if my system touches SWAP at all, it's run out of memory

That's a swap myth. Swap is not an emergency memory, it's about creating a memory reclamation space on disk for anonymous pages (pages that are not file-backed) so that the OS can more efficiently use the main memory.

The swapping algorithm does take into account the higher cost of putting pages in swap. Touching swap may just mean that a lot of system files are being cached, but that's reclaimable space and it doesn't mean the system is running out of memory.

not making illegal and support from the national health service are vastly different things. 15% is a disastrous rate for public health.

I disagree. What I could hack over a weekend starting a project, I can do in a couple hours with AI, because starting a project is where the typing bottleneck is, due to all of the boilerplate. I can't type faster than an LLM.

Also, because there are hundreds of similar projects out there and I won't get to the parts that make mine unique in a weekend, that's the perfect use case for "vibe coding".

what are sections, chapters, indices? Who's the librarian?

we don't need to go all the way into a metaphor

you haven't seen my frontend code

potentially relevant: paperless recently merged some opt-in LLM features, like chatting with documents and automated title generation based on the OCR context extracted.

A Nobel Peace Prize can also never be revoked. The decision is final and applies for all time.

yeah, it'd be hilarious if the committee decided to withdraw her prize, even if just symbolically.

Python stack traces give you all files involved in the error, with their lines. I don't know what you're talking about

how's that the same thing as in the picture?

The waste of power is often associated to the proof of work consensus, but that's not a requirement of blockchain. There are other ways to create consensus.

The bandwidth requirements really depend on what's being stored, but it's usually very manageable for a server. And clients not running validation don't need to store or transfer that much data.

git itself is really not far from a blockhain. Blockchain is fine, it only has a bad rep because of ponzi schemes that use it to create crypto, but the technology and trustless consensus mechanisms are interesting.
