Does anyone have any tales of 'street uses' they have come across of some more recent technologies? I often feel like the technologies people get excited about around here are too tied to their designed uses, but maybe…

For example, if you calculate the magnitude of a thousand-dimensional vector, you end up with a single scalar. If you calculate the magnitude of a thousand one-dimensional vectors, you'd end up with a thousand scalars.…
Looks like somebody got to ~8.7GHz through overclocking a ~4GHz cpu. http://hwbot.org/submission/%202615355 I happened to catch an overclocking competition being streamed on Twitch one late night many months ago. It was…
