BliBli: SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive 64GB

I have purchased two "Sandisk Ultra Dual Drive 64GB" flash drives online from the same online seller at BliBli. It turned out that the two disks were from different distributors with different performances! Not expecting this, I ignored to note which flash drive came from which distributor.

I performed three similar read/write tests on both flash drives. The result is as follows:

=========================
test1: 0:05:18 vs 0:12:33
test2: 0:21:40 vs 0:50:41
test3: 0:13:24 vs 0:34:18
=========================

Both capacities are around 64GBytes, but one can write at around 30Mbps while the other is only around 10Mbps.

SLOW DISK (10Mbps write)

FASTER DISK (30 Mbps write)

Next Purchase

I bought two "SanDisk CZ550 64GB Ultra Curve USB 3.2" from the same seller this time but through Tokopedia. The GREEN one comes from ASTRINDO, while the BLUE one comes from DATASCRIPT.

Henceforth, those originating from ASTRINDO are called "GREEN," while those deriving from DATASCRIPT are called "BLUE."

chatGPT (OpenAI): Still in Infancy

See: https://chat.openai.com/chat

Me

Before there was the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Indonesia, in 1972, the University of Indonesia established the Center for Computer Science (Pusilkom UI).

OpenAI:

Yes, that is correct. The Center for Computer Science (Pusilkom UI) was established at the University of Indonesia in 1972. In 1983, Pusilkom UI was merged with the Department of Electrical Engineering to form the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (Fasilkom Elektro UI). In 1992, the faculty was split into two separate units: the Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom UI) and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (Fakultas Teknik Elektro UI). Today, Fasilkom UI is a leading institution for the study of computer science and related fields in Indonesia.

Me:

Pusilkom UI was NEVER merged with the Department of Electrical Engineering to form the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (Fasilkom Elektro UI).

OpenAI:

I apologize if my previous statement was incorrect. As a language model, my responses are generated based on the information available to me at the time of your query. I am not able to browse the internet or access any external sources of information. My knowledge is limited to what I have been trained on by OpenAI, and my responses are not always accurate or up-to-date. I apologize for any confusion or misinformation I may have provided.

Me:

Which is smarter: HAL 9000, Skynet, You, or Lt. Cmdr. Data?

OpenAI:

It is difficult to compare the intelligence of these characters as they are all fictional and have different abilities and limitations. However, here is a general comparison:

• HAL 9000: HAL 9000 is a highly advanced artificial intelligence system capable of handling complex spaceship operations and engaging in human-like conversations. However, its programming and decision-making abilities are limited by its original design and can malfunction.

 

• Skynet: Skynet is a global network of machines designed for military control. It became self-aware and decided to destroy humanity, which shows a certain level of cunning and decision-making abilities. However, it lacks emotions and empathy.

 

• ChatGPT: ChatGPT is a language model AI developed by OpenAI that can generate human-like text and answer questions based on its training data. It is highly capable in the tasks it was designed for, but it does not possess the same level of general intelligence or decision-making abilities as HAL 9000 or Skynet.

 

• Lt. Cmdr. Data: Lieutenant Commander Data is an android character from Star Trek: The Next Generation who has a highly advanced positronic brain. He is capable of complex problem solving and decision making, and also has the ability to experience emotions, although he struggles with fully understanding them.

 

It is worth noting that all of these characters are fictional and do not exist in the real world, and their abilities and limitations are defined by their respective narratives.

Bambu Runcing: Romantika dan Realita

Salah satu (dari banyak) masalah bangsa ialah --- sejarah ingin ditetapkan dengan DEMOKRASI -- suara terbanyaklah yang menang tanpa perlu ada penelitian dan verifikasi. Demikian juga dengan peranan Bambu Runcing dalam perang kemerdekaan.

Tentunya, kita telah membaca banyak cerita tentang Bambu Runcing. Monumen Bambu Runcing didirikan dimana-mana, serta setiap 17-Agustusan akan ada spanduk heroik para pejuang dengan Bambu Runcing. Se-olah-olah, kita "mengusir" penjajah hanya dengan senjata Bambu Runcing! Seberapa akuratkah cerita-cerita yang beredar?

Setelah GSGS (Google Sana, Google Sini), tidak (belum?) ditemukan informasi rinci seputar penggunaan Bambu Runcing. Belum ada data akurat, berapa "korban" akibat penggunaan Bambu Runcing. Juga tidak ada informasi perihal bagaimana biasanya digunakan: apakah dilempar atau di tusuk?

Bambu Runcing --- telah dikenal saat jaman pendudukan Jepang --- digunakan  untuk senjata latihan murah meriah. Istilah Jepang untuk Bambu Runcing ialah "takeyari." Saat perang kemerdekaan, Bambu Runcing juga dikenal dengan sebagai "cucukan."

Berdasarkan buku "Bisikan Nurani Seorang Jenderal: Kumpulan Wawancara Dengan Media Massa," jendral Nasution mengungkapkan:

“Adalah setengah mitos di minggu-minggu pertama merdeka maka rakyat dengan bambu runcing seakan-akan pagar betis menjadi kekuatan untuk memaksa pejabat di kantor, lingkungan, pabrik, dan lain-lain agar taat kepada RI. Tapi, pada pertempuran real, bambu runcing itu lebih banyak jadi senjata semangat.”

SUMBER GSGS (Google Sana Google Sini)

Hasil dari GSGS simpang-siur, sehingga sulit dipastikan sumber asli dari informasi serta foto yang digunakan. Sumber yang digunakan diantaranya dari  Collectie Troepenmuseum, Kang Udo (wordpress.com), KASKUS.com, Kendawanganku (blogspot.com), Obor Seinendan (1 Mei 1945), Randy Wirayudha (Okezone), Shareinfo35 (blogspot.com).
