I really appreciate that despite being an obvious domain expert, he’s starting with the simple stuff and not jumping straight into crazy obscure parts of the x86 instruction set

This also seems like an easy way for VPN providers to differentiate themselves with their apps. The fact that it hasn’t happened makes me think that it’s impossible with unrooted iOS

It's tricky to do for large public websites, because routing happens at the IP level while users want to input a domain name.

That domain could constantly resolve to different IPs, requiring updates to the routing rules, and those IPs could be shared with many other domain names that the user didn't list (for example Cloudflare IPs). So the mapping isn't clean and you're likely to miss some IPs some of the time or incorrectly intercept some traffic that the user didn't want to route through the VPN.

A proxy would not have this problem, it gets to inspect the request and hostname and then decide how to reach that host.

VPN app can still solve it by locally resolving configured domain into special local IP, which get VPNed into real IP on their side. You'll need to encode original DNS name into protocol somehow, so that remote side knows which real IP to access, but it is certainly doable.

I’m also on Mullvad, keep trying. It took me like 20 servers but I did find one.

Would you mind sharing which server please?

For the first one, the compiler should not allow the mutable list to be assigned to a more broadly typed mutable list. This is a compile error in kotlin, for example

    val items: MutableList<Int> = mutableListOf(3)
    val brokenItems: MutableList<Any> = items

If you're keeping all the generated clocks in a database, I'd love to see a Facemash style spin-off website where users pick the best clock between two options, with a leaderboard. I want to know what the best clock Qwen ever made was!

We might be on to creating a new crowd-ranked LLM benchmark here.

Using it to time bicycle race ?

Yes! Please do this

Not the best, but the most amusing.

Much less than, 1 frame is 16ms

> Once your YouTube video collection grows, it becomes hard to search and find a specific video. That's where Tube Archivist comes in: By indexing your video collection with metadata from YouTube, you can organize, search and enjoy your archived YouTube videos without hassle offline through a convenient web interface.

If you don't want the indexing and the pretty frontend that's fine, but there's a reason software like Plex is popular.

Anecdata here, but I played Zelda Ocarina of Time on CRT when I was a child, and have since replayed it many times via emulator. The game never looked quite as good as I remembered it, but of course I chalked it up to the fact that graphics have improved by several orders of magnitude since then.

Then a few years ago I was throwing out my parent's old CRT and decided to plug in the N64 one last time. Holy crap was it like night and day. It looked exactly as I remembered it, so much more mysterious and properly blended than it does on an LCD screen.

I don't see why the same wouldn't apply to films, sometimes our memories aren't false.

My mother fell for exactly this. Downloaded a ChatGPT clone and paid for it. She was quite upset with herself when I had to tell her.

Until now I blamed Google, but now it seems much more likely that it was Apple’s fault.

Also GitHub is one of the very few western websites with a comment section that isn’t blocked in China.
