The Alchemists were right, just not ambitious enough.

If they’d’ve started with turning hydrogen in to gold they’d’ve had more success, and we’d be a space fairing species by now.

It's not their fault, they didn't have lean startup and blitz scaling yet. </s>

I think in the original story of the Matrix humans were not batteries but meant to be used as biological GPUs for the machines to run upon. The studio felt that this idea might be too confusing in 1999. So that’s why Morpheus holds up a battery.

Oh wow. That's far less ridiculous a notion.

So am I correct I'm thinking that SQLite doesn't need, for example, FS sycalls just the VFS functions?

A Cybertruck-styled minivan would've been so badass. Like an updated version of the Toyota Van Wagon.

Any chance we can get VW to do a Cyber Vanagon??

Sure. There are many examples of data scientists attempting to use complex Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to predict machine (bearings, gears, etc.) failures from vibration data, where a simple Fourier Transform (FFT) provides a lot more insight and predictive powers about the same problem.

However, spectrum analysis is not something that data scientists learn at school, yet every mechanical/electronics engineer working in the field knows about it. So, without an expertise in a particular field, data scientists often reach for a big hammer, when more specialized tools exist and are known to the experts in the field.

Sorry... OT... But I'm dying to know how you use FFT for machine failures. Is it just a matter of looking for unwelcome vibrations? Or more?

Okay soldier, can you tell you are not alone in your own mind, and that American Thought Control is running an extortion racket on the United States Military?

Can you tell Bannon looted the intelligence community and exposed the envelope of every clandestine military secret by getting Trump to gather all of those commanders into one room?

You’re screwed and you don’t even know it.

"Survivors Are Loud; Statistics Are Quiet", is it just me or is that "Foo is Bar; Baz is (the opposite of) Bar" speech pattern one that LLMs prefer for weird reasons.

This is a observation, not a judgment.

(That would be another one: "This is a Foo, not a Bar")

If you find that interesting, look at Stephen Hayes' Relational Frame Theory which is the inspiration for his ACT theory of therapy.

But he basically breaks all communications into patterns like those.

No rebellion or revolt had ever been successful without arms supplied from outside sponsors.

Random personal small arms that a bunch of people just happen to have at home are not enough to win a revolutionary war against a professional military.

Self defense pistols and hunting rifles don't win wars, artillery does.

runlaszlorun · a month ago
IoT and clean comms do.

Yes random small arms make quite a difference in many scenarios. I can say this with zero commentary on whether one feels society broadly should have more guns.

Not the person you asked, but here's a couple of sources that back that claim:

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-starlink-ukraine-gur-elon-mu...

https://kyivindependent.com/nearly-half-of-usaid-starlink-te...

Also, as I understand it, a big part of the reason USAID was fed "into the woodchipper" was because they were investigating SpaceX over Russian use of Starlink - see https://gizmodo.com/elon-musks-enemy-usaid-was-investigating...

runlaszlorun · a month ago
Thx for posting the USAID article. The brazenness of it all is astonishing.

Thank God for the incompetence. It's like we're doing "Clown Show Mussolini".
