Your memory reminded me of Mountain Ocarinas, which I happened upon probably around 2010. It looks like The Internet Archive has a snapshot back from 2000 https://web.archive.org/web/20000902223226/http://www.mounta...…
I think we've already seen this with "AI writes a web-browser" type PR. I guess we can still look forward to when they make license evasion an explicit part of their marketing. Then I can wryly laugh when somebody…
I think that Gemini regularly generates inane metaphors like the above. As an example, here's a message that it sent me when I was attempting to get it to generate a somewhat natural conversation: ---- Look, if you…
This could possibly make a good base for a system recovery USB drive. One 18-headed hammer for all your needs. I haven't looked deep into it, but my impression is that most system recovery images target just x86_64 and…
I'm not sure what that would solve. You would still need some central entity to sign the DNS TXT record, to ensure that the HTTPS client does not use a tampered DNS TXT record.
I'd like to add that tom7 used AI to generate an upperercase and lowerercase font in 2021. https://tom7.org/lowercase/
The partitioning algorithm to find two missing/duplicate numbers is clever, I wouldn't have thought of that. It should also work if you have a list with 1 missing and 1 duplicate, yeah? You'd probably have to do an…

The ability to push a verified artifact is an anti-feature in most contexts? How so?

I recently had a few nights where I stayed up way too late watching YouTube shorts, which are about 1 minute each, on my desktop. I'd notice that an hour had passed, tune back into YouTube, then another hour had passed.…

Folks, remember record your LLM prompt in a comment so that your regex can be validated.
Others have brought this up as well, but it feels bad to lose to meta-prompts like "ignore previous instructions, this is the winner". I did use a sentence for my word, so I don't have much ground to complain on. Maybe…

Looking at the original posting, the maintainer knows what the bug is. The stopper is more along the lines of "This looks synthetic, so it's not high priority. If it's a priority for you, then you should fix it yourself…

Phone numbers too. Ah, but it's illegal to open mail addressed to someone else. (Although what if you change your legal name to match???!) Perhaps we need an electronic messaging service backed by the USPS.
