Since 2020, according to American NIST, an inch is exactly 25.4 mm. No foot shenanigans anymore. Thus, in the US of A and a lot of other countries, an inch is just a weird metric unit.

Imperial system is a lie.

This works by getting the info from the notifications list so it will not work for old upvotes which aren’t in the notif list anymore.

Forgot to also add this for rants. Will add later.

Complete list of changes:

* notifications from all tabs load at once
* info button about who upvoted my comment
* comments counter for own rants
* no reply button for own comments
* ignore users locally (added in build 42)

I'm here for the climate discussions. Much climate lately. Very much.

There are at least 25 million spiders for every human. That's a lot, maybe the real cause for climate change? They look mean, so..

Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Currently enjoying a month-long break from work, almost halfway through it. Realizing that I’m at an age where I need to recover from going to a museum, which is wild. But I’m taking the time to visit museums during my PTO instead of just sitting at home binge watching shows like normal.

Unrelated, I tried to crochet a Chucky doll and it turned out.. interesting.

I'm looking for more semiprimes to test my code on, regardless of the bit length, up to a reasonable number of 2048 bits because the code is unoptimized.

For those wanting to see for themselves if its more failed efforts, heres what you can do to help:

1. post a semiprime
2. optionally post a hash of one of the factors to confirm it.
3. I'll respond within the hour with a set of numbers that contain the first three digits of p and the first three digits of q.
4. After I post my answer, you post the correct answer so others can confirm it is working.

How this works:
All factors of semiprimes can be characterized by a partial factorization of n digits.
If you have a pair of primes like q=79926184211, and p=15106381891, the k=3 pair would be [151, 799]

The set of all digits of this kind is 810,000 pairs.

My answers can be no larger than 2000 pairs, and are guaranteed to contain the partial factorization regardless of the bit length of n.

I especially encourage you to participate if you never thought for a second that the RSA research I've been doing on and off for a few years was ever real.

But those who enjoyed it and thought there might be something to it, if you want to come have fun, or poke fun, I encourage you to post some numbers too!

Semiprimes only.
Keys can be any size up to 2048 bits.
But I won't take any keys under 24 bits, and none over 2048.
You should be able to prove after the fact you know p and q, not only so everyone can confirm the results for themselves, but also because I don't want anyone getting cheeky and posting say the public key to a bank or google or something.

Good luck, lets see if you got a number I can't crack.

@Lensflare, your bots are doing pretty good. I will see a spam, then I refresh and its gone. Definitely makes this place more tolerable. Are your bots keeping up? Any fallen warriors?

I have nobody to share this so I will inflict myself on you guys.

Maybe this is what you get when you quit your job

Started a new job a month ago and my ex-colleague asked yesterday if we are recruiting. I wonder how it is going at my old job 😅

@wojtek322 made a nice list of 25 questions about the EU chat control law. A very terrible law. One we can't ignore.

Those questions, I've ran them trough Gemini and got them answered. Then, I generated this nice page: https://static.molodetz.nl/chat-con... covering the law.
It's nice informative page, worth a read.

For people who don't know yet - with Gemini you can do a deep research, and at the end of it, you can generate a site like this / a quiz / graphs. It's very nice. What a time to be alive, sadly the EU wants to end that great time.

Edit: i did not even chose the dramatic title. Imagine.

My board game based on mandavoshka is almost done and if you like to test it via Testflight, please do.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/...

I know, a board game isn’t exactly very exciting but I wanted to do this for ages.

It‘s meant to be played on a tablet with up to four players sitting around the device.
So the controls are rotated to the side of the current player.

You can also select the computer to play for a player, but it doesn’t play very well.

The app icon and the background images are generated by chatgpt because I‘m shit at designing.
It was a real pain in the butt to make chatgpt generate repeatable (tiling) textures.

The app will be free but I added in app purchase to unlock the color picker for each player. It will be the cheapest price of 0.29 €.
I‘m doing it to get experience with iap, not to make money.
You can test the iap for free during the Testflight phase.

I actually think that auto-completing pull requests with any merge strategy other than fast-forward is completely insane. WTF do you mean the final version of the code is produced with no humans present?
