The reverse turing test

I asked GPT-4 to come up with 10 questions to determine if the answerer was AI or human.

I provided my own answers for these questions and I also asked ChatGPT to answer them.

The result is that GPT-4 was able to correctly differentiate between AI and Human.

History

For a long time I've been really impacted by the ease of use Cassandra and CockroachDB bring to operating a data store at scale. While these systems have very different tradeoffs what they have in common is how easy it is to deploy and operate a cluster. I have experience with them with cluster sizes in the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of nodes and in comparison to some other clustered technologies they get you far pretty fast. They have sane defaults that provide scale and high availability to people that wouldn't always understand how to achieve it with more complex systems. People can get pretty far before they have to become experts. When you start needing more extreme usage you will need to become an expert of the system just like any other piece of infrastructure. But what I really love about these systems is it makes geo-aware data placement, GDPR concerns potentially simplified and data replication and movement a breeze most of the time.

WAR ON RAZE

This is the story of what happened when I went down a rabbit hole.

It starts with k7. If you press Ctrl-] in the k7 WASM console, this appears:

x^x*/:x:2_!100

That's a prime number filter. There are faster ones - kparc.com's x,1_&&/80#'!:'x is beautiful - but this one is really short.

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

Meltdown fix impact on Redis performances in virtualized environments

UPDATE: apparently kernel difference may have a serious impact, so I'll redo the test from scratch.

Test performed with AOF enabled, fsync policy 1 second, allowing the rewrites to be triggered.
