Wow didn't now that. I'm surprised I never heard of it, but I will definitely give it a try.

Is it reliable? Ad-blocking is a cat and mouse game and to actually have a useable ad-blocker it needs to be well maintained over a long period of time (for example like ublock origin).

Their concept looks nice, but they are researchers and I'm a bit afraid that they just drop that, write a paper about it and that's it. If there is no constant maintenance this will likely stop blocking YouTube Ads once Google deploys the next changes.

Update: checked the repo and it's actually a fork of ublock origin, so it should (for now) be pretty similar, but still they would have to keep maintaining that.

To be fair that's actually really hard once you are dead.

Black holes are GR and it wouldn't make the calculations much different. Take the moon for example, the orbit would be exactly the same no matter if earth is a rocky planet, a black hole or a point mass.

Tried to save and restart? Maybe the battery in the cartridge died?

Feel free to use floppy disks. Btw if you are online, you use WebP and PNG all the time 🤣

Would completely defeat the purpose of making a new smaller file format if we prefix if with the old format.

Probably US-Americans confusing anything that's not predatory capitalism with Russia and China.

Nobody claimed that any sewing machine has PhD level intelligence in almost all topics.

LLMs are marketed as "replaces jobs", "PhD level intelligence", "Reasoning models", "Deep think".

And yet all that "PhD level intelligence" consistently gets the simplest things wrong.

But, prove me wrong. Pick a game, prompt any LLM you like and share it here (the whole conversation not only a code snippet)

 

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.
