I know of an online music collection that would need to be archived. Maybe by these people?

There is an amateur enthusiast named Steven Kozobarich who restored some very early recordings of traditional Balkan music. His Youtube channel is the only remaining place where copies of the songs are still reachable.

He used to maintain a blog-like website the previous decade, and it still remains, but the links to the external hosting service (with the tracks) don't work anymore.

Link to his channel:

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human hand.
ChatGPT translation:

Does he not perhaps also live underground when

The day's harmony will be mute to him,

If he can awaken it with gentle care

In the minds of his [own]

[...]

Only he who leaves no legacy of affections

Has little joy of the urn; and if he looks

After the funeral, he sees his spirit

Wander amidst Acheron's lamented temples,

Or seeks shelter under the vast wings

Of God's forgiveness: but his dust

Leaves to the nettles of deserted soil

Where neither the enamored woman prays,

Nor the solitary passer-by hears the sigh

That Nature sends to us from the tomb.

If you make the human write the code on a whiteboard without a python interpreter, they are likely to occasionally make up libraries that don't exist.

That's true, but I doubt people charging their car represent the bulk of their income. The government pays companies to build new stations. Fixing old ones means your techs are tied up, and you're able to bid on fewer projects, which means less revenue. Again, I'm guessing, but it seems like a decent explanation.

Thank you. I appreciate that you responded.

Your free reading assessment: Your reading comprehension is similar to smaller and first-generation GPT-3 models. It is below that of more recent GPT-3 divinci models (e.g. text-divinci-3), gpt-3.5, or gpt-4.

My recommendation: Find a way to remediate your reading skills, or be aware of the gap, and work with someone professional (one or two meetings is adequate, but with a serious background in managing these sorts of deficits) to develop coping mechanisms.

The above is a serious assessment and recommendation. It's reasonable to make a mistake on a first read, but on a follow-up, especially reading in enough depth to analyze and break down the text (which I'm glad you did), you should have picked up on the meaning in this post unless there is some more serious underlying issue. The other posts show a fine job of how a normal person would read my comment. This does show a serious gap in foundational literacy. That's not an insult (we all have gaps). However, it's important we be aware of them, and either address them or develop coping mechanisms.

There is a large number of disorders, such as autism, dyslexia, prosopagnosia, dyscalculia, etc. which manifest quite often as a very isolated gap (and I'm personally convinced there's a much broader set than in DSM-V, and we all have a few). Many very successful people have them, but generally only succeed with awareness and coping mechanisms. I can't diagnose from one post, but that's the sort of professional background I would look for, since at this point, it's very well understood. If there is a gap, they can help understand what it is, and bridging it can make a huge difference to your well-being, success, and happiness. This doesn't need to be a process, if you don't want one; being pointed in the right direction is often adequate (estimate effort in many similar cases I've seen: reading one book).

I think you have a very simplified view of how ADHD and stimulants work. There's no actual research to back up the oft-repeated claim that stimulants affect people with an ADHD diagnosis differently from those without one. Actually the one bit of research I found suggests the exact opposite—that stimulants negatively impact the productivity and concentration of people without ADHD

Not exactly right as the window opens (as they have to ensure the area is clear before launching) but pretty close to when the window opens. Especially with experimental rockets like this because as we've seen before, it isn't guaranteed that the rocket passes all checks and lifts off at the first attempt. So that gives them the largest amount of time to reset and try again before having to give up for the day and schedule the next try.
There are a lot of complexities, and solutions aren't as simple as one would imagine.

I'm going to assume MySQL, but other relational dbs work similarly.

> Transactions shouldn't slow this down (it's possible to write all the data to new areas of diak, and then the final 'commit' is a metadata update to say those new areas are active).

This is done already. DBs don't write directly to the buffer pages, they write to a sequential log (the WAL), because sequential writes are faster. A separate thread reads the WAL and applies the changes.

