got bored and used the Google Store to compare the Pixel 11 Pro XL to my 4-year-old Pixel 7 Pro and not only has nothing changed apart from a screen resolution downgrade and a goofy LED that can't do anything, but they've had a typo in the screen res for who knows how many years

Pixel 7 Pro specification sheet from the Google Store website listing the display resolution at 1440 x 1320.

Pixel 7 Pro display spec sheet from GSMArena indicating that the resolution is 1440 by 3120, not 1320

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

An Abundance of Katherines*
The Game Theory of Baby Naming

'Cornell University†

Abstract
In this paper, we study the highly competitive arena of baby naming. Through making several Extremely Reasonable Assumptions (namely, that parents are myopic, perfectly knowledgeable agents who pick a name based solely on its "uniqueness"), we create a model which is not only tractable and clean, but also perfectly captures the real world. We then extend our investigation with numerical experiments, as well as analysis of large language model tools. We conclude by discussing avenues for future research.

arctic eggs is a really good game youtu.be/7FkRt9cU9YU?... (video of the event)

“ive been playing arctic eggs and i just had this beautiful incredible moment. i had to fry up two tins of fish but for some reason the encounter started and the tins were clipped into each other, so i thought it was one tin of fish. something with how they were stuck together made it so that neither of them could ever cook, but i didn't realize that, so i sat there frying this unfryable fish for 3 minutes and ten seconds because i had such faith in the game. whole time i was like wow this is an incredible and bold artistic decision. i was comparing it to earthbound and the beginners guide and pippin barr's games in my mind , it was like that tweet about better call saul”

underneath js a tweet that says “Better Call Saul is so good that ! accidently paused a scene where Bob Odenkirk was sitting in a chair and I thought it was just a character study of him in silence. I watched a paused screen for 2 mins and thought it was such a great choice.”

i love seeing creative qr code designs, so i made this guide explaining what tricks you can (and can't!) do with qr codes while still keeping them very much readable have fun and make cool stuff!!

(ADVANCED) Guide to (not) fucking up qr codes
...while still making them look cool asf!
by Lyra Rebane

(1) Just have the QR code as-is, works the best!

(2) But leave some white padding, otherwise some scanners can't scan the code!

(3) Recolor the code using a light and dark color!

(4) But don't invert the colors, some scanners can't handle this.

Everything tested with: GrapheneOS, Samsung, iOS, Binary Eye

Page 1/4

(1) Depending on the error correction you can cover up to 30% of the data in the QR code. This will make the QR harder to scan, but it should still work on all scanners.

(2) But this only applies to the data and ec (green). You can also cover one of the format info parts (yellow)

(3) Counter-intuitively, it also only applies to entire codewords (bytes) at once. Therefore you should make sure to never mess up over 30% of the codewords, even by a single pixel!

(4) For example, I added a sneaky one pixel thick worm onto this QR code, which makes it unscannable!

(5) But this QR code I added that chonky snake with a pride scarf onto remains perfectly readable!

Page 2/4

(1) To scan QR codes, scanners will first find the three locators (blue) and then use the zebras (red) to create a grid over the code.

(2) This means that you can stretch, skew, or rotate your codes because the grid still stays intact!
Don't go too overboard with this, as some scanners can't handle extreme transformations.
Pretty much just make sure that straight lines can still be drawn!

(3) However, transformations that don't retain the grid - such as bends - can make the QR code unreadable. Keep this in mind when putting your QR codes on curved real world objects, such as posts and pipes.

(4) If you need to draw curved lines for a grid, the code cannot be scanned.

Note: the GrapheneOS stock Camera app might struggle with certain skews/rotations

Page 3/4

(1) QR code scanners use the grid to pinpoint the center parts of pixels, which means that the rest of the pixel does not matter!

(2) This means that you can shape your pixels however you want, provided that the middle stays unchanged.

(3) Or you can fill the rest of the QR code with a different image or even pure noise!
Note that a QR code like this could break after resizing or image compression, so use with caution!

(4) As with the other tricks, this reduces scannability, so make sure to test it with multiple devices, especially if you’re combining all of the tricks into one ultra QR code!

(5) This example still scans, but may not work properly or reliably everywhere!
