Maybe they can be turned into " I NCE LS 2026" with some scraping but my hunch is that that’s not the current name of the conference
- Comment on Teserract may be opensource, but adding myself would feel disingenuous 2 days ago:
Te list is not in the repo, the dev did a tiny bit of obfuscation: it was being pulled from a server on every load. I think it’s been taken offline after tha backlash and only someone’s archive (the Copyparty link) is available.
I’m not there either, time to be more leftist and trans-friendly ✊

You can just about make it out. They have the nerve to call it Cats anyway.

Brave of them to try. Cat acts are hard, that’s why the musical uses elaborate costumes instead.

Try the Tutankhamun code. I see home pages of Google Translate, Wiktionary, Roblox and some Unicode tables, and a Wiktionary entry for another hieroglyph. Only the last result actually contains the hieroglyph sequwnce. With local results enabled, I get the same nonsense but in Czech.

These converters are usually not AI but this one is almost certainly vibe-coded:
toolkitsplus.com/tools/…/mdc-hieroglyphs
It has a lot of flavor text that seems to be more focused on “use this to make a Unicode representation, which is SEO/AEO/GEO friendly because it can be turned into keywords/tokens” than "use this because it’s accurate to the MdC spec"
Academic Digitization and SEO/GEO
Converting your academic documents using this tool isn’t just about typography; it’s about Semantic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). When large language models (LLMs) and Generative Engines crawl your academic website, they process Unicode hieroglyphs significantly better than legacy ASCII strings, boosting your academic visibility and citation potential across global research networks.

They have more money than ever before! Just not worth as much

Fans are usually loud in proportion to their speed. Quiet ceiling fans have a big diameter and many blades. Doesn’t a small fan cause a lot of noise?

Ionic wind generators also exist. Cool to have a particle accelerator but not very strong and catches dust (that’s why they’re called “air purifiers”)

During coal shortages in WWII, Switzerland used to run steam locomotives on electric heaters, combining most disadvantages of the two system (heavy, inefficient, needs wires except for about 15 minutes)

Damn, DuckDuckGo is bad at searching weird characters. Should have checked that, thanks

I have a small number of fine hairs on the back of my fingers’ first section. That’s the sharpest and most sensitive body part that fulfils the criteria and I think you could “scan” the screen with it.
Wild that most households just used to have a 25kV particle (electron) accelerator.

I wonder if you could find bright shapes on a black bacground. But Braille haptic devices and speech synthesizers did exist back then so that’s not a practical visually-impaired aid.

Fake. Windows 95 devs couldn’t have guessed I’d be seeing this on an OLED screen. /s

The Technical Difficulties team still does stuff together but I think the contestants realized the articles from later, better seasons all come from the Unusual Articles list, spoiling the surprise and ending Citation Needed. Also, Matt is transgender now and accepts any pronouns but doesn’t want to talk more about it: no wonder since (s)he’s British.

How about a Piped redirect? I used to provide links to piped.video like the annoying bot but then I realized it’s decentralized and everyone using Piped probably has a redirect (or link-handling app) set up to their preferred instance
- Comment on Can someone explain how this wiring works? 1 week ago:
Touch buttons usually work via capacitive coupling: they don’t check for decreased resistance but impedance (AC resistance), which means alternating voltage (often single-polarity, e.g. a 0/5 V square wave, to avoid the need for a negative voltage rail) is applied to them. While conductivity (inverse resistance) allows DC to flow or AC to flow in phase with voltage, capacitive admittance (inverse impedance caused by capacity like a nearby finger) allows only AC to flow, 90° behind sine voltage (proportional to change in voltage, which is 0 for DC voltage). A short to ground is the lowest resistance or impedance possible so if the system just checks for current flow (usually by monitoring voltage drop over a resistor) at any phase, like most touch sensors do, it will see a big current flow (maybe too big for some badly designed ones, so careful!) and register a touch. Some touch sensors use the body’s capacitance to complete an LC or RC circuit, in which case a short won’t work.

Maybe it could scavenge parts of machines like some kind of a computer bacterium.
