My friends hated the word "moist". I then thought of a way to make my friends hate my username more than they already would have.

Surprisingly, I still have friends.

I think you've just invented Jsonnet, but with C integration.

Fair enough, thanks for responding

Out of curiosity, why does everyone always go for Ubuntu in posts like this? I've always hated that distro; all my machines run Fedora instead. IMO Fedora with KDE is way better than Ubuntu with Gnome in terms of usability for people switching over from Windows, but maybe I'm just biased since I'm already super familiar with Linux

If you feel like learning a third shell, I find that Nushell is even easier to use than PowerShell.

open stuff.json | each { get fieldName } | where { str starts-with "asdf" } | each { $in | str upcase }

This gets all the objects in the given json file, then grabs the value of the field named "fieldName", then filters all those values to find the ones that start with and, converts those to uppercase, and prints them to the screen as a nicely formatted list

I didn't know that. I had assumed people using screen readers would use the same versions of websites as everyone else.

Off to do some research, to make my own sites more accessible for the blind!

As I understand, Anubis doesn't make the user do anything. Instead, it runs some JavaScript in the client's browser that does the calculations, and then sends the result back to the server. In order for an LLM to get through Anubis, the LLM would need to be running a real JavaScript engine (since the requested calculation is too complicated for an LLM to do natively), and that would be prohibitively expensive for bot farms at any real scale. Since all real people accessing the site will be doing so through a browser, which has JavaScript built in, and most bots will just download the website and send the source code right into the LLM without being able to execute it, real people will be able to get through Anubis while bots won't. The total amount of extra energy consumed by adding Anubis isn't actually that high since bot farms aren't doing the extra work.

Take that all with a grain of salt; that info is based on a blog post which I read like 6 months ago, and I may be remembering incorrectly.

Does anyone know the original source? I remember watching a ton of videos like 5 years ago with the same art style and the same jokey, animals-doing-funny-stuff kind of content, and I'm pretty sure this video came from that same author. I'd like to rewatch them if I can

Immovable Rod: when activated, it becomes fixed in its position in space, ignoring the motion of the planet. The moment it's activated, it flies off into the sky or through the earth depending on the time of day, destroying everything in its path.

Potentially extremely useful with a lot of planning, once.
