Unless you’re running BSD or some other genetic Unix probably not as everything GNU is newer than that. GNU is 80s, original Unix 70s, in the 60s you still have giant minicomputers with very little standardisation, including ISA, and before the 60s there were not even compilers.

A decent chunk of software traces lineage back to then, even if the old code has been retired: vi is the screen terminal mode of ex with is a more featureful ed which got most of its features from qed which is 60s software. Cutting-edge: You didn’t have to punch holes any more, you had a keyboard and a printer. Someone figure out where dd has its argument syntax from so we know whom to blame.

The point being it’s obnoxious that discussions of any female politician at some point have to bring up their attractiveness.

Her badassery was brought up. Yes, badass women are attractive, deal with it.

If we take your proposal for example, that would mean that we were very alike to the Scandinavians, since those are mostly the “pagan” traditions that remain in some thinned out, distorted ways, here too.

I guess what I want to say overall is that you shouldn’t confuse the impact of Christianisation with the impact of being neighbours for millennia. Of course you both have Saunas, why wouldn’t they copy you, long before the crusades. There’s indubitably lots of influence in areas such as administration, but folk dances, music? Which tax collector has ever cared about that, that kind of thing travels from village to neighbouring village, the occasional travelling musician, not via state structures.

The Catholic Church definitely had influence on music as they had their stuff standardised but then not every village had a church much less a choir much less organ, nor would you want to dance to their chants. They didn’t unify Europe musically, why would they care to. What they did do is popularise polyphony.

On the flipside: Tradition is not praying to the ashes, but passing on the fire. If there’s some specifically Finnish spark that makes you produce the amount and quality of metal that you do then, by all means, do blaze on. Why go backwards, how would that be more authentic.

might we have something equally powerful and captivating to preserve?

…no. As in: That’s not the kind of cultural practice Christianisation wiped out or we wouldn’t be burning stuff come spring, dance around maypoles, and whatnot. The Faroese are still into singing sagas as an actual community practice. Missionaries back then weren’t trying to regiment people into factory workers, make them sit still on chairs and such.

It’s kind of a grass is greener on the other side kind of situation. There’s a good reason stuff like Heilung is captivating, but that’s because they’re modern-day shamans speaking to instincts buried by modernity, not because they’d be historical in their music or practices. Norse folk music indeed sounded pretty much like Norse folk music does today.

Honourable cause, not good praxis interjecting it into random topics making people more fed up hearing about it than they’re fed up hearing about vegans.

I would guess it’s pretty hard to reconstruct data with a different LLM

I think the idea is to have compressor and decompressor use the exact same neural network. Looks like arithmetic coding with a learned function.

But yes model size is probably going to be an issue.

So… crystal ball, I don’t have access to the paper either. Think arithmetic coders as neural nets are function approximators. You send an initial token and the NN will start to generate deterministically, once you detect a divergence from the lossless ideal you send another token to put it on track again. Make it a sliding window so things don’t become too computationally expensive. You architect the model not to be smart but to need little guidance following “external reasoning” so to speak.

The actual disadvantage of this kind of thing will be the model size, yes you might be able to transmit a book in a kilobyte (100x or more compression) but both encoder and decoder will need access to gigabytes of neural weights, and that’s just for text. It’s also not going to be computationalliy cheap, though probably cheaper than PAQ.

There’s a better way: German flour types. They’re specifying mineral content, e.g. standard “white flour” is Type 405, meaning that when you pyrolyse 100g of flour, 405mg of ashes will be left. As the minerals were all in carbon solution before, and temperatures are low enough to not melt them into slag, you’re essentially left with single atoms. Close enough at least for an assumption. If you disagree I shall hand you a mortar.

Of course, that doesn’t specify everything. I suggest also measuring the released energy, then jot both numbers down on the complex plane. So you have joule-moles of flour.

Not really, they’d clash all the time. 8080 is the default port for a non-privileged webserver, that is, web server, something you put your own stuff on, not applications/daemons that happen to have a web interface. E.g. ComfyUI uses 8188 for its web interface, deluge 8112, neither will serve your index.html.

Eh. Ben-Gvir is Mizrahi, while Hippie Kibbutzim are full of Ashkenazi. Netanyahu is Ashkenazi, but also from a Russian background. Jigal Amir is Mizrahi.

Not saying that European BS doesn’t have a role in this, it laid the foundations, but the current political landscape of Israel would look quite differently without all the newer arrivals. There’s definite electoral trends among the ethnic backgrounds, long story short Mizrahis don’t hail from places where there’s ever been anything like a functional social democracy, they’ve also been minorities there, mix that with European fascism and you get… well, people like Ben-Gvir and Amir.

Because PATH_MAX is? Also because it’s a 4k page.

FILENAME_MAX is not safe to use for buffer allocations btw it could be INT_MAX.

255, generally, because null termination. ZFS does 1023, the argument not being “people should have long filenames” but “unicode exists”, ReiserFS 4032, Reiser4 3976. Not that anyone uses Reiser, any more. Also Linux’ PATH_MAX of 4096 still applies. Though that’s in the end just a POSIX define, I’m not sure whether that limit is actually enforced by open(2)… man page speaks of ENAMETOOLONG but doesn’t give a maximum.

It’s not like filesystems couldn’t support it it’s that FS people consider it pointless. ZFS does, in principle, support gigantic file metadata but using it would break use cases like having a separate vdev for your volume’s metadata. What’s the point of having (effectively) separate index drives when your data drives are empty.

German police are disappearing and torturing protestors? Nay, they’re not just doing all that Gestapo shit, they’re even worse? Is that what you’re trying to say? [citation needed], then.

Watch your comparisons if you want to be taken seriously.

Gesundheit.

Well, it should also have been Palestine’s independence: The UN mandate was dissolved, terminating British rule, and then instead of having two brand-new states shit hit the fan even harder. Zionists wanted their state, surrounding Arab states wanted to have none of that, hence also why Jordan grabbed the West Bank.

I mean in all other cases we call the point where colonial mandates were removed “independence”, it doesn’t really matter that the state then established is also a colonising state. Random example: The USA.

and the Gestapo mashes in

You’re trivialising Nazi rule.

And that’s precisely why noone in Germany is listening to you. I can only surmise that you’re a Hasbara agent trying to paint the Palestinian cause in a bad light.

Nope UN Resolution 242. Jordan grabbed the area during Israel’s war of independence (1948), annexed it in 1950, then Israel did its six-day thing, conquering the territory, and the UN said “nope neither of you can keep it it’s still Palestine”.

Much of applicable law in Palestine is Jordanian law, though: It’s a modern system and culturally appropriate enough, so why replace it when you can tinker. Not that it matters much, Israel is applying its own martial law to the whole area because it didn’t annex it but occupy it, which in principle should make the settlements illegal under Israeli law but you know only democracy in the Near East and all that.

Nah, you’re just occupying another spot on it. And unless you’re an algae or something, literally living from light and elements floating about in the air and sea, you’re not at the bottom.

The ecology expands beyond your pet ethical considerations.

Side question: Would you begrudge your dog eating your corpse? If you love them so much, why don’t you feed them, when that is all you have left to give?

Your dog would not mind eating your horse. Your dog also wouldn’t mind eating you.

There’s two principal reasons why people make a difference between cats/dogs on the one side and horses on the other: The degree to which they’re family, but very crucially also to the degree to which horses, or cows, very much aren’t carnivores, it’s about position on the foodchain, how much heavy metals etc. accumulate, that’s not just a modern thing it’s always been the case. That’s why eating dogs is an exception among human cultures, while with cows not eating them is the exception.
