ChatGPT 4 is vastly superior to ChatGPT 3.5 in my experience, although it still fails at logic sometimes.

Can anyone recommend an SBC with >=16 GB of RAM that has been confirmed to run stably with the mainline kernel? Edit: to be clear, I specifically need ARM CPUs. Headless is OK (although a basic console over HDMI would be nice). To answer

If you can think of a concrete and detailed, workable proposal, maybe you could write up a NixOS RFC and send a PR for discussion (or post something on the discourse community website?). Who knows, maybe something can be fleshed out and imp

Well, good luck convincing anyone to merge all config and mutable state into the same place (that should be fun, especially the user-specific config/state) :) > NixOS's handling of state is poor. Even ignoring the problem of it

> NixOS itself still also has problems. The configuration / state for a program is scattered between /etc /nix/store ~ ~/.config /var instead of being in a centralized place. Those are features, not bugs...

The design of S3-FIFO seems to imply it should handle all loops less than 90% of the cache size pretty well, perhaps even up to 100%. Did you figure out why it did not pass the test? Was there a bug in the implementation, perhaps? Also, whe

by someplaceguy 3y ago
So why did you say S3-FIFO has no loop resistance (or loop tolerance)?

by someplaceguy 3y ago
S3-FIFO has scan resistance. What do you mean by "loop resistance" and why do you say S3-FIFO doesn't have it?

Sure, but two additional train trips also increase the total danger of the flight...

by someplaceguy 3y ago
What do you mean, it nets out? Shouldn't the car trips from/to the airport mean that an airplane journey is even more dangerous, as you can't really fly without those additional car trips?

The estimated average lethal dose for LSD in humans is only 100 mg, based on rodent studies. Far less than caffeine and even amphetamines. LSD does cause significant psychoactive effects with one thousandth of that amount, which suggests th

Isn't lethality the strongest psychoactive effect? It's a decent measure for how much a certain amount of a drug is likely to cause immediate important effects in the body.

Well, then let me challenge your "not remotely as strong" claim. A typical cup of coffee contains about the same proportion of caffeine compared to a lethal caffeine dose than the proportion of one Aderall dosage compared to a let

It's strong enough to measurably increase your metabolic rest rate and consequent calorie consumption even without obsessive foot tapping. Also, the foot tapping behavior can be related to caffeine consumption even if you also do it wh
