The average cheater is most certainly not investing in thousands of dollars of hardware to run intense AI models on a second high power machine. These are mostly theoretical hacks.

The average cheater is paying $10-50 for cheat software. You may not like the anti-cheat software, but it works against the most common cheats.

I think they could have an opt-out league that doesn’t require anti-cheat but remains separate. You might be one of the few non-cheaters in there, but at least it would be an option.
Do you actually think channels like CNN get their left leaning bias from reading twitter, rather than their owners? And I suppose fox gets its bias from listening to Joe Rogan?
Reading an outline definitely helps. Don't worry about it diminishing the experience, it is, as you might have guessed, not a book where the pleasure comes primarily from the plot.

Being able to refer to a guide and say 'oh yes, this is Bloom talking to his boss in the as agency right now helps a lot in keeping yourself grounded.
Semiconductor nonproliferation feels as pointless as banning math after school. it’s a sign that the people who run the usa really don’t get along with the people that run China on some issue, and they picked semi conductors as the game of chicken that’s going to settle it.
I think your first sentence captures it better than the second (though there's some truth to that as well.)

TED talks tend to have a certain style and pattern. And, like a given TV show, there comes a point when the particular style and pattern starts to get repetitive and tiresome. Once you've seen 50 TED talks, even if the 51st would be fairly compelling in isolation, it maybe feels like more of the same in context.

The fashion has mostly moved to other things.
Chip Errors Are Becoming More Common and Harder to Track Down
You should have heard of 'Fortran', the language that had C like performance before C even existed ;).

But no, Fortran is not an alternative to C (und vice versa).
They also don't provide a view controller or something you can present to display the warning as they do with other things like this, you have to build the view yourself according to their silly specs... Phil Schiller needs to go.
I hope so. I think there's plenty of people waiting for that, including me. A modern x220? Good keyboard, trackpoint, decent screen with good outdoors brightness, backlit keyboard, and good linux compatibility? I'm just dreaming, I know.

Your response to a comment about decades-old cars still working is to pitch a planned-obsolescence conspiracy theory?
And fewer developers creates profitable scarcity.
Oh yeah it's totally not happening. I'm going to play around with framing or reverse proxying it so the URL in the address bar isn't a registered one.
I am also curious as to the chip demand by major cloud providers. COVID accelerated migration to the cloud, I have heard numbers from "cloud people" as much as 5x.

Hey, did you meant "device" or "advice"?
First people complain that no one will use Linux because theirs no hardware. Then they complain they can’t use Linux because of the software support. We now have both and now people won’t use Linux because Microsoft acquired studio’s games will only run on Windows? That moving goal post doesn’t look good for the Switch or PlayStation platforms then.
I'm hoping the second iteration of the Framework has more options. If I'm going to buy a laptop that's all about hardware customization I'm not going to settle for a chiclet keyboard and no mouse buttons.
As a UK citizen, I'd rather that we didn't need a universal ID for those things.

If we assume that driving licences are a sane system for safety reasons, I'd prefer a system in which I can show that I am the person that took the driving test, but not that this is the same person that lives at 74 Fake Street or that has bank account number XYZ.

So basically, I'd rather it be rowed back. Why would I want to be required to carry identification when wandering about outside? What possible benefit could that afford me? From my perspective it's a pure negative, I generally try to avoid things that fall into that category.

Generally I'd say "less information if at all necessary".

There are obviously situations in which people need to be identified.

If I use my car to smash into someone and then do a runner, and so the police need to find me to punish me, I want that to be a process that's governed by controls e.g. they can run the licence plate and find out it's my car, but only when they have real reason to do so and not just because road tax receipts will increase by a marginal amount if we blanket all of the roads in automated cameras and send fines to everyone.

Maybe a little harsh. Rivers do nothing but jam up and break up logjams, have for millions of years. Maybe it's healthy.

Here in the US, the environment was mostly chains of stagnant beaver ponds for millennia. It was the Iroquoi Confederacy that kilt them all, broke up the dams. For money - beaver hats in Europe were all the rage. Remade the topology of a continent in a few score years.

So it works both ways.

I am puzzled that he really appears to find it funny.

