The puzzles staying up is both a blessing and a curse. The first year I did it, I fell behind and told myself I'll come back to it in the new year, but once that happened, I lost interest, and never finished.
I also like the effort that is put into the puzzle descriptions, and the ASCII art slowly getting colored and animated. Really is the extra mile that makes it special.
Just need to pair it with a cat-sized hoodie: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008071879267.html
Danny Devito is my cis male gender goal
2tb is heaps for a laptop, do you need that much?
If you drop down to gen 3, it'll still be plenty fast and slightly cheaper: https://www.umart.com.au/product/silicon-power-2tb-p34a60-gen3x4-tlc-r-w-up-to-2-200-1-600-mb-s-pcie-m-2-nvme-ssd-61704
But gen4 from the same site is not much more: https://www.umart.com.au/product/klevv-2tb-cras-c910-k02tbm2sp0-c91-pcie-4-0-nvme-m-2-2280-ssd-80368
Never heard of klevv though, could be sketchy
SSDs are getting pretty dirt cheap, you can get a 240gb for $29. Is it SATA or NVME?
I'm sure I've seen them in specialty fruit and veg stores, but I am struggling to find them as well.
Found these: https://marketplacefresh.com.au/vegetables/potatoes-pumpkins/sweet-potato-white-medium but its the opposite colour scheme :(
If I am understanding right, when you say "can't be bothered", you mean "can't be compelled/forced"?
Seems pretty reasonable, albeit slightly reliant on honesty. At least for scammers, they aren't likely to want it back, as that would deanonymise them, so if its definitely a scam, your pretty safe to keep it.
Thanks for the info :)
Do you know of any countries that have different laws? I'm curious as to how it would work?
The items could also have been purchased with a stolen credit cards.
I had a variation of on of these scams happen to me.
I purchased a pair of headphones on eBay - $50 The box that arrived, was shipped directly from Officeworks, with an invoice for $70, and a business account setup in my name, and a strange credit card. Reported it to officeworks, got to keep the headphones, but likely someone got a $70 charge on their card, and the eBay seller probably got my $50 for free.
That makes even more sense, they probably dont stand out in the crowded market place, but for a few dollars in shipping and lost product, they can get a glowing review to push them up.
Its important to realise that while the item might list for $$$$$, it probably only costs $ to manufacture.
It may be a fake item, but also remember that the cost to make jewelry is usually far less than what they are sold for, so it probably wasn't hundreds of dollars.
I'll update when I find the video, but there was a woman who gave a blackhat defcon talk about it, and she got a coffee machine, so its not without precedence to spend hundreds.

This is probably a scam:
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows, is in fact, NT/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, NT plus Windows.
I'm not gonna write more, but maybe thats what the author had in mind :D.
100% agree with you, from the headline alone I also assumed it a worthless opinion piece.
Alphonso is listening for TV sound signatures, which while definitely intrusive and privacy invading, is not the same as 24/7 listening for voice-to-text-to-ad purposes.
They would only need to listen for a second or so to determine what channel you are on, instead of all the time, so there is a massive difference in scope.
They are effectively shazaming your TV.
Still creepy and invasive, but not 24/7 recording invasive.
The myaddress+shop@gmail.com should be trivial to defeat by a spammer. Its a very simple string remove/replace to get back to a stock email address, or change it to impersonate another service, eg. myaddress+netflix@gmail.com.
It's only useful for the actual service, after that, you can't rely on it.
"I'd like to offer you a job, we're like a family here"
Family might have a fairly clear definition, but the word does get abused, and it is eating away at its meaning.
Is this not just vscode? Its definitely not eclipse, although from memory that could be served as a webapp through some fancy java to html thing.
watchtime-boosting filler content
Wonder whose responsible for the policies that created that? :D
So, rush to establish a deal, only for it to be yanked out when he gets upset on twitter? Why bother...
Lost my username somehow, anyone else had this happen?
Why is the NodeBB announcement stuck in new?
Seems like its been pinned there somehow, despite being 2 days old. Happens when logged out as well.
ESPHome Addressable RGB Emulator
Hi All. This might not be for everyone, and is very rough around the edges, but I have written a tool to more easily test how custom addressable RGB effects work.
Simply copy the code portion of the lamba into a text file, and then build and run, and it will output on your terminal how the effect will look.
It is very rough, you need a C compiler, and a RGB/TrueColor capable terminal.
If it works for you, let me know, if it doesn't, also let me know.
Rewrite of screen in Rust. Feedback and advice pls.
I dunno if this is appropriate for this community, so mods, please delete if not.
I have been writing a screen clone in rust.
https://github.com/cameroncros/PoorMansScreen/tree/better_screen (The main branch is how I currently use it, not at all screen-like, the better_screen branch is much closer to a screen replacement.)
It all currently works fine, albeit quite simple, and I suspect not following best practices. Please talk shit about my code so I can fix that :D
For my next stage of development, I would like to use some combo of vt100 and ratatui to wrap the shell in a border, or add a menu bar at the top or bottom to make it clear when the user is inside a "screen". Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about doing that? I am very unskilled at ratatui.
Visualisation Megathread
Visualizations are hard, and take time, so here is a thread to highlight the visualizations that we have found/created.
Please feel free to post your visualisations!
Final Leaderboard
Those of you running behind, keep at it, but this is the leaderboard as it stands at the end of 2024.
Happy new year!
Using LLMs to solve AOC
www.jerpint.io Performance of LLMs on Advent of code 2024
Taking a look at how LLMs performed on the latest AoC competition.
A lot lower success rate than I suspected, I guess a lot of the scoreboard times were probably legit?
Preliminary Leaderboard
Well, that was a month. Congrats everyone who has reached the end, and thanks to everyone who has contributed solutions and advice.
Sometime in January I will create a megathread for visualizations. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to hear them, otherwise, take a well earned 11 month rest until next year :D
