September 9, 2025 - Protesters storm the Nepalese parliament, ransacking it and setting it on fire. Homes of leading politicians are also torched and the politicians themselves attacked.
Soon thereafter, the prime minister resigned along with other ministers and the president dissolved the parliament and scheduled a new election.
I think that counts as a successful rebellion or revolt.
When you know you're going to be compressing files of particular structure, it's often very beneficial to tweak compression algorithm parameters. In one case when dealing with CSV data, I was able to find a LZMA2 compression level, dictionary size and compression mode that yielded a massive speedup, uses 1/100th the memory and surprisingly even yields better compression ratios, probably from the smaller dictionary size. That's in comparison to the library's default settings.
Have an LLM transcribe what is happening in the game into a few sentences per frame, transfer the text over network and have another LLM reconstruct the frame from the text. It won't be fast, it's going to be lossy, but compression ratio is insane and it's got all the right buzzwords.
Because I use fresh incognito mode for each browsing session, I have to click through those consent popups on every website I visit. Quite frustrating to say the least.
Step 1: CSAgent.sys is a certified durgasoft kernel driver that parses clownstrike virus definition files
Step 2: Clownstrike never fixed cases for malformed virus definition files that could trigger an invalid memory access in CSAgent.sys
Step 3: Clownstrike ships the buggy CSAgent.sys and it works for months without problems on customer computers with good virus definition files
Step 4: For some reason the webserver serving virus definition files to all endpoints started serving malformed virus definition files, sometimes they were all blank or filled with random bytes
Step 5: All clownstrike updaters now download malformed LE NEXT GEN APT PROTECTION CLOUD AI LIVE UPDATES into C:\Windows\System32\drivers\clownstrike
Step 7: CSAgent.sys parses them and crashes with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (in kernel that means memory at an oopsie address was accessed)
Step 8: Computer BSOD and reboots
Step 9: CSAgent.sys loads virus definition files
Step 10: Goto Step 7
The kernel driver was a ticking timebomb just waiting for a bug in the CDN. I think it was some funny caching bug with le cloud http loadbalancer.
Users reported that their C-00000291-00000000-00000032.sys contained random shit and actual real files that were a completely different part of the software, like US localization files.
You can see it in the diff between CSAgent.sys_18511.sys and CSAgent.sys_18513.sys, they changed size checks and increased sizes of buffers so that future malformed virus definition files wouldnt crash.
Here's a study that found both men and women can predict the IQ of men based on their facial appearance. However, neither men or women could predic the IQ of women.
Imagine observing a lightning bolt strike the ground. The bolt travels through air almost instantly and emits sound in every direction throughout its path. First you will hear the sound waves emitted from the point that it touches the ground, because that is the closest. Then you will hear the sound waves from 1 cm off the ground, 2 cm, 3 cm and so on all the way up to the lightning bolt's point of origin in the sky. By measuring the duration of the noise you can tell the length of the lightning bolt (assuming it's perpendicular to the ground).
