The etymology of 'salmagundi' seems pretty obscure. It might be a loan word? https://www.nytimes.com/1978/01/16/archives/the-salmagundi-d... https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki&#x2

This. Sure, there's persistence but it always seemed like an afterthought. It's also unavailable in most hosted Redis services or very expensive when it's available. There's also HA and clustering, which makes data loss

The Swedish part of AMPRNet [0] has some ambitions to be a fallback in case of a crisis[1]. It seems cheaper and easier (a bit of an understatement) to deploy and repair, in case it gets attacked. 0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

I think that's a good point. Say it's your company, then you need to decide if you want to build the product in C# or Python. It's going to affect productivity, but it's very difficult to say how. If you pick Brainf* of

Other things that make it difficult, some mentioned in the article: - It's a strange activity. The output is non-linear, non-repeatable, and basically chaotic in some ways. - You almost never build the same thing twice. Even if you do,

It reminded me of this conversation where DALL·E 3 refused to generate a picture of just water. https://mastodon.social/@sibilant/113340784251650338 It's funny, their current landing page reads: "DALL·E 3 und