I am a long-time Mac user and I find myself fervently hoping that Apple has made the completely unnecessary self-own that will finally help people forget the whole keyboard fiasco.

This is the most staggering example of deliberate, bad-faith arrogance that they could have come up with. If Apple is now the kind of business that joyfully thumbs its nose at regulators like Facebook did, we are in the bad timeline.

[edit to add: I don't expect them to like dealing with regulators, and I do expect them to loudly complain in press releases and in the FT and WSJ and on every business TV programme in the world. I then expect them to comply in a way that is productive, whereas this is just aggression, and it'll only leave a bad taste with developers and customers. If they want the same instinctive response as RyanAir, this is the way to go about it]
If a generating function does not condense to some small symbolic expression, it is next to useless. Yes, the radius of convergence is not very relevant for G.F., however, without any convergence, there will be no shorthand symbolic expression. And that's really what we are after with G.F. For example 1/(1-x) for the OGF of the sequence 1,1,1,1.....etc. We don't care that the interval of convergence is between (-1,1). However if there was no convergence at all, the expression 1+x+x^2+x^3..... would not simplify.
You have to tune cheat tools down or your stats will get you banned. An abnormally high headshot rate is a sure way to get banned.

That's where anticheat is going imo: algorithmiclly defining what the fastest more precise human should be capable of. Anything beyond that is "cheating".

AIUI China has many mobile phone builders that all use android with minimal customisation, so they're basically interchangeable except for the prices of the vendor-provided app store on each. And apparently none of them use app pricing to undercut the others, unless I've overlooked recent developments?

It's not clear to me why the Chinese competition fails at undercutting Apple/Google and the proposed app store competition would achieve that. I don't see the relevant difference.

The unique identifier on Android is easily broken, BTW. I don't know iOS well, but on android it's simple. IIRC you don't even need an android development kit, the java tools will do. This fine web page lets you download a formerly welll-known app; someone downloaded the app, unzipped the executable (which is in zip format), resigned and uploaded. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-quickpic-v4-5-2-class...
But why? Shouldn't Apple be doing the work?
Like Microsoft allows you to sign your app, there should be a mechanism like this for each OS. I can still install an app if it is not signed but I am being warned.

It's the kind of thing that screams that you're nearing the top of a bull market, or of a bubble.

In 2007 it was waiters and the unemployed buying million dollar homes.

In 1720 it was people ploughing their life savings into the South Sea Company though they freely admitted they had no clue what it was (understandable, since it was not much of anything). But many HODLed until it all came crashing down.

> We used to hate Microsoft for much less than this. I wonder how Apple can still have so many fans, even on this forum.

Right.

I mean I am an Apple kit user (albeit mostly the cheap/secondhand stuff these days), but you're right -- this is a ghastly display of entitlement and I hope it costs them.

That's quite a claim to make w/out providing evidence.
My approach was at first nothing but admin, but then i found places where i must make custom views.

I'm kind of at a spot where I want to replace all admin with custom but this comes up against an important rule. Dont fix what's not broken.
> If your tech savvy, you know that this is just fear-mongering on Apple's part.

Apple has a policy where every subscription model that is paid for via the app store needs to be one-click cancelable, and from a single system menu that shows all of your subscriptions. That's an actual protection that the app store gives me, the customer, and which I might not receive from other payment processors... so it's not really as much "fear mongering" as you're making it out to be.
> Apple's really jerking on the regulators' chain.

It feels like a US management decision to win a court case in the US, not someone who knows European anti-trust regulators. Really bizarre.
A store cannot dictate how much you charge for a product at a different retailer, and they have no right to interfere with your business activity, and the agreements you have with a different distributor.
If you think Microsoft buying a bunch of studios will lock in gaming forever then you know nothing about the gaming or software industry.
The biggest issue for me (and many others) is that it's not an x86 machine. This is fine if your entire workflow revolves around delivering web experiences or performing platform-agnostic media-encoding, but the moment you step into things like Docker management, cross-compilation, 32-bit library support... the premise just falls apart entirely. Apple is doing their own thing now, and I think it's fine if they want to segregate their market so they can focus on what they do well, but I frankly fail to see how an M1 Mac would do anything but bring more headache to my current position where I deploy to and maintain x86 machines.
No, not even. Your average cheater these days are C and D tier streamers who feel a pressure to perform and have a budget. And it's far easier to do this than you think. They keep getting caught out doing this type of cheat specifically.

