This is really, really well done. I’m very impressed by all the features implemented here and I wish I could look over the source. I wonder how it is done.


This is the content I come here for.



Weird follow up without apologizing for smearing LCSC with no evidence whatsoever. Imagine someone writing a blog post like

"LLMs produce AI slop on regular basis. This piece of code I found somewhere on the web sure is AI slop, I never saw any code by James Bowman but _I very much think these are made with the_ AI slop generators _or similar_". And the follow up is "Remember James Bowman? _I’m still curious about_ his code. I might look at it in something or other at some undetermined point in the future to see how it performs." Does that sound even remotely ok?

Its not even guilt by association. Its guilt by gut feeling? prejudice?



Can someone give more info on the relevance of this particular code?


This is an implementation of an interpreter from his dissertation. https://www.cs.unc.edu/xcms/wpfiles/dissertations/dybvig.pdf


They could at least fall back to "context sensitive" ads like you suggest.

Also, don't try to make me feel guilty for having an "ad blocker". I don't specifically block ads, instead I have a "tracking me without my consent blocker".


Very nice article. I don’t think I was aware of these experiments, but maybe I’ve forgotten?

Apologies if I just missed this, but is there a link to Maxwell’s original findings?


Thank you!

Maxwell's "color wheel" experiment (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-CAVENDISH-P-02000/1) is more commonly known, which preceded this experiment I wrote about. (Which by the way is also a very clever experiment which blends color by spinning a wheel with different ratios of primary colors).

Here's a link to Maxwell's original paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstl.1860.000...

You can see some diagrams of his original apparatus that I worked off of in the last two pages!


Wish it worked on mobile and used the xyz accelerator...


It definitely works on mobile, provided the GPU of the mobile supports the capabilities used to render the game. I've thought of the accelerator controls but unfortunately they don't work too well as the levels become too complex and require precision movement controls.



and only 1 link still works. 19 years is a long time to the internet.



Thats awesome.

See my post below -- I have been tracking Eschelon since the early 90s...

Guess what NSA router backdoors have become (mobile phones with socialifelog media apps on them)

And like @tptacek said

>>If it was the NSA, their van wouldn't look so goofy that people took one look at the photo and assumed it had to be an NSA van, which is what happened here. This is a bad movie plot trope: the bad guys can't simultaneously be omniscient and so dumb they're trivially outed like this, just like the real supervillain isn't going to monologue while you free yourself from the chains lowering you into the shark tank.

Love that but, I do think that both is true...

:-) thank you for that. DOPE