This is actually not even the whole story. Pages are written twice, to the so-called doublewrite buffer, because "filesystems are complicated", and writing a page is not in itself a guarantee of atomicity (this is a way more complex discussion than it seems).

> But it's possible to design an index where updates are coalesced, and therefore the changed parts of the index are only written once as a single bulk write

This is done already as well, by the so-called "change buffer" (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-change-buffer...).

---

The most important concept is: sequential writes (as in: big batch of writes) are not possible in ACID dbs, because changes must be written immediately. Due to the durability guarantee, one can't buffer them in memory, and pretend that they have been written.

Battery-backed controllers can be used to improve write throughput, but that's another story.

Shocker, your brain function is impaired while on a drug you've never taken before and you weren't prescribed.

In my experience, it doesn't matter if you have multiple psychological evaluations and 10+ years of success with a consistent dosage of an ADHD medication. Most doctors just won't write the prescription because of this sort of bunk.
> PostgreSQL doesn't support specifying which method is used for a particular join

Not directly, no. You can make some of them possible / impossible depending on your indexing and server settings, as well as the query itself. For example, if the smaller side of the join can't fix into `work_mem` – which defaults to 4 MiB – you won't get a hash join. You can either create smaller tables, more restrictive join conditions, or increase the size of `work_mem` (but be careful not to blow up the DB, since that's per connection).

Oil isn't necessarily unhealthy.
It’s not - you can switch a small portion of fuel demand in a sustainable manner. The SAF plants are built purely on economics underpinned by tax credits. The larger issue is that once you get past a certain volume number, the marginal feedstock is soybeans (in the US at least) which for a variety of reasons is structurally more expensive than oil - this is never going to be economic and is a taxpayer funded boondoggle, I wish that weren’t the case

If I understand this model correctly, its doing it over a curated list of content.

Verifying factualness is hard to automate, and all measures are proxies for what an actual human would say.
What is easy to overlook is that it's not just cultural artifacts in the sense of the recording itself. These kind of sites also had fans meticulously fill in all the metadata about the history and context of a song, film or whatever.

I remember a blog post by a historian lamenting the loss of all that community-build knowledge when these sites where shut down (and I bet it wasn't just one historian who felt that way).

Abuse typically means taking higher than prescribed doses which then "unlocks" some kind of euphoria - e.g. Adderall, benzodiazepines etc.

Modafinil can't really be abused in this way, it doesn't get you high and increasing the dose is usually counter-productive.

Another element of abuse is addiction and Modafinil has no physical addiction and IMHO minimal to non-existent psychological addiction.

Not really. You're comparing free speech to what Al Qaeda is actually doing. Keeping women uneducated, lynching homosexuals, etc.

I wouldn't say that the speech is "Ok" as much as it is simply tolerated in American democracy. Free speech is core American value, so you hear from the fringes. If they actually follow through and act (occasionally happens and makes national news), it is no longer be tolerated.

Just to be clear, this is not a new hypothesis or anything. The Wikipedia page [1] states clearly, from a 2003 reference (emphasis mine):

> "The Sphinx is a monolith carved from the bedrock of the plateau, which also served as the quarry for the pyramids and other monuments in the area. Egyptian geologist Farouk El-Baz has suggested that the head of the Sphinx may have been carved first, out of a natural yardang, i.e. a ridge of bedrock that had been sculpted by the wind. These can sometimes achieve shapes that resemble animals. El-Baz suggests that the "moat" or "ditch" around the Sphinx may have been quarried out later to allow for the creation of the full body of the sculpture."

This article is about new simulations that simply suggest how common yardangs might be.

And at the end of the day, I'm not sure how terribly important it is to what extent the block the Sphinx's head was carved out of was made by the wind, vs. intentionally left by quarrying around. I mean, I suppose it's a curious little detail, but does it have any broader significance?

I agree that most DB instances are grossly underutilized (or abused performance wise).

But an "entire company" is a tad crude unit of measure when talking about optimization.

