Me: What are the algorithms in "50 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know" by Imran Ahmad?

ChatGPT: I don't have direct access to the specific content of books or their indexes, including "50 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know" by Imran Ahmad. However, I can suggest some common algorithms that are likely to be included in a book aimed at covering essential algorithms for programmers: (invented list of algorithms follows)

Me posing the same question to the newly-released Llama3:70b :

A coward's only reward is to live in fear another day
A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn
A pity it is that we can die but once in the Emperor's service
A small mind is a tidy mind
A suspicious mind is a healthy mind
A swift execution is worth a hundred interrogations
Abhor the mutant
Abhor the Night, it is the Light that Endures
Abhor the xenos
Abhorrence is a gift; use it well

  # This bash one-liner performs the following tasks:
  # 1. It sets the PS_PERSONALITY environment variable to 'linux' which standardizes the output format of the 'ps' command.
  # 2. Runs the 'ps' command with the following options:
  #    - 'e' to include processes from all users,
  #    - 'o pid,args' to only show process ID and command arguments,
  #    - '--sort=-pid' to sort by process ID in descending order (so it kills the newest processes first),

defmodule HendricksFormatter do
	@moduledoc """
	This module is a formatter plugin for Elixir's `mix format` task
	that converts leading whitespace to tabs.
	It tries to intelligently determine the tab width based on the most common
	counts of leading space runs in the file.
	It allows additional space characters for minor adjustments that are below the tab width.
	OK, why tabs? Why resurrect this age-old nerd debate again?
	Very simple: It's an accessibility issue:
