SPARQL tutorial by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
In this tutorial, we will use the Jena SPARQL hello world as a starting point. Tested on Apache Jena 4.10.0.
Basic query on rdf/vcard.ttl RDF Turtle data to find the person with full name "John Smith":
sparql --data=rdf/vcard.ttl --query=<( printf '%s\n' 'SELECT ?x WHERE { ?x <http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#FN> "John Smith" }')
Output:
---------------------------------
| x                             |
=================================
| <http://somewhere/JohnSmith/> |
---------------------------------
To avoid writing http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0# a billion times as queries grow larger, we can use the PREFIX syntax:
sparql --data=rdf/vcard.ttl --query=<( printf '%s\n' '
PREFIX vc: <http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#>
SELECT ?x
WHERE { ?x vc:FN "John Smith" }
')
Output:
---------------------------------
| x                             |
=================================
| <http://somewhere/JohnSmith/> |
---------------------------------

ROCm on Ubuntu by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Tested on Ubuntu 23.10 with P14s:
sudo apt install hipcc
git clone https://github.com/ROCm/HIP-Examples
cd HIP-Examples/HIP-Examples-Applications/HelloWorld
make
TODO fails with:
/bin/hipcc -g   -c -o HelloWorld.o HelloWorld.cpp
clang: error: cannot find ROCm device library for gfx1103; provide its path via '--rocm-path' or '--rocm-device-lib-path', or pass '-nogpulib' to build without ROCm device library
make: *** [<builtin>: HelloWorld.o] Error 1
Nvidia A10G by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
According to www.baseten.co/blog/nvidia-a10-vs-a10g-for-ml-model-inference/ the Nvidia A10G is a variant of the Nvidia A10 created specifically for AWS. As such there isn't much information publicly available about it.
the A10 prioritizes tensor compute, while the A10G has a higher CUDA core performance
Nvidia T4 by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
According to wccftech.com/nvidia-drops-tesla-brand-to-avoid-confusion-with-tesla/ this was the first card that semi-dropped the "Nvidia Tesla" branding, though it is still visible in several places.
TODO who bought the Bitcoins? Is anyone else besides Jeremy Sturdivant
The original forum thread bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.msg1195 suggests multiple purchases were made, until he had to withdrawl the offer. Perhaps an easier question is how many pizzas he got in the first place.
www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/13on6px/comment/jl55025/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 mentions without source:
I know. Laszlo Hanyecz estimates that he spent 100,000 BTC on pizza in 2010. Laszlo is the man that invented GPU mining and he mined well over 100,000 BTC.
One source is: bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-man-behind-bitcoin-pizza-day-is-more-than-a-meme-hes-a-mining-pioneer
Related thread from May 2023: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5453728.msg62286606#msg62286606 "Did Laszlo Hanyecz exchange 40000 BTC for 8 pizzas, not 10000 BTC for 2 pizzas?" but their Googling is so bad no one had found the 100,000 quote before Ciro.
As per bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/113831/searching-the-blockchain-based-on-transaction-amount-and-or-date at blockchair.com/bitcoin/outputs?s=time(asc)&q=value(1000000000000),time(2010-05-18..2010-08-05) we can list all the transactions made between the offer and withdrawal dates for value exactly 10k. There are only about 20 of them, and including someone the 22nd of May, so it is extremely likely that this will contain the hits. No repeated recipients however, so it is hard to progress with more advanced analytics tools
Some of the transactions are:
8 d1a429c05868f9be6cf312498b77f4e81c2d4db3268b007b6b80716fb56a35ad (29 May) is a common looking transaction with a single input from 1Bc7T7ygkKKvcburmEg14hJKBrLD7BXCkX and two outputs, one likely being the change to 1GH4dRUAagj67XVjr4TV6J9RFNmGYsLe7c and the other the actual value to 138eoqfNcEdeU9EG9CKfAxnYYz62uHRNrA.
The input chain is complex, but it does contain one block reward on the third level: 17PBFeDzks3LzBTyt6bAMATNhowrvx5kBw + 79 rewards 4th level at 045795627ca29ec72a94c23a65ee775ea1949d60b6fba0938b75e1cfe1e6643e.

en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Jercos mentions:
According to jercos the transaction was finalized over IRC chats. Jercos was 18 at the time of the transaction.
www.bitcoinwhoswho.com/jercosinterview is the source. Persumably the contact was initiated via the private messaging feature of the Bitcoin Forum.
