I asked ChatGPT about finding prime numbers. Here is what it returned. I haven't tried any yet to see if Elon's number is listed.


Exploring prime numbers can be a fascinating journey, and there are several online resources where you can delve into the subject. Here are some recommendations:

  1. Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com): Wolfram Alpha is a powerful computational engine that can provide information about prime numbers, including those with specific digit counts. You can input queries like "prime numbers with 1700 digits" or "prime numbers with 1900 digits" to get relevant information.

  2. Prime Pages (primes.utm.edu): The Prime Pages is an extensive resource maintained by the University of Tennessee at Martin. It provides a wealth of information about prime numbers, including records, lists, and historical data. You can explore the "Lists of Small Primes" section to find primes within specific ranges.

  3. The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (www.mersenne.org): If you're specifically interested in Mersenne primes, which are a special class of prime numbers, the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) is a collaborative project that searches for these primes. You can find information about the largest known primes and participate in the search if you're interested.

  4. OEIS (oeis.org): The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is a comprehensive resource for number sequences, including those related to prime numbers. You can search for sequences based on various criteria and explore related information.

  5. Project Euler (projecteuler.net): Project Euler is a collection of challenging computational problems that often involve prime numbers. While it's a platform for solving problems through programming, the associated discussion forums and problem archives can be valuable for learning more about prime numbers.

  6. MathWorld (mathworld.wolfram.com): MathWorld is an online mathematics encyclopedia that covers a wide range of topics, including prime numbers. It provides detailed articles, definitions, and theorems related to primes.

When looking for prime numbers with a specific number of digits, keep in mind that finding extremely large prime numbers often involves specialized algorithms and distributed computing efforts. The resources mentioned above can still offer insights and information on record-breaking primes within the given range.

Huckleberries and OODA loops! Cool stuff.

Maybe. It depends on the context. "Source code" implies something that humans can read and write. It can also imply having all the programming files necessary for building or compiling a particular application. For example, you can go to github.com and download the source code for all kinds of applications.

Simply using "code" can imply those things too, but it can be ambiguous. It can mean machine code, or binary code, or just a piece of code, etc.

HTH!

Words do matter and I'll be using this phrasing going forward. Thanks for sharing!

lol. Yes. To be fair however, she's likely leaving the gun shop that is behind her in that parking lot. 🙂