They're buying trained models from people who have the fancy hardware.
> Weird, all I personally know from 80s Yugoslavia is from people who came to Germany to work on construction sites

Selection bias. Emigrants tend to be the least happy people - there's a reason they left. Emigrants are not a good sample of the "real" native people.

> My opinion now is that I don't think that this would've been a good reason to not reunite Germany

Sure, borders change and sometimes countries get unified. But the OP was asking about unifying the entire world, not two sides of a neighbouring country with the same language. That is a painful thought, we should be fighting to protect cultures like we fight to protect endangered species.
An Escher Sentence in the Wild (2004)
You don't need thousands of dollars of hardware. You need one (1) Raspberry Pi 4, plus an HDMI capture card and a Raspberry Pi Zero to act as fake mouse/keyboard. You can totally do that for $50. (Probably less if you use an Arduino clone instead of a Raspberry Pi Zero.)

Heuristic software works against the most common cheats. Standard anti-piracy tricks work against the most common cheats. Kernel-level anticheat is only useful against a very specific kind of high-end cheat, and if you're going that far, you might as well use an undefeatable hardware cheat.
That is a lot of pseudoscientific bullshit, if you don’t have the stats to prove it.
Brilliant, this is far more succinct than I could have put it.
Because of my GameStop stock play, I am finally debt free for the first time in my life (after 35 years of paying). No car loan, no college loans, no mortgage.

It actually felt good to pay over $10k in taxes for short term gains.
Incorrect, there’s lots of cheats that are completely seamless and just improve your performance without being a completely binary “perfect headshot” vs “always miss” or something.

I guess your last encounter with aimbots was in the early 00s…
Still working on an X1 carbon 5th. Screen isn't very good and the processor feels pretty slow. But it sleeps properly and the battery life is great (Ubuntu 20.04).

Holding out until Framework gen 2 comes out, either with AMD or Intel 12th gen.

Feels to me like framework is going to take all the Linux users. Wouldn't be surprised if they release a keyboard with a track point too.

Hope they put attention into proper S3 sleep. What a massive industry regression in the last 5 years.
I don't interact with forums on my phone. Long form discussion is far better used where I can type using a keyboard.
> pointless hearsay

This such a typical response of people who live in a bubble, and get angry when nobody else in the real world agrees with their insane ideas.

Just because people think PHP is garbage doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about. In fact, in my experience, the hatred many experience people in the industry have of PHP almost always comes directly from having been forced to use it.

In my case, I've worked on several large PHP projects (100k+ sloc, developed over 10+ years by many people) and it's by far the single worst language and set of tools I ever used.

Literally everything from the language, to the runtime, to the standard library, third party libraries, etc. is just complete and utter amateur hour, and is done so much better in almost any other language ecosystem out there.

I'm glad you're somehow able to make it work for you, but don't pretend it's good. It's really not.

a company shoehorning in NFT's is not a "long term" plan, it's a dying brand capitalizing on the latest craze that will almost certainly die out alongside it.
WSB started as a canard to get more drunk tourists to the small stakes poker tables, in this analogy the poker table is low volume options where you can get a handful of robinhood investors to move the price and make a quick thousand bucks. It’s still that today, but larger players with more money figured out that they could do that too, and potentially on a larger scale. That’s what this has always been about. There’s no movement, there’s no postmodern narrative, it’s just a bunch of people pumping and dumping and using the “movement” thing as a fig leaf.
I'm not sure whether any of that timing precision will do any good on GitHub Actions, where this seems to be running. I don't think the machine is going to be quiet enough to get a good measurement of anything.
That sounds like a pedantic discussion of the meaning of the word "health." What the author is referring to is the cohesion of society. The "health" is the ability for us to get along and reduce the infighting.
I was late getting into computers, and back in '98 just got my first Windows PC. I struggled, but eventually figured out how to get MAME installed and loaded up a long forgotten arcade game I used to play as a kid at my local corner store.

