Christmas' joke for geologists!

Today is βbring your family at workβ day πͺ and Hadrien, DeepLimeβs geologist βοΈ came at work with his 4-year-old niece Jackie. π§ Little Jackie has a school problem π« and decides to ask around for help, she just had no idea it would be trickier than expectedβ¦ π»
Jackie: Hey Hadrien, how much is 2 + 2?
Hadrien: Wellβ¦ considering the U235 decay rate since the Mesozoic eraβ¦ Iβd say it is about 4 +/- 0.0000000001.
Little Jackie is a bit puzzled β so she decides to ask Fabien, DeepLimeβs IT.
Jackie: Hey Fabien, how much is 2 + 2?
Fabien: Well, well⦠2 is 10 in binary, so 2 + 2 is 10 + 10 in binary, yielding 100 right? Which means it is equal to 4.
Jackie is a bit puzzled by this explanation π€ so she decides to ask Claude, DeepLimeβs AI expert.
Jackie: Hey Claude, how much is 2 + 2?
Claude: Easy-peasy, I trained a deep neural net for you, just 4 layers-deep with 20000 fully connected neurons π§ . The answer is unequivocal, there is a 99.99% chance to be 40000000 e-07.
π΅ Jackieβs head is spinning, so she turns to Romain, DeepLimeβs web developer:
Jackie: Hey Romain, how much is 2 + 2?
Romain: Wait up, let me just deploy a small app for you, just connect to 2plus2.
π€― helpless, Jackie goes to see DeepLimeβs commercial director:
Jackie: Hey, how much is 2 + 2?
Commercial Director: Hmmmβ¦ how much do you want? π°
Epilogue:
Fortunately, we donβt have such commercial director: when you contact us, you directly talk to the technical guys.
How much resources are there in your mine site? We canβt give a number and neither should you: let the data, the sciences and your expertise speak for themselves.
