You ask that about Facebook and thanks to the recent outage we can already see that YES Facebook is having a significant impact on traffic to non-Facebook news sites. When Facebook went down earlier this month there was a 40% spike in traffic to news sites during the outage.

Now imagine a company that has been just as effective as Facebook at replacing/consuming/killing it's competition in the retail space and you've got Amazon. If Amazon went down for a proportional extended period, say for a few days, you'd likely see a massive spike in sales at other retailers just as we saw a massive spike in new site traffic when Facebook was down.
At some point public interest turned against cigarettes too despite moneyed interests being in favor of poisoning millions of people forever to keep the money flowing and it became desirable to be seen to sacrifice something while actually leaving society dealing with most of the costs of obtaining that profit.

Climate change has become so overwhelmingly obvious that most people can't be persuaded that its not real so the moneyed interests are focusing on proclaiming that they are on the right side of history while trying to blunt any effective change that would hurt their pockets.

That is why for example that its super important for you to recycle that coke bottle but not important for companies to stop poisoning the planet or paying for it to be poisoned elsewhere.

Climate change is a real issue and the overwhelming fact is we have a huge hand in the multitude of maladies that plague our planet and if we don't do something beyond trivial tokens like recycling a coke bottle we are all fucked. Few with substantial wealth to be gained in the short term are considering the long term effects and they are funding both sides to keep those costs from hitting close to home.

The difference to return to the first analogy is Democrats are trying to keep cigarette taxes low while Republicans are proudly proclaiming that manly men smoke and their grandad lived to 95 smoking on whiskey and bacon and 2 packs a day!

Democrat inaction may rob us opportunities to preserve our health, wealth, prosperity, and lives but Republican lies stand to rob us of even the awareness of an actual problem that is a necessary precondition for any sort of action.

Pretending these things are the same would be a mistake.
Never thought about that approach before, that is super interesting. Tying it entirely to rank isn't the best, but placing you in lobbies on an axis that is independent (but correlated with) rank would achieve the same effect without clogging high-ranks with cheaters and giving cheaters a reward.

Then the cheaters organically get placed in lobbies with other cheaters, ruining the fun for them. If the system doesn't work the best right out of the box, that's fine, because you are still gravitating those cheaters upwards in rank, which will most guarantee that they get reported from other players.

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

> How do they try to stop it now?

Generally, they don't. They have an in game reporting function, but it doesn't seem to do much good. Many cheaters live stream their exploits, seeing people through walls, getting 100%-accuracy-all-head-shots, etc. The net code that's responsible for reporting where you are aiming is separate from the data/code that reports where your bullets are sent, so some cheaters show off by shoot directly at the ground below their feet while magically killing people several hundred feet up above in a helicopter.

The experience is often pretty bad, and yet people still play the game...
What I don't get about this, what prevents your cheats from starting at boot too?
Really like the "blocks" idea. That's clever, sets this apart from Yet Another Notes App...
Yes, you can think of them in an algebraic way. You also can not think of them in an algebraic way.

I guess you explained it better than me. What makes them algebraic is the way you think about them and the full set of types they are part of. For the types themselves, the name is meaningless.
I don't really grasp why inference speed of tiny YOLO models is still reported by using giant GPUs.

I feel like I'd rather know how fast it runs on, say, a Jetson or even a Raspberry Pi CPU.

> It's cheating really that big of a deal?

Yes, it makes competitive/casual play crap. In CoD in particular, it is out of control.

> How do they try to stop it now?

A variety of ways, ranging from server-side analytics, player-driven report systems, manual review, the game inspecting its own state, processes that spy on your computer, and rootkits. Each and every one of these has different advantages and drawbacks.

> Do they really need a kernel driver?

Given how ineffective anti-cheat efforts in CoD have been, it's possible that they need a kernel driver to bring it under control. It's possible that a more talented team would not.

I had this update lying around now too. Same signature function, this one actually was another 200% improvement:

# guvectorize also supports target='parallel' for automatic parallelization
@numba.guvectorize([(complex128[:], uint8[:])], "(n)->(n)")
def compute_mandelbrot_gu(cs, out):
"compute number of iterations of z² + c before it escapes"
for i in range(cs.shape[0]):
c = cs[i]
z = 0j
count = 0
while count < 200:
z = z * z + c
if (z * z.conjugate()).real > 4.:
break
count += 1
out[i] = count

Whether to use numba's parallel for guvectorize or mine, it doesn't matter so much, they perform about the same. Parallelizing on a higher level is generally favorable to me.

One thought here: the number of 100%+ improvements made here just underscores how slow python is to start with :). And yes, everyone in comments here complaining about numpy are sort of right, since the ultimate end here is just a flat loop without numpy, but as a numpy function.
Most cheats replicate things humans can do. They correct issues people have with their aim or reaction times.

Inhuman inputs are a thing of the past. Kids these days can do some pretty wild stuff at high levels of play.

I once had an unusually good match in a popular FPS game, triggered some statistical tripwire, and received an automatic ban for 48 hours. "Just in case".

Exactly. It's not about the total sales digital marketing generates, but the incremental ones it brings. It can be quite efficiently evaluated, so definitely it's NOT a scam.

