I agree. I see ChatGPT as similar to music synthesizers. They enable creativity. Creativity in novel ways as well.

What if you want to express yourself with a violin sound but don't know how to play one?

I attempted many times to use this extension under Windows. It was one of the most frustrating software installation experiences I've ever had. I never got it to work. Note that it has a 2 star review.

Perhaps Apple developers don't know how to write a Windows program but the macOS version will be usable.

Looks like there are no restrictions on nationality or language (like .cat).

I was unable to set up my domain with Cloudflare's name servers because you need to register the domain first and the registration process requires that the domain is served by the name servers you enter. I ended up selecting "parked" instead and should be able to switch it later.

Here are the commits I could find that remove the "telemetry:"

Before the Available column there was the -/+ buffers/cache line that provided the same information. Maybe it was too confusing.

If bazonga.com is domain only accessible through the VPN then you most likely always want to look up flargle.bazonga.com through the VPN name servers. On the internet you'll get NXDOMAIN.

However, this could be solved by setting the name servers always to the VPN name servers and make them recursive. But then, what if those name servers don't have internet access?

Yes, and if you look at the at the IHS it looks like it was intended to cover the RAM, but couldn't, so they just chopped that part of it off.

Deprecating scp 6 years ago

There are patches for openssh when using it over LFNs: https://psc.edu/research/networking/hpn-ssh/ (which seems to be in a sad state currently). These patches might interact poorly with other implementations (e.g., it didn't interoperate with paramiko (2 years ago)).

Also, make sure TCP window scaling is working. I was making transfers through a F5 Big-IP which was running a profile that disabled it.

In his Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein's response to this problem are the concepts of "language games" and "family resemblance." From https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/wittgenstein/#LangGameFam...:

Still, just as we cannot give a final, essential definition of ‘game’, so we cannot find “what is common to all these activities and what makes them into language or parts of language” (PI 65).

There is no reason to look, as we have done traditionally—and dogmatically—for one, essential core in which the meaning of a word is located and which is, therefore, common to all uses of that word. We should, instead, travel with the word’s uses through “a complicated network of similarities overlapping and criss-crossing” (PI 66).

For mysql it is "--i-am-a-dummy". I wish SQL supported putting the where clause first: "where X = Y update..."

As it turns out, the getpid function supposedly takes no parameters, so the inclusion of the parameters in the call above perplexed me.

This is due to the fact that dtruss is actually a shell script trying to emulate truss with a d script and not quite succeeding.

See the section starting with the comment "print 0 arg output" in dtruss if you wish to understand the meaning of the 3 "arguments."

getpid() is most likely being called with 0 arguments.
