Love this! Small bug but when changing files, it doesn't reset to position 0 in the file (at least on Firefox on Win11).


I love your UDP packet flow tool, kudos for making that! I've always wondered how packets move through an OS. Also interesting how many gotos I see all over the place, even though everyone says "goto is the devil". Then again maybe this code was written long before that "proverb" came into existence.


Since you mentioned you love that, I will mention this netfilter packet flowchart by Jan Engelhardt [1]

Thanks! I suggest to have a look at a 'live' debugger session video here: https://github.com/dmkskd/linux-kernel-debugging-on-mac?tab=... given your interest

if you have an ARM64 mac (sorry for only supporting this OS at the moment) it should be easy to set this up on your end


If they actually cared, they would just block VPNs. Valve does this when you try to create an account.


If we're talking about state funding, that's not a problem. You just send a national to live in a residential area and then a team can proxy through that connection.


Commercial VPNs are relatively easy to block, because they use known IP ranges that companies can blacklist. But it's trivial to set up a private VPN with unique IPs such that VPN blocking becomes much less straightforward and much more resource intensive, for example by using traffic pattern analysis or behavioral fingerprinting.


I am currently adding passthrough mode to my game (DodgeALL) to spawn portals on your walls letting you dodge things coming out of the walls. Planned release within the next month (in time to enter in the Meta VR competition). A friend of mine made a game (Loop One: Done) that is Factorio-lite which lets you build infinite factories in your flat, which is loads of fun.


That's not quite true - when did you get your free Quest 1? Only January of this year did Meta officially stop allowing devs to support those devices which IMO is not nice, but probably necessary to put resources towards newer devices since it was extremely outdated and very hard to keep supporting. The Quest 1 launched in May 2019, so it got almost 6 years of updates and if you have one, you can still install older versions of existing apps that choose to support it (which admittedly is very rare). I shut off support for my game back in 2024 when they recommended it, since the device is less than half as powerful as the Quest 2, very few users still had one, and the Q1 was a hard target to hit performance-wise vs newer devices. If you spend $50 to get a Quest 2 you'll get a couple years of updates or even better, spend $299 to get a 3S which is an amazing piece of kit and will probably be supported for at least 5 more years since it just came out.


I've read from several supposed AI prompt-masters that this actually reduces output quality. I can't speak to the validity of these claims though.


Forcing shorter answers will definitely reduce their quality. Every token an LLM generates is like a little bit of extra thinking time. Sometimes it needs to work up to an answer. If you end a response too quickly, such as by demanding one-word answers, it's much more likely to produce hallucinations.


Is this proven?


I know Andrej Karpathy mentions it in his youtube series so there's a good chance of it being true.


It's certainly true anecdotally. I've seen it personally plenty of times and I've seen it reported plenty of times.


This is how they do it on the Mars Trilogy after setting up a colony on Mars. Of course the trilogy is entirely fictional, but the idea sounds like it couldn't be worse than the current situation, where those with narcissistic/psycho/sociopath tendencies winning elections i.e. those who seek power and/or those who have proficient oration abilities, not necessarily those who are most capable.


Well to be fair, anything is better than the CLI (unless you are a masochist ;)


SourceTree also isn't too shabby, though the interface is slightly different than the Windows version (for whatever reason).


I don't see how you made that leap. It was directly in reference to your reply:

> I was on an automotive-focused instance. I did see a lot of that.

They were more or less just rewriting what you wrote.


> They were more or less just rewriting what you wrote.

The literal opposite of what I wrote, actually, because "that" refers to "celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk", an activity not much associated with fans of Charlie Kirk.


Thanks for the clarification.

TIL there's many Charlie Kirk haters amongst fans of cars?


Ouch, yeah, thanks for the explanation. Total reading comprehension failure on my part.