Good point though. I've seen companies create a completely new replicated DB instance for every little pet project they start. Crazy. Nice if you're a cloud provider though.
So you are making things up. Including making up rules about which things it's ok for you to make up. They might be reasonable things to make up, but you're still inferring them to plug holes in the description based on what seems to be the most probably interpretation.

And that is pretty much exactly what an LLM does: It predicts the most likely item of data to fill in. That their training is as of yet insufficient to make them predict reasonable things in all situations should be far less surprising than how quickly we've gotten to a point where we can communicate well enough with them that these conversations are meaningful at all.

One of the fascinating things about these discussions to me is that they reveal an astonishing amount of assumptions about human thought processes that appear to be just marginally above LLM hallucinations in rigor.

68k support in Linux and GCC includes NXP Coldfire, a family of microcontrollers that are the last living descendents of the 68k. There are products being made right now that run on Coldfire so it is quite relevant to a lot of people to keep support going.

NXP also still makes the original 68000, which undoubtedly is still in demand for industrial and embedded uses. (Although a plain vanilla 68000 is not going to be running Linux due to the lack of an MMU)

I have a hard time understanding the link between the feature of a key server and block chain.

This is a great idea to simplify PGP, love it, but nothing to do with block chain at all.

If you are a developer, you really should observe your users struggle with your software. It will make it very clear that all that clever stuff you thought of just confuses the hell out of everybody. And since I am a developer, I have never felt as much shame as when I realised what horrific workflow I had accidentally foisted upon my unsuspecting customers.
Even worse, some people turn it into a competition.

I have mixed feelings on Rust's syntax, especially around generics, lifetimes, and the `modifier -> keyword` syntax (i.e. `async fn` or `pub fn`). For Inko, I wanted something that's easy to parse by hand, and no context specific parsing (e.g. `QUOTE -> something` being the start of a lifetime in one place, but a char literal in another place).

Another motivator for that is that years ago I worked on Rubinius for a while (an implementation of Ruby), and helped out with a parser for Ruby (https://github.com/whitequark/parser). The Ruby developers really liked changing their already impossible syntax in even more impossible ways on a regular basis, making it a real challenge to provide syntax related tools that support multiple Ruby versions. I wanted to avoid making the same mistake with Inko, hence I'm actively trying to keep the syntax as simple as is reasonable.

As for the specific examples:

`fn async` means your parser only needs to look for `A | B | fn` in a certain scope, instead of `A | B | fn | async fn`. This cuts down the amount of repetition in the parser. An example is found at https://github.com/inko-lang/inko/blob/8f5ad1e56756fe00325a3..., which parses the body of a class definition.

Skipping parentheses is directly lifted from Ruby, because I really like it. Older versions took this further by also letting you write `function arg1 arg2`, but I got rid of that to make parsing easier. It's especially nice so you can do things like `if foo.bar.baz? { ... }` instead of `if foo().bar().baz?()`, though I suspect opinions will differ on this :)

Until recently we did in fact use `::` as a namespace separator, but I changed that to `.` to keep things consistent with the call syntax, and because it removes the need for remembering "Oh for namespaces I need to use ::, but for calls .".

`[T]` for generics is because most editors automatically insert a closing `]` if you type `[`, but not when you type `<`. If they do, then trying to write `10<20` is annoying because you'd end up with `10<>20`. I also just like the way it looks more. The usual ambiguity issues surrounding `<>` (e.g. what leads to `foo::<T>()` in Rust) doesn't apply to Inko, because we don't allow generics in expressions (i.e. `Array[Int].with_capacity(42)` isn't valid syntax) in the first place.

This doesn’t explain how the blockchain relates to the goal of sending email.

I was expecting it to mention Hashcash which was invented by Adam Back in 1997 as a way to prevent email spam. Hashcash was a big inspiration for “Satoshi Nakamoto” when he built Bitcoin.
