Thanks. It looks like something intentionally created by CIA to cleanup past/future scandals (to associate s.child abuse investigations with lunatics).

It is easy to use mmap from Python. You can do zero copy too e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17244488/reading-struct-... (see mmap+frombuffer example) Though in practice, in many cases, mmap won't b

"translate requirements into working software systems" demonstrates fundamental misunderstanding what programmers do. It is a decades old and rather common misconception. It is why there is "mythical" in the Mythical man

Programmers somehow can figure out what libraries to depend on, to contribute to without paying exuberant fees to the middleman.

You are assuming that a web search is somehow fundamentally worse at finding _existing_ content. Ridiculous. Given that it can use LLMs (among other things) behind the scenes. The opposite can also be true (LLM can use web search), the diff

How certain are you that these are real songs and not just hallucinations? How would you check it? Web search shows its sources e.g., if it is link to the official YouTube channel, then there is some certainty that is not a fake.

if it quacks like a dog, it is a dog. Though, with LLMs, you might need quite a few (often more than 5) exchanges to find out that it can't actually quack.

Business alignment (what “Open”AI care about) and human race related alignment are completely different thing. Imagine chatgpt says something factual but not politically aligned about US military–industrial complex.

Fixture names are globally unique, it makes it easy to find their definitions e.g., dumb-jump in Emacs works: one keystroke to go to the definition or if it is overridden then it shows available options.

The article itself is the evidence: read it and apply common sense. I know almost nothing about EAs but what I know makes me think that it is likely P(SA)>P(SA|EA)>0.
