Oh no someone said something mean on Twitter. How ever will we survive.
The only reason why propaganda is so effective is because life is so terrible. No one bought USSR propaganda in the 60s that the US was terrible because people remembered growing up without electricity. A majority believe Russian propaganda about the US today because life expectancy in Thailand is higher.

The worst thing about the new left is how lame they made being left. 30 years ago we would have had illegal raves during the lockdowns. Today we had illegal church services.

That is more or less the state of all plans on putting llms into anything useful. I think the lack of and education of language parsing ambiguity is the main reason why so many people are buying the hype here.

My computer is very much a Turing machine since each time it runs out of disk space I can buy more disks. The fact you think a Turing machine has infinite memory rather than finite but arbitrarily large memory tells me all I need to know about the sorry state of your theoretical education.

>SQL is a practical application of relational bags.
Apart from the fact it isn't; elements have specific order and that order matters.
SQL is SQL, it's not relational algebra or whatever bastardization of it you can think up. In fact when it comes to SQL the only use relational algebra has is to tell that you that anyone talking about it has never used SQL.

Using the pigeon hole principle on these systems tells me that if I don't eventually drop all cards completely I will reach a point where the only thing I'm doing is reviewing old material. None of the algorithms I've looked into seem to acknowledge this. Is there one which throws out a card after you get it right n times?

So start one that's completely toxic to the current mainstream culture. People forget just how unpopular tech was in the 90s/00s. Or that counter cultures are always reviled by the majority.
