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.

As far as I know, the problem is that Lenovo doesn't make the SOCs that actually implement the security features GrapheneOS requires; Qualcomm does (assuming this phone uses a Snapdragon chip - I didn't check). And Qualcomm only puts these security features into the most powerful SOCs, which are themselves only appropriate for flagship phones.

I hope that some day more budget SOCs will get these security features too so that more people can reap the benefits, and I hope Graphene is pushing for this too, but I don't think we'll see it any time soon.

That being said, I'm just happy Graphene has any partnership at all. One step at a time; once these phones are done they can focus on expanding their offerings more.

Despite the fact that you clearly mentioned music in your title, it took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize you weren't claiming that scorpions were indigenous to Germany

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

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.

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

It's a common misconception, but the candy in the image is the only candy that's actually called an M&M. The regular ones you usually see in the bag are actually just called M's, since they're only one piece of candy each as opposed to the two pieces in the image.

Sounds like a plug in hybrid would be right up your alley. Many of the benefits of an electric vehicle (regen braking and the ability to charge at home, foremost) while still being able to fill up instantly using gas. Unfortunately you lose out on the basically-no-maintenance-required part of a pure EV, but frequent road trips are basically the ideal use case for a PHEV.

I know nothing about this topic, and I'm just here to learn - you said that blockchain isn't the best solution with regard to decentralizing currency, but it is an option. What other options exist?

I don't understand this image, so due to the art style I'm going to choose to pretend it's a reference to Pizza Tower. Thank you for creating Pizza Tower content!

Rust is a programming language which was designed to be memory safe without any of the overhead caused by traditional memory safety techniques employed by existing languages (namely, garbage collection and reference counting). It does this by shifting the memory management from happening at runtime to happening at compile time. The compiler forces the programmer to follow certain rules to ensure that their program can be proven to be free of errors such as use-after-frees and double-frees. Because of this design philosophy, Rust is a good fit as a replacement for C, because it can do everything that C can while ensuring the programmer doesn't make any mistakes with regard to memory management.

Legit question, how many bananas would Bananas Georg need to eat in his sleep per night to make that fact true, assuming he eats an equal number of bananas per night and all other people on the planet eat exactly 0 bananas in their sleep?

I appreciate the link/image, but I would personally prefer to not use an AI generated model. Thanks though!

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.

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

Windows-Shift-S is the default keyboard shortcut, not sure if it works on fullscreen games though