That’s not like this at all. You have businesses who are making a profit off of an information asymmetry and reselling goods for higher prices. Totally normal, not begrudging it. But it’s always a risk that someone will figure out your suppliers and cut you out of the deal.

Have you never looked around to figure out where some dropshipper gets their stuff and bought direct?
That is simply nonsense. The current vaccines are not completely effective at reducing transmission in a rapidly mutating virus when a significant minority is refusing to take it. If the vaccine was deployed to 95% of the population the virus would not have enough hosts to continue propagating and would reduce to background noise that can be easily handled by the medical systems with treatments like MCAs.

I'm also curious what is acceptable about monoclonal antibodies, but not the vaccine? They've been developed by the same types of scientists, on a similar timeline to the mRNA vaccine technology, and they work on similar fundamentals, but the MCAs are a less effective solution in terms of cost, production, deployment, and long term protection. The whole thing just seems like a temper tantrum with no rational basis.

Yes, that is what I meant by the transmission (indeed, there was a huge difference between QE in 2010 and QE in 2014). There is also a huge difference in QE now, and 2010. Each time the structure changes and the impact on transmission changes (because the Fed had no idea how QE was supposed to work, and apparently still doesn't appear to know precisely). A key point is that QE in 2010 primarily worked through portfolio composition, not directly on money supply.

Similarly, giving people cash handouts is not necessarily inflationary either (it happens all the time anyway, food stamps, unemployment benefits) because cash handouts don't necessarily increase the money supply. The issue is that transmission appears to have changed in a very subtle way (this isn't just occurring in the US either) where you have fiscal policy seeming to leak through to the money supply (something that a significant proportion of politicians think is impossible atm).

> day and date of release

Doesn't have to be day and date of release for apple to learn that they don't want to upgrade.

Most enterprise customers have customer management teams at apple and like, so they can easily learn that company [x,y,z] may not buy full fleet upgrades (or even partial fleet) and downscale manufacturing.

I bet that chip fab costs are high right now. If apple knows they can slow production down until next spring, they may chose to do that to save money.

> detect the supernatural aim server-side

Not possible. Sure, it might be possible to detect a player instantly snapping to the center of an opponent's head and clicking, but cheats could easily make the aim move over the course of several frames, and make the target off of the center of the head by a couple pixels to simulate someone just being really good.

I've watched some really good gamers in person. People's ability to quickly flick their mouse and pop shot to a target only 1/4" inch wide on their screen in a tiny fraction of a second is insane to me.

So being able to differentiate between a cheat that tries to behave like a god-like player (rather than simply aiming to a head in a single frame) and an actual god-like player is not possible.

> a working report system.

Also not possible because of the sheer number of reports. There are people that will report 100% of the time they lose a firefight, even if a replay makes it very obvious that the person they lost against was not cheating.

And again, even with a replay, it can be impossible to differentiate between a cheater and a really good player, except in the case of OBVIOUS cheats, like shooting through a wall with 100% accuracy, or firing into nowhere and scoring hits on targets a mile away.

At best, you could ban people from using the report system when it's obvious they're abusing it, but evaluating reports has to be a manual process, but manual processes doesn't scale when you've got a player base of 7 figures or more.

Meh, the scientific method is akin to "agile" in software development.

It's good principles but really is less a method and more guiding principles.

That is the good and the bad of the scientific method. Implementing any one of the steps poorly and you've got crap studies which technically followed the scientific method but are ultimately "unscientific".

You get into the same sorts of arguments as a result. "Agile is pefect, but scrum sucks" "The scientific method is perfect, but nutrition survey studies suck".

The part that the scientific method lacks is determining what a good implementation looks like.

It's just that even with self-awareness, you're not going to dive into existential torment and intimate communication at every opportunity when "it takes the edge off" is a functional equivalent, even if you wade further into a swamp of denial with every utterance of it. The dopamine rush is just the latest iteration of taking the edge off, getting comfort in something that gives you some feelings short-term but is hugely unhealthy in the long-term.

Beyond that, an excuse is an excuse. "I doomscroll on FB all day because I'm insecure and I was abused as a child" (to use a personal example) can become just as much of an excuse as "I get a dopamine hit from connecting with my friends on FB." Sounds awkward when you first hear that, but then you keep hearing it, and it becomes normal.
Just to point that the prevailing science of the day was completely divided between Earth and Heliocentrism, and the Church supported research of both sides.

The Galileo story is a very nice tale of what happens when you mix science and politics.

We would be exactly where we are since Galileo didn't do that much to prove the heliocentric model.

Galileo also wasn't jailed for the heliocentric model, Galileo was jailed for writing a book, where The Pope was the stand in character for an idiot, overtly. And while we are more liberal, at the time insulting the pope in published material, in Italy, was a rather poor choice.
The harm people cause by holding believing false beliefs is rather complicated at times, yet extremely important and impactful nonetheless.

For flat earthers in particular this video sheds some light on why their way of thinking is harmful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44

To be extremely reductive, allowing false beliefs into one's web of beliefs corrupts it. This typically gives rise to a multitude of other false beliefs. Flat earthers almost never only believe one obviously false conspiracy theory. They become epistemically susceptible, and worse still, they tend to spread these awful ways of thinking with great zeal.

In the more general case, I recommend you learn about the ethics of belief. The Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy page on the topic is a good starting point: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-belief/
