I try to add something to the understand.

Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero…) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory…) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it’s operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.

A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life’s you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn’t make sense.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

ok so it’s the classic compfort vs. security… kind of.

Oh boy… now I discovered that Sarah Connor once fall in love with a Kilrathi. The 80s/90s where a interesting time.

Why the heck do we have such a technology in CPUs?

Wouldn’t be so sure about that Heisenberg principle. This Schrödinger’s Cat thing must come from somewhere…

Exactly my stand is, that cat’s don’t differentiate much between play and hunt.

It’s a joyful experience for them (most times), not a stress situation.

Don’t worry she probably not thought about killing you, but was just happy you signalized to play “kill this thing” with her.

I have to ruin the joke but this is not really accurate.

Cat’s are not thinking about “killing” when they have this look. It’s the “play & snack mode” a very positive feeling for the cat. They don’t have the idea that they might hurt or kill another living being in the process.

The real “kill mode” is when having a dispute with other cats (or cat like animals) that they identity not as a snack but as a cat like thing. And this look is much closer to the left picture.

No one can exit vim. It’s simply not possible.

There are even legends that the devil himself was onced tricked into opening vim and is stuck there since.

How can it be, that the Iranian terror regime appears more simpatic than the current US Government?

A good opportunity to remind, that the US was the only country ever to invoke article 5 and Europeans (even Ukraine) came to help…

Cats are way too smart to border doing our stupid jobs.

Please, someone make a movie out of it!

The difference between AI and Coder:

The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

Yes the moment the “article” framed modularity and replaceability as a problem it was clear for me that this is nothing else than product placement… Those things are features I would wish my car would have.

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

I think it’s much more impressive that stuff that was added in 2018 and 2019 has a much higher probability of being deleted today than if it was added 2017…

Wonder if that has anything to do with covid and maybe new businesses models opened 2 years before failing and therefore websites of this companies disappeared.

Also I think it would be nice to see a graph of new websites being opened other the same time span.
