Except this source code is not using :memory: The linked source code has

    (defonce db
      (d/init-db! "db/db.db"
        {:pool-size 4 :pragma {:synchronous "FULL"}}))

That's writing to disk.

Yes it's writing to disk (on a M1 mac which has terribly slow fsync). But, because of the transaction the fsync dance is done once per batch. Each row is the id + a 50 byte data blob.

There's only one index so there's no real write amplification. The numbers will go down as you add more data and indexes.

Sorry, Tim Berners-Berners-Lee.

It sounds as though this set the precedent for "I, Zimbra" by Talking Heads.

I’m drawing a blank on the 60s or 70s pop song which had fake non English lyrics in some part of it. Amusingly in this context, the French lyrics in Psycho Killer are legitimate.

"as su," indicates a lack of editing.

LLM? Any verbose, struggling to focus article now looks generated rather than the work of somebody with better ideas than technique. Or they’re being paid by the word. I wonder whether there is a jargon problem with the word “great”…. These’s no way Trump or Cameron would be considered “great” but the world changed through their direct actions. One could argue that they just happen to be there when underlying forces interact and that the lone actor model of history is naive.

Many of us have written the “was Hitler inevitable” paper at uni and elsewhere. His particular phobias were extensive, but that time and place was ripe for such rule to appear.

FWIW it is from 2024. LLM tells evolve quickly, so you’d want to be looking for the ones of that timeframe.

The variables in history seem to be technology and population.

There are various repetitions of the Tower of Babel as individuals come and go.

Or, instead of analysis, we could nail Jell-O to the wall.

Let me know when the federal budget is balanced.

Is that a problem that can be solved with cognitive labor?

Certainly creatcreated by such.

SMOD may be the only way it's "solved".
