Of course it is political agenda driven, but at least from surface it does not have _fear mongering_ vibe, comparing for example with Sweden which did not conclude citizenship applications and applied back dated refusal. Also politician openly attribting all immigrants as source of increasing crime and lowering education levels.
10m is larger than current resident counts, so people moving in can decide now if they want to move with uncertainty. It is not what everyone would like, but it is more understandable that recent Swedish changes, for example.
> doesn’t pose any constraints on the type of data.
logic, raw disk is also a database. One just need to add block level replication to other nodes to build a replicated/ HA database.
We may not agree, but anything not providing transactions across logically related multiple data read/ update operations is not a database.
> multiple instances to provide the same data
is easy and done by a bunch of software out there, but
> multiple instances to provide the same data on non-shared memory computers, with consistency
is a really hard problem, and no one has been able to solve it yet without introducing other problems to be considered (giving up on fast performance being one of the most visible one) by architects/ developers.
Point is... with AOF and RDB enabled, and wait command used in sane manner, one can get reasonable consistency with a significant speed tradeoff and increase in application complexity. So if consistent cache is needed, one can have that with some compromises, but then probably one could use a database straight away.
No two processes can guarantee data consistency unless using shared memory with some kind of locking on update. And given two servers don't share memory, two processes running on these servers can not guarantee consistency either.
To put the simple terms...
App writes to node-A, node-A (/process on node-A) crashes before change is synced from node-A to node-B, data is lost.
This is true for redis and true for postgresql/ mysql or any similar database. Difference between redis and a "database" is that database protects against this problem by writing change to durable storage before telling app that write is successful. Redis
Genuinely interested why we need HA in redis, just not read round robin from multiple non-HA instances?
Redis (and memcache) are memory caches and should be treated like that, not like highly consistent distributed session store.
I hope so too, however cheap is relative. One's ordinary morning coffee is a full day wage for someone else. If we could have decent models fitting laptops of most students, that would be point where we could possibly treat AI as we treat calculator or computer today.
Just to put things in context, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8444gex65o shares income for a good number of people now a days. (note that many of those workers are taking care of a family of 2+ members, most of the time)
> Rather than banning the use of AI and trying to catch students who are cheating, why aren't they creating schoolwork that requires AI?
That is way to high recurring cost that many won't be able to afford. One could get a second hand calculator or even computer, and then additional resources needed was one's willingness.
With mandating AI usage, we'd only increase the gap of haves and have-nots. I personally do not like the idea.
Well actually you ate poisoned food made by someone else, which had a similar looking name (typo squatting).
Who is responsible here? One who wrote code?
"disclosing them to relevant authorities" would not bring the message to those affected by such carelessness. I would think "Disclosing them to the public" brings more awareness in the public, and though might be illegal, serves better for public good.
Legal is not always just or moral.
Even two wrong, but countering, inputs can sometimes provide right answer, so the rational above has some merit.
But if I interpret the question with line of thinking "should I anticipate right/ full answers despite incorrect/ incomplete inputs?" I think Baggage was pointing out the problem in the logic why such questions should arise.
I would expect the question to be phrased "under what circumstances the machine with provide wrong outputs?", and would have hoped for Babbage (or may be anyone) explaining many ways how things could go wrong.
> On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
I guess many of us quality for british parliament.
