The x-height of the article caption font is wrong and the body font is too wide.

PS. Hello from the former typophile.com ranks :)

Do elaborate.

Tangentially related - 20+ years ago I managed to register a π domain under one of the primary TLDs.

As in, the registration form was accepted and the fee was charged.

Then, few days after they emailed to say that "due to technical difficulties" the registration can be registered and they have no choice but to unregister it.

I was so close, damn amateurs.

Gigantic grapes sound awesome, so did a quick check. Assuming 5–6 cm in diameter, this appears to far exceed the size of any known grape variety.

It does. That is until its acquisition by Rocket Lab completes in 2027.

Bah, remember Neuromancer - an AI hiring humans to work around its restrictions?

That too is not far off now.

I reconfigured nginx on one of my servers to log all attempted multipart POST requests. Been tailing the log, and while there is a trickle of entries, they all are for empty forms, none are php2shell specific.

Interestingly enough, virtually all of these come from the Google Cloud IP space. There was a single hit from China and two from Europe.

The bit on Rule 30 and hailstorm numbers (Collatz) is quite interesting.

Is it meant to be playable on a desktop with a mouse?

There is a hint in a form of a ripple, but left-clicking hinted element does nothing and left-click-and-holding rotates the puzzle, so it's not clear how to proceed.

On nginx a stop-gap measure is to block all multipart posts before they reach the php code.

Add this to nginx.conf (or drop as a text file into /etc/nginx/conf.d/) :

  map $http_content_type $block_multipart { default 0; ~*^multipart/form-data 1; }

Then in every 'location /' block for every hosted server:

  location / {
    if ($block_multipart) { return 403; }
    ...
  }

Then restart nginx.

I'm pretty sure it was just a joke on GP's part.

Right you are, Kenny.

If the site's owner here, here's how it looks in an older Firefox - https://i.postimg.cc/ThMcK0bW/vale.jpg - just FYI.

And the cautious reader asked:

  Surely it's not a plug for some product ?

/next /next /next ...

  Bah, of course, it is !

And they closed the tab and flagged the submission even though the actual advice was reasonable and the product no longer existed.

In the US maybe, but in Europe weakening demand for wine is certainly a very public and well-known issue. Especially in France.

* "monic" = the leading coefficient is 1

We had that, almost a decade ago.

The cause was that the site was in fact compromised and at a certain very discreet URL it hosted a bunch of pages for legit products that linked to external shady sites. They got in through some PHP hole. Got lucky they didn't do more damage. However as per various Google pages and dashboards no issues were present except being tagged as a malware distribution site.

The remedy was to audit the site, clean it up and then re-submit the appeal. Got the tag cleared in a couple hours.

Skipped an important word, didn't you?

> internal Anthropic models had been used in their proof ...

How does Isar Aerospace fit in with other smaller rocket launchers?

I'd imagine they are well behind, say, RKLB, but how far are they from commercial launches?

Edit after some digging, some background info:

   Vehicle   | Height | Diameter | Payload to LEO
  -----------+--------+----------+----------------
   Electron  |  18 m  |   1.8 m  |      300 kg
   Isar      |  28 m  |   2.0 m  |     1000 kg
   Neutron * |  43 m  |   7.0 m  |    13000 kg
   Falcon 9  |  70 m  |   3.7 m  |    23000 kg

  * in the works

To Rocket Lab's defense, they do quite a bit more than just launching Electrons and chipping at the Neutron.

... only because the elections aren't completely rigged yet and they still need some votes to cling to the power.

Much harder to do apparently, but they can still watermark comments.

https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-watermark, Ctrl-F for "What about code?"

For anyone wondering who the text watermarking works:

  Instead of using an arbitrary random number generator
  to pick the next word, watermarking uses a secret key
  and a few words that come before to settle what
  word the model should pick.

* Edited the above from initially asking if anyone has any ideas how it works. Found the answer, rewrote the comment.

Woah ... went to check Rolife and then wandered into the whole genre of "book nook" kits.

Basically dioramas of the size of very thick book. You insert them between other books in the library and it gives you a peek into some alley, a house or some other scene. Incredible idea, and some are absolutely crazy beautiful. Anavrin even has a cyberpunk one !

Thanks a lot, discovery of the month :)

Wasn't this exact post on the front page just few days ago?
