My favorite link of all time:

Definitely not meta

I got one where the called script ended in ".pl" and I had a flashback to the 90s. My trousers grew into JNCOs, Limp Bizkit started playing out of nowhere and I got a massive urge to tell Slashdot that Alan Thicke had died.

With Firefox on Android it simply says

Deceptive site issue

This web page at [...] has been reported as a deceptive site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

What's going on? I can't find any setting to disable this.

NextDNS is blocking it too (https://google.c1ic.link/lottery_qrdLCz_account_verification). The reason is that Google Safe Browsing considers that site as unsafe.

TBF it ought to trigger even the simplest heuristics so it wouldn't surprise me if it was automatically categorized that way.

I was able to get past that (Firefox on the Desktop) by clicking the "see details" button and then clicking the "ignore the risk" link. It took me a while to actually read the text too.

Imagine using this as your personal website lol

email too

I personally believe that the ideal situation is in fact everyone reclining their seat

I'm about 6' tall, even. In some cattlejets, my knees physically touch the seat in front of me. A lady on a recent flight flung her seat back and I cried out involuntarily in sudden pain.

I understand why she wanted to lean back. And yet, when she did, it freaking hurt. I'm around the 80th percentile in height in the US, and while my doctor says I could lose a few pounds, I wear a men's large shirt so I'm not exactly enormous. Even though they seat can technically recline, you cannot convince me that they're actually meant to.

Can I have the 5th element padded roller beds that are disinfected between every use?

My ideal airline would be one where you show up to the airport with your luggage, check it in, and then they knock you out and load you on the plane.

You get woken up at your destination after they've taken you off the plane. It would be the closest thing you can get to teleportation.

Then the airline wouldn't have to fuss with preparing shitty food and coffee or deal with annoying passengers. A win for everyone!

Basically this but they won't even have to trick me to knock me out.

they had this in "the 5th element"

Not every seat reclines: the one in front of the exit row is a key example.

When I lived in Texas, we had a massive storm in winter of 2021 leaving many without power for a week.

I was told that Texas maintained its own energy grid independent from the rest of the nation’s eastern and western grids, and supposedly only had a handful of high-voltage DC lines running between Texas’s and the rest of the nation’s. Supposedly this was why we couldn’t rely on excess capacity from anywhere else in the nation while our power generation capability was down.

But this map doesn’t seem to show Texas as isolated - there appear to be many lines in and out and no clear separation?

More info on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Interconnection

> The Texas Interconnection is maintained as a separate grid for political, rather than technical reasons

Texas is actually on ~4 different grids. I live north of Houston and I'm on MISO.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/ERCOT-geographic-footpri...

That's not what that image means at all. If you look closely, you'll even see 3 additional colors, plus white, from the 4 I'm guessing you identified.

Those are ERCOT load zones, a distinct concept and all within the ERCOT interconnection (grid).

On the markets side, Texas is made up of ERCOT, and then has portions in (descending order) MISO, SPP, and the non-market West.

In terms of "grids" Texas is mostly ERCOT, and then the Eastern Interconnection with a small smidge of Western Interconnection in the far west in El Paso Electric's territory.

I don’t understand why you want to enforce only using the public key instead of private key - while I believe you that as of now browsers do not disclose the public key anywhere, I’d also suspect that this is far more likely to be violated and accidentally disclosed by a bug than the private key, which theoretically cannot ever leave the TPM.

Would KDF(deterministic_sign(“well-known message”)) not also provide valid entropy?

Is it just impossible to force a nonce for a deterministic signature?

One of the many patron saints of engineers!

If he so believed in it, may his arrow be pointing up! :)

As a quick hack, is this flaw fixed by using top-p or top-k or min-p or whatever the current hottest logit sampling algorithm is?

The "flaw" is also fixed by simply not recognizing the end-of-sampling token. Even the limited size of the context window can be worked around with tool calls.

How hackable is the firmware, if we want to assign different handling to the button presses?

Can we flash our own firmware to the device?

The firmware is not open source. I licensed it from a friend of mine.

You can definitely assign different actions to button presses, that's handled by the phone side

The more interesting question is is it even possible to learn the logic gates solution through gradient descent?

You could riff off an approach similar to https://google-research.github.io/self-organising-systems/di...

Is sizecoding the same as the demoscene?

Size optimizing assembly code finds use in a variety of places. Demoscene for size constrained things is one of them, but also "hacking"/exploits and of course "whitehat" stuff (patches / compiler optimization etc).

Relevant link to the current masters of the sizecoding niche: https://marqueedesign.demoscene.com/

You could call it a sub-scene of the demoscene, I suppose.

One signed up knowing the risk

(not defending, I also think its insane, just devils advocate)
