Yup, I too am surprised this hasn't (at least by my awareness) entered the zeitgeist. At work I'm putting together an MCP server that more easily exposes our legume data for model consumption, and part of the insane value-add has

Thanks for the links, I had missed those. Also: > Our democratic systems, laws, etc. are not built to do that, they are built on the idea of intrinsic stability of our world where incremental improvements do not need cutting through what

Ironically, the origin of "cognitive dissonance" as a concept is attributable to Leon Festinger who (with others) studied a UFO cult called The Seekers in the 1950s who believed in imminent apocalypse. As other commenters have not

ArrayCast is a great podcast and I've enjoyed it quite a lot since it started. Listening to people talk about APL/K/J/BQN/etc is a great way to learn about the array languages. Maybe it's just me but hearing pe

Any L2 you'd recommend? The last time I dipped my toe in that world I only bothered with L1s like Ethereum, Solana, etc.

Interesting! Well, I'm definitely not in whatever those regions are. Presumably if a threat actor was motivated enough this would be fairly easily circumvented :] Edit: e.g. via residential proxy IPs and a bunch of cheap Android phones

Cool! I wasn't aware of nano; your point about the gas fees is really compelling, as there's a lot of stuff I've wanted to try building on Ethereum et al that I just haven't done because I can't get over the hurdle

Ah, I see, you're referring to this: https://help.hinge.co/hc/en-us/articles/10303221435539-What-... You probably don't use Hinge. The verification is not necessary at all. It's merely used to

You don't have to do that? I touched upon it in the first section of the post. All you need is a valid phone number, which you can use throwaway trial SIM cards for.

Regarding your first point, extraction of the headers could be trivially automated. Also, using Hinge's CDN (which I think is CloudFlare and/or AWS) is more viable imo, as you don't need to provide headers to GET the files. I

I want to thank you and the other user (hobofan) for pointing out the use of crypto currencies as C2s. I do bioinformatics for a living, not infosec, so that's another fun little rabbit hole for me to go on...

Annual lupin ( L. angustifolius and L. albus ) have been bred for better yields and low alkaloids. There are some existing commercial varieties. Australia is a large producer. From an economic perspective, the yields on perennial lupin ar

That's true, the existing power infra (substation, etc) is big and would cost a pretty penny to build greenfield. But the water is also right there and more than plentiful. In this case it pays to step back and look at the wider stra

At the risk of derailing the thread, your comment is a poignant reminder of Baudrillard's simulacra & simulation. Also, not satire... although written with a healthy dose of token -in-cheek :]
