"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Well now I'm curious and don't trust myself to find the correct answer. Why do we have this naming scheme?
Let me know if you find anything ๐
Early editions of the ANSI standard used a letter code to identify the dimensions of the cell. Since at the time there were only carbon-zinc cells, no suffix letters or other notation were required. The letter system was introduced in the 1924 edition of the standard, with letters A through J assigned approximately in order of increasing cell volume, for cells typically manufactured at that time

Thanks Buddy! I got so wrapped up in the ai debacle that I didn't look into my question any further ๐ I was actually initially trying to find out where the German designations of "baby", "lady", "mono", and "mignon" come from. Haven't gotten very far on that end either ๐ค
