that book!

Nevertheless I've only had two rounds of penalty points and they were within 2 minutes of each other on the same road when I turned around and was caught by the same lad twice!
But that is probably more a reflection of how poor enforcement is than anything else.Turning millions into thousands

"Our record temperature for September is 29.1C and that was reported in Clongowes, Co Kildare in September 2009. "So a record-breaking temperature for September is not impossible for tomorrow as it will be the hottest day.