It's hard to describe the sense of wonder I felt when when the ROM check sequence flashed to the title / insert credits screen and I knew it worked. It might sound silly, but few moments in my life have been so eye opening. It was definitely a key factor in me starting my path to becoming a developer.
2.6 Ghz * 1.8ms = 4,680,000 CPU cycles. To reiterate, this is independent of instructions. That's the number of CPU cycles it took to execute hello world.
A kernel anti-cheat isn't going to fix that, by far the best servers are community moderated and usually cheats aren't really complicated.
Came here to say the same. Neutrino.js would be a much nicer name, IMO.
Modal before the Modal: “we are about to display a message required by Apple. We use a non-Apple payment provider that is also private and secure. Please tap Proceed to continue”
But it does eliminate whole classes of cheats like ESPs and wallhacks. It also allows for servers to trust the clients. There's no issue with letting a client determine if they've killed someone instead of needing on the server to rollback and check for kills.
He said in the talk that he didn't have the manual for that specific processor.

That doesn't excuse the lack of attention to detail and doing research before spinning it as something new. Especially since this was in the publicly-available datasheet that one could find with very little searching.
I like to see it more as "in the end, money corrupts".

> I feel like I am in a "late-game" stage of gaming ... a major percentage of games simply look not interesting (anymore) to me.

I dunno. The kind of games I like (puzzle-like, simulations, calm strategy) was mainstream once. At that time, the majority of the popular games was interesting.

My tastes change in that I'm way more receptive to reaction games than I used to be. But not enough to prefer them. What places me on the same position you are on, but my actual tastes didn't change much since childhood.
They are small subset of players because there are no wide support for gaming on Linux. If this change by game developers then this percentage will increase dramatically.
There are lot of floor plans out there with the kitchen nowhere near a window. Certainly was true of the last apartment I rented (gas stove) and my current house (electric appliances, 1979).

Probably more so than average where I live (Baltimore), since a lot of the housing here is row homes instead of detached.

Just tangentially we've had a couple big gas explosions in the last half decade, too.
> German market pays best in Europe but you need to speak the language. The culture is also very specific.

Genuine question: do you mean to say the culture is very specific or just not American?

I'm curious to know if it is more specific than, let's say, French or Spanish.
Validly Numeric
Computers and phones are in fundamentally different categories because one has open software and the other doesn't.

Whether you or people in aggregate choose to do things is distinct from whether they are effectively forced via planned obsolescence. That's what makes it planned.

I know that my old car has lower fuel efficiency. It's actually not that bad, my 20 year old car gets about 45-50 UK MPG, a new one of the same shape etc would get about 60-70. The distinction is small enough that scrapping the car and making a new one would be worse overall from an emissions perspective.

But again, that's my choice. New phones have better cameras than mine. I don't care, I have a real camera for that.
Blockchain only works if you can print/mint the money needed to pay for the operation.

Otherwise, there are faster/cheaper/simpler alternatives.
I think the whole point is erasure of the all the variables that might help make a person a success (education, parents, wealth, community, nutrition, etc.) The success a person has achieved is somehow an innate part of who the person is, these other variables merely distract or (in the case of Shakespeare's teachers) hold them back. If the world would get out of their way, these people would have been even more successful even earlier. How amazing would the world be if that was the case?

An obvious corollary is that these successful people don't owe anyone anything: all of these variables don't really matter. I don't think that's mentioned in this talk, however.
> at the moment the only way that you can have a program make an automated payment and have that program verifiable by your customer.

Far from the only way, unless you restrict the "only" to the ability to verify the software before it runs.

if you allow the more general case, and the one I think most customers would care about, the concern is a verifiable guarantee that if their flight is cancelled, the insurance will pay out within X hours of the official cancellation of the flight.

However, this is already verifiable by the dumb contract. Noting that this "dumb" contract can be enforced by law.

The law (and the regulations on the insurance industry) are a publicly verifiable claim about the payments process. Yes, the public verification stops at the interface layer (and hides the application layer), but we usually accept this as a good principle of software design, don't we?
