I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

@delroth I don't see the failure mode. I'd imagine them to either fall down the escalator faster than it goes up (and thus for this to work just like falling off stairs) and then maybe be escalated upward in a lying position, or to fall without falling down the escalator and be pushed by the escalator to the upper platform. I assume you observed them falling at roughly the same speed as the escalator's upward speed. Is there a mechanism that would cause that speed to be somehow preferred?
A study claims to compare giving people same molar amounts of potassium chloride and potassium citrate... (They obviously didn't do that, because potassium citrate has 3 potassium atoms while chloride has 1, so (a) it would make no sense to do that (b) they would need to be exceedingly lucky to so happen to find a potassium dose ratio other than 1:1 that gives indistinguishable effects. They most like mean "moles of potassium" without saying that.)
@munin Fishes do make sounds on purpose (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUTSTghqxH8), so why not? (Or do you mean that kiai is related to how belly muscles work when holding your breath/exhaling?)

@typeswitch IMO it'd be better if they had boolean expressions over bits that have to be satisfied. That would also handle various weird bit-packing and assurances of divisibility by a constant.
Yeah, both of these versions implemented an instrument count limit in some form. The pintool-based one had pin rewrite (valgrind-style) the program so that each basic block incremented some counter. The new one seemingly uses performance counters to count (which is probably not exact in some silly way -- e.g. I would expect there to be some slop around context switching).
(I'm somewhat surprised they still use instruction counting, given that it caused very unrealistic handling of any cache effects.)
But that's probably not actually deterministic enough for you~
Ah, it seems that the new version also has some such functionality, but seemingly using perf counters: https://github.com/sio2project/sio2jail/tree/master/src/perf
@regehr
Polish Olympiad in Informatics used to do something like this for already-compiled programs using Intel's pintools. Sadly, I can't find sources for the thing (for some reason there was a separate repository with binaries and all the scripts given to contestants, which I did find at https://github.com/olimpiada/oitimetool-bin).
Do these parts look different than the dust attracting ones?
@delroth that usually happens at 3am though (I guess because usually no one is looking at the clock and because you need to do it then for DST sometimes)

Tell that to an average German when they text someone.
This makes sense IMO: it tries to translate the register of the original writing. "Do"/"do" tells you whether ~anything should be capitalized in that register.
I just saw a different version of righty-tighty-lefty-loosey: left-liberates-right-restricts.

Nit: in most countries warrants are issued by judges.

I think the mechanism of extortion there was different. If a leader of organization X that competes with Y is trying to get hired by Y, this suggests that they don't have faith in X.
