Good news: video games are still fucking awesome. Since it costs nothing to make one, weird and smart and cool people from all across the world are trying the craziest stuff. It's true they're purchasable through steam, mostly. But there's spectacularly creative stuff at low or no cost. For example, skimming my steam right now I see:

- Tales From Off Peak City (surrealist walking simulator with a film camera mechanic; 9.99$)

- Baba is You (sokoban puzzler; 14.99$)

- Straftat (brutalist/surrealist competitive shooter set to jungle music focusing on randomized community-map style alternative fps gamemodes; free)

- Untitled Goose Game (light puzzle coop set to dynamically scored classical piano music; 8.99$)

- Norco (prescient pre-gen-ai pixel art VN about AI, faith, and the environment; 5.24$)

- Brazillian Drug Dealer 3: I opened a Portal To Hell In The Favela Trying To Revive Mit Aia I Need to Close It (it's quake; 3.75$)


Straftat is made by two French brothers but the name is German, meaning criminal act / criminal offense / felony. It's a fun choice of name.


+1 For Untilted Goose Game, it's wholesome and brilliant, also as a solo game.


Huh. I never knew "champing" was the proper spelling [0]

This is actually one of many techniques used to identify dementia symptoms. Hopefully 85 is enough to pass.


Unfortunately the gov cannot decide who ultimately pays for the tax, just who ends up needing to put it on their balance sheet. If residential consumers demand is inelastic, relative to the commercial customers, then they will pay the tax. I have zero insight into whether domestic or commercial customers have higher demand elasticity, but it's worth being aware of this general principle [0].

wait, what fungus? I am allergic "to" exactly those two nuts but can't find mention of this online.


Hmmm, interesting. I've just searched now, and it seems I can't either so maybe I was totally mistaken, but I'm sure I remember reading this a few months ago when I was googling pistachio allergies when my tongue first felt slightly swollen (I've eaten pistachios for years before, and continue to do so, so it's obviously not a severe allergy).

Apparently, from what I read today, those two are caused by sharing a similar protein, and nothing at all to do with a fungus. It did say that both are susceptible to the aflatoxin fungus, but that apparently can contaminate lots of other things and if it's detected, the affected nuts, and sometimes even the whole batch, are destroyed. So, I guess it's not that after all, and I'm kind of at a loss as to what it was I remember reading from before.

Sorry for leading you down a dead end.

BTW what I also read today said there are other things that cross-react with cashew and pistachio, such as pink peppercorns, so if you're allergic to the nuts, you might want to check what else might affect you.


I agree. An AI agent doesn't replace an engineer, it works on behalf of an engineer. The engineer who let this thing loose is, transitively, the software engineer that deleted the prod db.


From “test_everything.c”:

// ============== TEST 6: ¿Claude AI militar?==============

int test_military_ai() { printf("\n[TEST] Claude AI Militar\n");

    // Check if military AI exists
    if (access("kernel/claude_military_grade.c", F_OK) == 0) {
        printf(" Archivo existe\n");
        
        // Check if it's real crypto or fake
        FILE* f = popen("grep -c 'XOR' kernel/claude_military_grade.c", "r");
        char buffer[128];
        fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), f);
        pclose(f);
        
        if (atoi(buffer) > 0) {
            printf(" Crypto FALSO (solo XOR)\n");
            return 0;
        } else {
            printf("? Crypto no verificable\n");
            return 0;
        }
    } else {
        printf(" NO EXISTE\n");
        return 0;
    }
}

New whole-program analysis just dropped (it's grep).


Many years ago around 2010 you could find a lot of amateur keyloggers out there, and `strings bad.exe | grep -A1 '@gmail$'` was a valid way to extract the credentials of the mail portion on a frequent basis. They'd just leave it hanging out for grabs.


Can someone explain the ip address in the hackerone profile[0]? I can't tell if 139.224.130.174 is a reference to something real or just hallucinated by the LLM to look "cool". Wikipedia says that this /8 is controlled by "MIX"[1] but my google-fu is failing me atm.
