a) Cool :) and I definitely agree with the crazy part, I think I remember stumbling on this by chance and not quite being able to sensibly reconcile/accept what was going on in my head (neurologically) lol ("well that's broke

Wow, thanks for finding that PDF! I would not have had the first clue where to start. In the Fading section on page 5 there's actually a reference to "An Active Feedback System for Stabilizing Visual Images" (1975, DOI 10.1

It doesn't quite land the same way to have to explain it long-form, but... I remember learning years ago about an experiment some researchers did where they anesthetized some test subjects' eye muscles (don't remember how), b

Huh. This is all about the impact on vision as opposed to imagination (or whatever it is that REM does), but that really does pose some interesting questions about long-tail impacts. Mirror neurons come to mind...

a) I personally find that looking at the second hand just as it clicks into position - so I'm looking at the frozen second hand for a whole second - amplifies the effect for me. So I watch the clock for a bit to observe the seconds pas

I'm admittedly having a hard time figuring out practical attacks that could make use of this. Screen content manipulation (eg a desktop)? Exceedingly unlikely to be the simplest strategy. Real-world manipulation? Not sure what could be

Expectation and also language. I've read that there are native languages out there with some large number of words for certain shades of color, and no words for other colors. Speakers of the language can very reliably distinguish the c

Pardon me for ignoring the implied "please ignore", but I'm very curious what "typedream" refers to? The only references I can find online are to a website builder platform, but the name sounds like it could represe

This is an offtopic side-track/distraction, but I've been completely thrown by the masking in the screenshots and example CSV dump. The first thing I'm distracted by in the expanded Wi-Fi menu in the first link is "Add

Ooooh. Now I wanna find out how I can fly over an area with a drone and make pictures like the example! On a somewhat smaller, more theoretical note, I wonder what "a radar signal" is as far as a Wi-Fi SoC is concerned. Sounds lik

This might actually be completely fixable by borrowing the trick Bluetooth-less Wi-Fi lightbulbs use for pairing. To pair, the lightbulb's ESP8266 (or cheaper equivalent) sits with its Wi-Fi radio in monitor mode - not authenticated to

I guess I was defaulting to imagining the percentage would be based on published earnings. I can see how that wouldn't realistically work in this case on second thought.

Hmm. I think I assumed the existence of some sort of captive interest/leverage opportunity and was digging around blindly to try and find a path that leads there. I think that's called wandering when it works :) but this is a bit

Good question. Telegram's infrastructure and dev ecosystem is vaguely weird, much like its overall technical design. Originally the bot framework was HTTP-based, in the literal sense that new message <-> new HTTP GET, and you&#x2

https://dr-emann.github.io/squashfs/squashfs.html suggests this may be possible with a small handful of HTTP requests (less than 10, likely 5 or 6).

Wow, this map is really cool. I'm (very) idly curious how accurate the reporting for the Sydney region is, because I just looked up the lat/lon, and found myself in the middle of an urban mall environment that I've walked pas

Huh, that prompts the thought that it could be cool to have some sort of tracing tool that captures all the state changes associated with a particular HTTP request. I wonder how easy that would be to put together?

This is entirely unrelated to the discussion, but something interesting happened to this subchain and I can't just wander past :). I came back to this tab after a few hours to find (at the point I'd come back) that all three p
