And them, ... actually not an error. Server costs went up with AI needs, you know. The AWS incident is about inaccuracy, not "absurd values".

You gotta catch-up or die.

I used to do that. Them move to a NodeJS script.

Because bash is maybe worst than C for this task.

_ache_ — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 20:28:17 +0000

Yeah, exactly. My girlfriend did it too, using information theory. In my solution, I did chose a word that minimized the size of the larger set of possible guesses. It's not strictly information theory, but it's a good approximation of finding 'the word that brings the most information [this turn]'.

I suspect that this researchers work involves formalizing and proving the optimality of their solution.

"Google", for french speaking people, looks like "Gogol" which means "stupid" or "retarded".

I don't get the goal of the website. It's averted as a specification, but to spec what ?! Everything is sourced to another "source of truth".

I'm on a self-hosted seaxng. It's great. I just need a computer up 24h/7d.

A VPS with without a black listed IP is good. A simple rootless container, update is easy.

Configuration takes little time, not much.

I still hate that I have to double the bang to use the same bang as DDG.

Example: "!!wde Ente" to go to the German wikipedia page about duck instead of "!wde Ente" with DDG.

What is the hell is muslims-of-github.tar.gz ?! I guess nebula is the new PRISM. What is `newly-packaged-malware` ?!

I'm sorry for Sophie.

Just an opinion. There is more AC in Asia and South Asia and more heat waves related deaths.

You number, approximately right but means nothing and the link AC => Less deaths by Heat Wave isn't supported by any fact.

Others factors like percent of the population > 70y, difference between usual temp / mean temperature in an heat wave and access to fresh and clean water should be more correlated than "AC implantation per hundred inhab".

Can't afford? It's not about that, it's cultural. AC is cheap.

The compute power needed use to be of the order of 5s per password try. So it effectively mitigate brute force back them, you need a absurd compute power to crack them.

Moore law did its thing, now you can do it with a lot less computer power.

If someone doesn't want you to use AI on their repository, they state it. And if they want to "booby trap" (Antropic logic), them it's they right, you have been warned.

I can't see how you rights to use AI is prevalent on the right of anybody to write the string "OpenClaw" or any string forbidden by your AI provider.

Seriously, if the author hides it and trick your AI agent to check it, well maybe. But otherwise, it's not even a question.

You are missing the point. It's more about the connection made with the user who trust the AI. Think about all the elders that fall for the "kid abroad who need money". The connection is more important than the facts.

The problem is not (not only) that it told a 50 something guy someone is coming to kill him. The problem is the bond with the user.

Everyone is fallible; you just need to craft the right narrative. Obviously, been educated about what AI makes you less affected, ..., by AI only.

I'm not leaving boody traps. I have the right to talk about OpenClaw or even to write the anti antropic string. I didn't delete you token usage or charge you extra boxes. Antropic did.

If tomorrow Antropic decide to charge you extra if you interact with someone who talked badly about them, I'm still in my right to talk shit about them.
