I made a flowchart to help you navigate the current enterprise IT landscape

@luci i think the flow chart is incomplete:

Do you need AI? | | | Is 0* equal to 13* -------- No, why are you even considering it | No | Yes | | | Consider taking a first-grade math class instead *Assuming standard u32's, as defined in RFC9669

@memdmp @luci Hi, I'm a maths PhD student and I wanted to let you know that 0 and 13 can very well be equal (of course not as elements of the integers, but [if you are interested] as elements of finite fields or other "counting systems"). My research only applies to such context, so for me the flowchart suggests to actually use AI, but I don't think I'm going to follow it 😉

(As a similar example consider the clock: 12 and 0 are the same, and we all accept it!)

@luci @noncommutativegeometry consider: this one rejects 12 hour clocks, opting for 24hr ones when being forced to, and 26 hour ones when not. As a result, 12 and 0 are not identical.
Additionally, in code it's written for it's 26-hour day-night cycling, it often does not consider 26 and 0 equal; 0(incl.)-26(excl.) are current date, >=26 is future days, <0 is previous days, hence not all accept it.

anyways the flowchart will be updated in 2-6 business minutes
