<p>Good game concept and implementation. Run smoothly even on phone.<p>Extend the capability to include timer, boost of speed and even levels with enemies.. I would love to also try having a kind of multi level support for moves.. Like 3 layers to explore the 3d navigation with layers of ground for moves.<p>Awesome experiments that could easily become viral! :)</p>

<p>I remember the talk and thought about it when I saw the news.<p>No conspiracy or whatever, just thinking about the complex system which is also vulnerable for some parts.</p>

<p>I've experimented with GCP's Stack using Agent Builder and relying on Gemini Pro 1.5.<p>I also experimented with pretty large of various files (around 6000 video games full notices) where I used OCR parsing in a similar configuration with mixed results due to the visual complexity of the original content.</p>

<p>Well written and highly detailed description, as always with Fabien's work.<p>I remember seeing the investigation on this iPhone protection back at the time, what a journey it has been since this work.<p>Also, I hope someone can provide more information about that minus 0x400 shift before data write so it would be completely explained.</p>

<p>Out of the selected topic, the technical context is amazingly well written and the analysis is strong.<p>PostGIS usage and optimizations are well detailed and I really liked the various options exploration and index explanation and implementation by samples.<p>Thanks a lot for sharing.</p>

<p>I worked for Eurotunnel/Getlink, actual operator of the tunnel(s), as a software architect between 2012 and 2020.<p>I can tell several fossils were displayed in the main office building both in France and in UK.<p>I remember a big ammonite, like 90 cm wide at least, displayed on the French Terminal, main office building with a sign next to it explaining the context of the discovery.</p>

<p>We all have the biggest movie in mind and we know the unfortunate situation our heroe is facing right now, makes us all doomed.<p>More seriously, interestingly, those analysis would require early detection and therefore investments on such approach, which might not be always the case. The article was interesting and I hope we won't be prototyping soon.</p>

<p>466 vs transparently slow the response (exponential throttling)? To avoid having auto reconnecting behavior? Maybe both.</p>

<p>Nice implementation and animations.<p>I've used summle.net for a couple of months.<p>Few ideas from their implementation:
- achievements, badges and stats
- hints when your stuck
- 3 levels (for kids, normal, extreme)
- quick erase all
- % of overall resolution from other user
- best solution (in N moves VS your K moves)<p>Few other ideas:
- dark mode
- practice mode (more user retention, just like quordle)<p>Enjoy your code and your project, I'll try to add it to my daily puzzles.</p>
