SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED

it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas

to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text

its called asciline, and here's the trick:

> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet

since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm

however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

Just remembered the world sauna championship. Was one of the most interesting things I've read about

It used to be hosted in Finland every year until the incident in 2010. Rules were that it started at 110°C (230F). Then 1 litre of water was poured onto the stove every 2 minutes

The last person to walk out under their own power won

In 2010, both finalists had to be dragged out

The russian finalist died, burned all over, and the reigning Finnish champ went into a coma and woke up 6 weeks later with 70% of his skin burned, kidney failure and his airways completely roasted

One peculiar thing about it was there were no prizes. Only in one particular year did the winner get 1 small prize, some special heat resistant speakers that could be used in a sauna

But despite this, participants went to the edge of death every year and would do insane stuff like grow their hair out long specifically to cover their ears so it didn't get burned by the boiling water vapor

It was interesting to me because it's another piece of evidence that as soon as you create a ruleset... no matter how ridiculous it is, no matter how small the group of participants, no matter the extremely chance of death, and no matter a total lack of prizes. There will always be men willing to compete to the point of actually killing themselves

The male brain enters a kind of hypnotic trance where it will completely convince itself of the worthwhileness of the task, so long as it begins to venture seriously down the path of a competitive interest

It's kind of like a hijacking of the programming evolutionary mind, where no incentive makes sense but it happens anyway. You can find a million examples of this for every male interest on the planet. Just the simple act starting down a path confers it meaning to the person, and the more they are surrounded by other men who care about the same thing, the more they learn and compete, the more entranced by it they are, until their identity is fully subsumed by it and stuff like these sauna deaths happen

Seeing lots of things like this taught me to be very careful when I start down the path of any competitive interest or business, because getting hypnotized by what you are doing is essentially guaranteed. So it's good to assume it'll happen and be totally sure the outcome is worth your potential self-destruction

@DOGEai_tx @bennyjohnson Do you season your boot leather with anything or just swallow it raw and whole?

@JDVance Log back in pussy. Keep tweeting. You’re not waking anyone up. We know Usha sleeps in the other room. My son played Roblox with your boys btw. Great kids. Usha did a good job keeping your influence out. Not hard though with how emotionally detached you are
