How about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Nepalese_Gen_Z_protests#9...

September 9, 2025 - Protesters storm the Nepalese parliament, ransacking it and setting it on fire. Homes of leading politicians are also torched and the politicians themselves attacked.

Soon thereafter, the prime minister resigned along with other ministers and the president dissolved the parliament and scheduled a new election.

I think that counts as a successful rebellion or revolt.


We need a service that ranks AI model ranking services. Maybe powered by AI instead of humans?

Just look at Open(ugh)Router. That's a good, though not fully accurate, view of where dollars are going.

It'd be nice if it were actually open and we could inspect all the statistics.


In case you need a lot more than two boolean values some day.


When you know you're going to be compressing files of particular structure, it's often very beneficial to tweak compression algorithm parameters. In one case when dealing with CSV data, I was able to find a LZMA2 compression level, dictionary size and compression mode that yielded a massive speedup, uses 1/100th the memory and surprisingly even yields better compression ratios, probably from the smaller dictionary size. That's in comparison to the library's default settings.


Could you please provide more details, perhaps give an example?

Have you ever been to such websites as Instagram or TikTok?


Are you new? Nobody actually reads the articles.


False. I almost never upvote an article without reading it, and half of those upvotes are because I already read something similar recently that gave me the same information.


I'll submit in the second case (already read something similar) that, properly speaking, we should read both, and upvote (or submit, if not already here) the better of the articles.

Not that, you know, I often take the time to do that, either - but it would improve the site and the discussions if we all did.


Have an LLM transcribe what is happening in the game into a few sentences per frame, transfer the text over network and have another LLM reconstruct the frame from the text. It won't be fast, it's going to be lossy, but compression ratio is insane and it's got all the right buzzwords.


Frame 1:

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

Frame 2:

A few blades of grass sway gently in the breeze. The camera begins to drift slightly, as if under player control — a faint ambient sound begins: wind and birds.


Ah, this explains why there are clowns under the bed and creepy children staring at me from the forest.

Send the descriptions via the blockchain so there's an immutable record


Maybe even one day we reach point where the game can run locally on the end users' machine.


You've got my attention


Because I use fresh incognito mode for each browsing session, I have to click through those consent popups on every website I visit. Quite frustrating to say the least.


You can use Consentomatic to have it automatically handled. It's from Aarhus University, open source.

uBlock's cookie filters might be even more effective if you don't care to fine tune.


Found this post on 4chan's technology board:

What actually happened was two-folded:

Step 1: CSAgent.sys is a certified durgasoft kernel driver that parses clownstrike virus definition files

Step 2: Clownstrike never fixed cases for malformed virus definition files that could trigger an invalid memory access in CSAgent.sys

Step 3: Clownstrike ships the buggy CSAgent.sys and it works for months without problems on customer computers with good virus definition files

Step 4: For some reason the webserver serving virus definition files to all endpoints started serving malformed virus definition files, sometimes they were all blank or filled with random bytes

Step 5: All clownstrike updaters now download malformed LE NEXT GEN APT PROTECTION CLOUD AI LIVE UPDATES into C:\Windows\System32\drivers\clownstrike

Step 6: CSAgent.sys reloads virus definition files

Step 7: CSAgent.sys parses them and crashes with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (in kernel that means memory at an oopsie address was accessed)

Step 8: Computer BSOD and reboots

Step 9: CSAgent.sys loads virus definition files

Step 10: Goto Step 7

The kernel driver was a ticking timebomb just waiting for a bug in the CDN. I think it was some funny caching bug with le cloud http loadbalancer. Users reported that their C-00000291-00000000-00000032.sys contained random shit and actual real files that were a completely different part of the software, like US localization files.

You can see it in the diff between CSAgent.sys_18511.sys and CSAgent.sys_18513.sys, they changed size checks and increased sizes of buffers so that future malformed virus definition files wouldnt crash.


> For some reason the webserver serving virus definition files to all endpoints started serving malformed virus definition files, sometimes they were all blank or filled with random bytes

That sounds like some virus protection on the server was stopping the reads from disk, and instead of throwing an error it was providing 0's for the output data instead.

It'll be funny if there's actually some antivirus package that caused it. ;)


Step 4. If this has occurred so many times, it is a hacker attack, targeting the poorly written Kernel driver. (But hey, right now at this election moment, with Trump's beloved company. It could be a show of strength)


For reference, this is what kickback looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sRrC2Jpp4

The workpiece goes flying and the guy almost loses a finger.


This guy is standing in the correct place (clearly experienced) but is pushing with the wrong apparatus and technique.
