Will need to degauss after this

What, you don't need the data any more? Or are you conflating screen degaussing?

We used to degauss the CRTs because it looked cool and there was nothing else to do. Very adjacent to watching the defrag window maximised.

I did it in computer lab and showed others and the teacher lost it, thought we were breaking things.

It also made a really satisfying “boyoyoyinnng” sound

Where do you get this free beer?

This is why I prefer "gratis" vs "libre" instead of "free as in speech" vs "free as in beer". gratis/libre are clear and succinct.

As for an actual answer: parties, weddings.

Weddings tend to have a free speech or two, too!

I'm sure this has already been answered somewhere in slashdot hundreds of years ago, but why not just go with "free as in freedom"? And perhaps use the word freedom insted of free when possible

Because freedom isn't free!

But in all seriousness, "free as in freedom" seems fine to me but it is replacing the already unambiguous "free as in speech". You're still stuck with the sometimes-confusing "free as in beer" and they're still cumbersome compared to gratis/libre.

That only works if your audience knows what libre and gratis mean.

I think the free speech is equally elusive in this context.

I used to love watching the “unlimited” storage counter increase as each second went by

I wonder how this would work in trying to parallelize the worker threads (multiple duckdb instances) coordinating them via Quack.

Ducks all the way down!

One step further are those who want to point an llm directly at the data warehouse to get the data needed to run predictions

I think we shot ourselves in the foot by calling machine learning AI for so many years and now calling LLMs AI. We have a bunch of non-technical folks in our company who are convinced if we just give them access to claude with a connection to the data that it can make all these predictions for them.

We have called lots of things AI over the years. How many things have been called AI from at least as far back as Eliza in the 1960s?
