Popups can become larger than the screen on mobile. Add scrolling in such cases?

I think the Triplebyte advertisement broke:

Gwern

I am also sad to see the return of Gwern advertisements in general, and would be up for donating to your patreon to get rid of them for everyone (obviously with some upper bound on how much).

The ad is an experiment: https://www.gwern.net/Ads#followup-test

The alignment is wrong, yes. I got the CSS id wrong when I set up the second one, I guess. Fixed.

(I think the linked section is missing the word 'discussion' before 'ensued'.)

Ah, seems good. I support ads for science, so no objections from me.
