Really enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing. I’m surprised by the random page implementation.
Usually in a database each record has an integer primary key. The keys would be assigned sequentially as pages are created. Then the “random page” function could select a random integer between zero and the largest page index. If that index isn’t used (because the page was deleted), you could either try again with a new random number or then march up to the next non empty index.
Professional scientist here. I would take a table of logarithms. In a world without computers, the logarithm table and slide rule are the essential tools of how things got built. We built the Golden Gate Bridge and put a man on the moon using nothing more than log tables.
Any one person can remember the gist of the scientific method and write it down on a page. To write down a quality logarithm table you would need 500 pages.
I’m going crazy, but if this compiles at all I bet it generates the same machine code when compiled with each line reversed.
Do you know what would make Latin America safe against foreign interventions and coups: robust government and civil institutions with broad popular support. Blaming America for it’s history of interventions will do nothing to protect you from China doing the same thing. The only people who can build and protect the autonomy and liberty of Latin America are the Latin Americans themselves.
Background: my family was forced out of Nicaragua during the US intervention in the 1930s.
You are awesome man. I wanted to wait until the instance matured before committing to a monthly donation but I am signing up now. You’re the best instance admin anyone can hope for. Glad to see your patch make it to 0.18
As someone who regularly uses freezers like this, this would PISS ME OFF.
Yeah, came here to say that too. There are lots of goofy pictures of Bush. His goofy smile after dodging the shoe is classic. The man deserves to be mocked. The moment Bush was told about 9/11 while reading to kids was not in good taste.
I don’t agree this is gentrification, but aside from your questionable vocabulary I don’t disagree. I came from reddit, understand that it is different, and celebrate the differences.

Well I am here. What do you want to talk about?
I hate to say I was too lazy to Google it, but where is the source code and how is it licensed?
You may not agree with the policy or the tools used, but the rules were clear, and at this point she has no evidence that she did not use some other Generative AI tool. It’s just her word against another AI that is trained to detect generated material.
What is telling is her reaction to all of this, literally making a national news story because she was flagged as a cheater. I promise if she wasn’t white or attractive NY Post wouldn’t do anything. What a massive self own. Long after she leaves school this story will be the top hit on a google search of her name and she will out herself as a cheater.
