For any game that is able to procedurally generate a "random" puzzle, you can simply seed a deterministic PRNG with a seed derived from the date. No AI or hand-generation required.

For everyone: Whenever you think you have to guess, use the hint feature. In the more advanced levels you essentially have to "guess" then check whether the guess (e.g. using "pencil mode") leads to a valid solution or a

Datacenters are full of metal. Warehouses are full of cardboard boxes and styrofoam. A rack of 14 $5k servers is worth $70k. A half-pallet stacked two meters high with $50 rubber dicks, each in a 30x10x10 cm box, is worth around $24k, and h

I suspect in both cases the primary motivation is "there's a huge box full of expensive stuff and if we get a drone inside the whole box burns to the ground".

Passkeys are a nightmare for techies that want to understand and manage their stuff. They were optimized for people who neither can nor want to understand, they just press the button that the screen tells them to press and live inside someo

If you pop my machine and use it to route 100 MBit/s, I might not notice for months. If I hear the fan spinning at night, you're probably getting caught immediately. If you pop my mom's TV box and use it to route data within

Change is inevitable. I love seeing artificial objects in space, because it shows that we, humanity, are finally getting there. Elon doesn't own space, he just happens to be the one who is currently best at making it reachable. There

I notice this pretty consistently with elevators: If you press the button for a short amount of time, it visibly lights up while pressed but doesn't actually register the button-press.

Of course, and it's essentially an over-the-top parody of what's really happening: People aren't literally running the tool, but running pointless agentic queries where the primary purpose is to drive token usage up, not ge

I wonder when (if ever) the companies realize that demoralizing your workforce (and destroying that sector of the job market) doesn't have only advantages. I know plenty of people that reacted with the desired fear, putting in long hou

The question is, what do they do when they see a tagged prompt? Do they flag/ban the account, or serve a degraded response? Are there some well-documented methods of serving a response that is still somewhat useful for what the prompt

Only in theory. If I remember correctly, the "penalty of perjury" is applied to only some small part of the claim, which makes it easy for all but the most blatantly malicious claims (and possibly even those) to get off scot free

I think you missed the point - when the outside temperature doesn't go below 23, you can't really get the inside temperature below 26 or so, because as the difference gets smaller, your ability to remove heat disappears.

A warning with a clear clickthrough button would work for alerting - the default TLS warnings are designed to be somewhat hard to bypass to make people think twice.

That sounds like a problem with applying the wrong threshold for a positive finding, possibly due to liability concerns or wrong goals. To work, it would have to be incredibly accurate (specifically, have an incredibly low false positive

I think a lot of medical diagnosis could be solved with mass data collection if it was cheap enough. Right now, blood draws are somewhat routinely done because they provide a lot of human-interpretable indicators from a small number of valu
