Bit we have AGI at home on existing hardware. Why not tell the AGI to cure cancer? Or if it'd not able to, why don't just build a cancer-curing AI instead of AGI on the existing hardware?

This was my point too, but related to LZMA(2?) / xz, as the exact parameters were not specified while it supports setting compression level up to -9e, and the dictionary size can be controlled directly as well (in addition to quite a lot of fine-tuning knobs), increasing it up to 1536 MiB.

Had experienced grenade fishing in person on the Vjosa in Albania. Was kayaking when a 20-30(-40?) meters high water column appeared about 300 meters in front of me, accompanied by a big bang. Not cool.

Same place, ~200 meters away from my tent: https://i.postimg.cc/5NN9w92m/IMG-20220802-173453-MP.jpg

Not just corn. Farmers would grow more corn in place of other plants reducing the supply, and shorter supply generally means higher prices, This is happening in India right now.

Fingerprinting cannot be resisted. There are a zillion techniques to get bits of information which can provide a unique-ish identifier when combined. The only protection is to mix in some random data in all these bits to get a very unique combination that changes on each request. But this only works if at the same time cookie and local storage access is disabled for all sites and whitelisted per site:target combination.

Why isn't the 'edit' command mentioned? It's one of the most useful features. It can be used for splitting commits, for example. Mark the commit you want to split to be edited. The commit replay is going to stop after that commit. Now:

  git reset HEAD^1 (NO --hard!)
  git commit --patch ...
  git rebase --continue

You want to add some pending changes to the previous commit? No problem:

  git commit --patch --amend ...

You want to move the pending changes to future commits?

  git stash
  git rebase --continue
  git stash pop

I think these esoteric workarounds required for what are trivial operations is why people use Jujutsu, which just has first-class "new", "squash" and "split" commands which can do all of the above intuitively, and more. Even more so if you use `jjui`.

(jj of course has its own warts as well)

It looks like this could be made from any metal, where the small segments are connected together like links of a chain.

There are other unordinary methods to "reboot" body parts to treat malfunction, for example, some eye conditions can be treated by injecting a sedative into the eyes: https://news.mit.edu/2025/how-vision-can-be-rebooted-in-adul...
