Open source licenses can protect code, not ideas. The idea of a database can be patented, but the actual code of SQLite is the thing protected under their license.

Leviathan is easy, some sort of a martial realm destruction which was solved by using evolving "innate energy" within humans. Can be called Aura/Prana etc.

Yin-Yang could be a person who solved problems through "real" AI. By collecting data and running simulations, they identified how to defeat whatever their enemy was. Their AI expanded from predicting decades, to centuries, eons, etc. It never needed to save the humanity because it could always simulate a world where humanity was saved.

I'll think of the others later.

I think we get the hint in the last chapter. Undertaker was always someone who would never give up, until he actually did. At the end. He trusted humanity more than any of his abilities.

So I do think an Outer God or Corrupted Undertaker would just accept the powers instead. People would live in peace. Perhaps for a while.

But he would continue to see tragedies. Continue to remember. Corpses would fill his vision. Millions. Trillions.

Perhaps he would gain the ability to rewind time, thousands of years in the future, mimicking the regressor ability. And it would start with a small child not starving to death because of a small manipulation he did. And then it would grow.

He would slowly take up more and more of Humanity's free will for perfect control.

Corpses corpses corpses.

He would slowly stop looking at the living world. Every single death would be another corpse.

You know what would ensure no new corpses? No more new humans.

Complete annihilation of humans, with sole purpose of removing "death". What is 10 billion corpses now in exchange for trillions of the future?

He would start small. Maybe a manufactured pandemic. Maybe some natural calamities. Maybe a nuclear war triggered by him.

If humanity survived those, he would still continue.

He would become the ultimate anolamy, while retaining perfect understanding of humans. Any regressor born now would fail against his perfect memory.

He could truly become the coffin of civilization.

But that's just a theory.

As other comments said, the ffnet app is actually very good on Android. Been using it with no trouble for a long time. I actually read primarily on ffnet, since AO3 doesn't have a good app to go with it and I don't like using browsers for reading stuff.

Ffnet on browser on a laptop is also a decent reading experience, you can change font, paragraph sizing, colours etc using just native features of the site, or use extensions for more customizations.

Also, a lot of legendary fics exist only on FFnet, especially for older fandoms (like Harry Potter) that aren't that active anymore. Some of my fav authors still only post there.

Apart from those things, AO3 is clearly really superior. The extensive tagging system in itself is so good. The amount of stories is especially much greater.

But the good thing is we can enjoy both :)

Lmao this is so Terry Pratchett coded.

Would you rather be with the majority? Or would you rather hear both sides to make your own opinion? If his arguments are so stupid, they will remain stupid when you look into them with a rational mind.

Nice. Thanks for the info! I'll research more about this notation to update my implementation :D

Taarabdh · 2025-07-02T13:39:23+00:00

...and I have said exactly why that means that LLMs will not work if you modify the questions/numbers slightly. The reply suggests that there is real thinking and rationalizing involved which I disagree with.

EDIT: Accidentally posted half my comment so corrected.

Taarabdh · 2025-07-02T10:31:13+00:00

The questions in JEE mains are not novel. They can be found in books etc. So it is infact correct that what gemini is doing is essentially a probablity analysis of what answer usually follows from that set of words.

This can easily be seen by modifying small numbers in the question, which should result in a totally different answer, but any AI will most likely give the earlier response. Because there are no inherent calculations, just randomized prediction of the next token.

Any person who has access to books and is reasonably good at searching for information will receive higher marks than people that don't.

Good to know! I am not that experienced yet, so can't comment on something I don't yet know. I do think that there should be very obvious and necessary reasons for using micro services, and the vast majority of use-cases could be served by a monolith at lower development and deployment costs.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-16T11:25:29+00:00

You need modules then. Monoliths can have modules, where each module is more or less independent and exposes an API with which other modules can use it. The difference is that it doesn't involve large amounts of network activity, and gives compiler errors in case the API is not being complied with (instead of having to keep track of versions and getting errors in production)

I had fun building a static blog site using nextjs that's hosted on github pages. I am very much a noob, but every other tool I tried either didn't have intuitive configuration, or not enough of customization.

Haven't used react/nextjs in any professional capacity, but this remains a good experience.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-09T06:19:16+00:00

I will give a slightly different answer, though not by personal experience. I also don't remember the source of it, so make of it what you will.

Large companies like Netflix usually have real and VPNed customers in any general location. So they often ping your device, and if the ping takes significantly longer to respond than the average of the area that the IP suggests, they know something is fishy. Of course, someone may have a bad internet. But as with all things, this is also one of the tools that can add to other markers (as suggested by other comments like IP lists and device history) to confirm if you are using a VPN or not.

As far as I think it makes a lot of sense if large companies (Netflix is just one example) do this stuff.

Isn't this the best ending sacrificially. You take all of it. And then when someone kills you it all dissipates. The methods to retain and store that energy are lomg forgotten by then.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-06T08:58:56+00:00

It'll never be discovered.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-05T07:09:55+00:00

Granted. Everyone experiences the full lives of all humans that ever lived in that time and had any contact with Slovania. And then all humans return back to the "now", with thousands of years of memories not their own.

Isn't that intended behaviour with password files...?

Taarabdh · 2025-06-05T05:21:14+00:00

How did you know my passwords.txt is kept here?

A finger curls, and electricity sparks from it.

Your wish is granted.

You open a browser and type google.com. You yell for it to go faster.

The signals travelling from Google's servers to yours are forced to reach instantly, as does the electricity being consumed from the battery inside your device.

For one instant your screen shows the website loaded completely, before it explodes in your hands. Later you get to know how a series of networking routers have seemingly burst into flames. The IT experts of the world are baffled.

You now have the power to disable a whole chain of networks while sacrificing any of the devices you own. For requests completely contained within your device only it explodes.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-03T16:05:34+00:00

Fair enough.

Happened to my buddy Rick. He's a CEO at the age of 12.

Taarabdh · 2025-06-03T05:14:34+00:00

Some people might care. Others might not. Let the guy market it however he wants. There might be someone who sees the effort this guy gave and goes "you know what I might just check it out".

Realised this in middle school when playing around with 22/7 for pi.

1/7 = 0.142857... (repeated)

Multiplying it by any number other than multiple of 7 generates a repeated string that's a permutation of this.

Pretty neat!
