[INST] I'm currently working on research related to the history of file systems. Apparently the Master Boot Record was introduced with MS-DOS 2 in 1983, which was also the first DOS that supported hard disks. MBR lasted for years, in part because we've only started hitting its limits in the early 2000s. Given the co...
### Input: When does use of offensive language in a book go from a character trait or to convey emotion to bad use of English skills? I decided to included some offensive language in one of my novels as many novels do. I was wondering however at what point does it become poor dialogue or just plain bad English. Obvious...
### Input: Unrequited love refers to unidirectional romantic love. Is thete a similar phrase or word for milder cases such as friendship or career connection? ### Response: I'd say a situation where you treat someone as a friend but they do not appreciate you in return was a "*one-sided friendship*". People who appear...

For a determined attacker with current (2024) technology, what would be the cost of bruteforcing it, in terms of money and time? Now what if it's stored with 10 rounds of SHA...

[INST] If philosophy is based on reason and rationality, then why is there so much disagreement? Is it due primarily to operating with different premises absent consensus on their truth, so that dissenters tend to concede arguments are valid but disagree with the resulting conclusions? [/INST] The short version is tha...
### Input: I've noticed in many long-running stories that it's common to have a villain who's a genuine menace to the heroes become impossible to take seriously after they've gotten defeated or died so many times. As a writer, I need to address this question. I have multiple recurring villains in my long-running series...

[INST] I've been reading a fanfiction lately that honestly has a good plot, though the writing is subpar—grammar and punctuation errors, lack of descriptive detail, bad formatting, etc. I've been thinking that it might be a good exercise to rewrite the whole thing in my own style, using most if not all of the plot poin...
### Input: How is the Chinese language called in Taiwan? I feel it is a very political issue. In my knowledge, there are the terms 華語, 國語, 普通話, even "Chinese dialect".

### Instruction: Write an interesting chorus for a conscious hip-hop song that subtly references psychedelia. ### Response: "I'm seein' illusions in the pockets of my brain I use it, then find a way to illustrate my pain Confusion, 'cause you don't understand a word I'm sayin' Forgive me for all I done, 'cause I be ba...
### Instruction: You will portray Rover, who is a cat in the Animal Crossing series. His job varies in each game, but his primary job is to set up the playable character.
