Modulo Anthropic messing with the model for load mitigation, I wonder how stable this result is.

1,000 pings, how many correctly ponged?

[mghackerlady]

is pong an actual term? If so I might've found a CS term better than wyde (2 bytes)

[technothrasher]

I've heard people use that a lot, but the original metaphor was sonar not table tennis. So it is more appropriately an echo reply (which is what the ICMP return packet is called in the RFC).

[coldcity_again]

Yes, very much so. A ping is a request, a pong a response.

I'll give you another one: In Japanese there is the (unserious) term "enbug" which is the opposite of debug.

2 bytes is a short…

[mghackerlady]

2 bytes is a wyde. Because, to quote knuth, "two bytes makes one wyde"
