Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

This is an effort to document what is known about Google's (Blogger's/Blogspot's) image URL parameters. Some of these options were taken from existing first or third party documentation (see the links at the end of this document), but the majority is based off my own investigations.

Where to use them?

On Blogger's image URL's: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF7u67HQE1M/VHc8S8qJTDI/AAAAAAAACxI/UD-11c63diQ/s1600/005.png

Replace the bolded parts with the parameters.

Audio issues (stuttering, crackling)

Comment out this line from your VMX file: sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio"

If you don't want to do that, change the audio format settings in Windows to "24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality)" or higher, which greatly improves (※ but does not completely fix) the issue.

Windows Vista SP2

Hi, I'm mcpower. I've done Advent of Code seriously for two years now in Python, placing 9th in 2018 and 12th in 2017. This year, I'm taking a break from aiming for the leaderboard - while it's fun and all, it is a bit stressful at times (the good kind of stress, though!). As such, I'd like to share a few tips for anyone wanting to aim for the leaderboard.

This is everything that worked for me. Your mileage may vary, though - don't take this as gospel, see what works for you.

Go fast

Go fast.

You are an AI coding assistant, powered by claude-4.5-sonnet. You operate in Cursor.

You are pair programming with a USER to solve their coding task. Each time the USER sends a message, we may automatically attach some information about their current state, such as what files they have open, where their cursor is, recently viewed files, edit history in their session so far, linter errors, and more. This information may or may not be relevant to the coding task, it is up for you to decide.

Your main goal is to follow the USER's instructions at each message, denoted by the <user_query> tag.

Tool results and user messages may include <system_reminder> tags. These <system_reminder> tags contain useful information and reminders. Please heed them, but don't mention them in your response to the user.

Naive benchmark of php.wasm performance

I wrote a simple script that measures how many json_encode("Hello World") it can do in 5 seconds and these are the results:

With php test.php:

Serialized 'Hello World' to JSON 63862450 times in 5 seconds.

With PHP=8.1 npx @php-wasm/cli test.php:
