What are you talking about? We’ve been getting trickled on for years now. Oh wait that’s piss.

Is this significantly different from the QBitTorrent search engine?

The Dark Knight

There Will Be Blood

The Prestige

Memento

The Shining

Gangs of New York

Aliens

The Machinist

Full Metal Jacket

This makes me so nervous about how AI is going to influence children and adolescents of the coming generations. From iPad kids to AI teens. They’ll be at a huge risk of dissociation from reality.

Agreed.

And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what’s happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.

Sadly the Android app is no longer maintained, and it hasn’t been released for newer versions of Android.

There’s an unmaintained Windows client.

Actually here is one that’s still active: https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass

Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.

Monster

74 episodes. Psychological thriller. Serial murder mystery, but instead of “whodunit?” it’s “whydunit?”. Dramatic as an opera. No weird tropes. Superb character development. I love Magnificent Steiner.

Being eternally trapped in a mental prison. Imagine having a panic attack that never ends. I’m pretty sure that type of prolonged stress would cause a psychotic break where your psyche fractures and you become a despondent shell. You would become deathly afraid of everything, even the people you love, because of an unceasing paranoia. That basically sounds like hell to me.

I’m not really afraid of the idea of nothingness after death, because at least then I am released from the torment of living.

I’m still thoroughly enjoying it! It’s really bizarre and I don’t see where it’s going. I’ll be disappointed if the whole town just gets swallowed into one big spiral at the end.

I haven’t read the manga so I don’t have that point of comparison.

My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.

There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn’t see in an intro algos course (which I’ve actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.

• bloom filter
• btree
• b+ tree
• consensus algos (PAXOS, RAFT, VSR, etc)
• error correction codes (Hamming, Reed Solomon, etc)
• garbage collection (mark+sweep, generational, etc)
• generational arena allocator
• lease (i.e. distributed lock)
• log-structured merge trees
• min-cost + max-flow
• request caching and coalescing
• reservoir sampling
• spatial partition (BVH, kd-tree, etc)
• trie
• write-ahead log

2001: A Space Odyssey

Just epic classical music.

Spirited Away

Joe Hisaishi fits the fantastical setting perfectly. Lots of bittersweet, exciting, and meditative moods, each placed in the perfect scene.

Tarantino’s movies usually have a great song selection.

Full Metal Jacket

Hearing “Bird is the Word” juxtaposed with the Vietnam War is just a crazy choice that paid off.

Nobody (2021)

Turned me on to Luther Allison. Not a “best soundtrack” but it definitely stands out.

O Brother is great for some classic folk.

couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.

the risks in cannabis are comparable to caffeine, and on an objective level, even smaller

OK maybe? I think it depends on the user. Excuse my falling back on anecdotes now, but I don’t think I’ve met anyone whose had a panic attack from drinking coffee (though I would not be surprised). However I know several people who have had panic attacks from ingesting THC.

I agree that we are too blase as a culture about the relative risks of caffeine and alcohol dependence. I just get frustrated when people parrot the notion that cannabis has never hurt anyone. I even support the cause to at least decriminalize it and even legalize it for adults, though we need better education about the potential risks. I’ve only ever seen warning labels about the habit-forming nature.

That’s probably because I’m trying to defend my initial statement, and I didn’t realize you were only taking issue with the sources I presented.

In light of that, excuse my accidental strawman. But also, I don’t really care to argue about the veracity of the research presented by the NIH.

There’s clearly no convincing you. By all means, continue to spread the myth that cannabis can do no harm to anyone, and eventually the wrong person will believe you.
