If this was a basis of a movie plot I would think how stupid the movie is. Apparently it was normal for earth to have more than two magnetic poles before earth core started to solidify [0]. Was earth core composed of multiple elements where each had two magnetic poles?
Also somewhat relevant wiki articles: Geomagnetic excursion [1], Laschamp event [2] and Geomagnetic reversal [3].

I was hoping to see something on CAP and and where does this solution lay on the Euler/Venn diagram.

Tangential question I am not sure where else to ask: Would it be possible to train AI at home on a book? I was thinking about how sometimes I start reading a book and then get distracted for a month or two. Summarizing chapters and characters up to a point in the book sounds like a good fit for GPT AI. I could possibly find and extract PDF or epub of the current book I am reading and I have RTX 4080 at home I am barely using.
Regardless I think WASM and WASI are huge step in right direction since most if not all relevant languages are going to support it.

Which would be more or less true, but:
> I decided to use the slowest language on the planet, Python (thanks to the visionary genius of Ross van der Gussom)
> So I let the mighty snake do its work and after getting a cup of coffee and getting back to check on the program 48 hours later I was left with a beautiful c file
Because everyone know IBM and mostly only devs know about Hashicorp. There is that saying "No one ever got fired for buying IBM".
On the other had MS gave Silverlight 10 years of support when they announced the death of the tech, MS couldn't do anything else about it. If they waited long enough they could have ported silverlight to wasm today. I think there was a company offering dev tools for compiling silverlight to js and wasm, not sure if they are still around.
Same thing with most of Windows GUI frameworks MS built. They all use same rendering language/interface (xaml).
I think it's four episodes. The only problem is that we know the outcome and series tries to keep you in suspense.
