and if you didn't read the paper, they still have a solution.

excellent observation.

jgc, you made my day, one 86'er to another.

i recommend the book "The End of Error: Unum Computing"

pretty sure clang is older than sql. hal agrees.

+2 for humidity. great work. keep it simple.

after going through my first quake in valley, years ago, i shut windows at night, cause every strong breeze woke me up thinking a quake was coming. bummer.

years ago i lived next door to a bar popular with off duty emts. interesting, to say the least.

lecunn was at facebook after llmama3.1, says ai.

amen.

for smallish databases, where uuid is surogate id, i would trust dbos/postgres replication. replication is just too hard to role your own.

tangentially, for dbs with large blobs, lot's of easy tricks when uuids are immutable digests.

syncing, say, two blob stores, A and B, boils down to jaccard metric, as a first order approximation

   |(A ∩ B)| / |(A ∪ B)|

diffing the two digest sets at point in time is second order approximation.

and don't forget logical replication ...

i spent a weekend with an ai expert trying to get claude to generate code from a yacc grammar for a new language and a smallish set of examples. claude never seemed to get past the bnf syntax.

pg_pachy ?

ai has no fear.

otherwise limited to "keyword" search ...

if truly "every byte matters" then why java?

"gui"? what gui?

my take is terminal is just quicker than "gui".

shared libraries does not imply shared in ram only.

write code like your life depends on it. cause it does if you are any good.

spot on. you gotta wear shades to survive, future so bright.

those who know how work for those who know why.

> We present a non-asymptotic theory of generalization

what is a non-elephant animal (to paraphrase stan ulam)?

consider participating in the honey pot project to block ips of proven bad guys.

consider the honeypot project to block ips.

makes sense. i can see things getting complex very quickly.

seems most versions would be better managed at application level, zfs/btrs snapshots not withstanding.

> Conversely, you can query a database without SQL.

fond memories of quel.

we only perceive the past.

or use rsync.net and a cronjob.

yep.

for immutable blobs use crypto digest as db key and store blobs in file system.
