Very little of what you are describing is a relevant problem in competitive online games. It's all about cheats that make it appear that someone is simply a very skilled player.

High level cheating involves minimally noticeable aimbots or wallhacks of some kind (for a MOBA this would be fog removal). Being able to see enemy cooldowns, scripting combos.

What you're describing would do nothing for the vast majority of online cheating.
It is rock solid now.
Weird though since you can get your resting heart rate much lower by exercising.
I wonder how it estimates VO2Max and how often depending on the model. On my Series 3, it seems to make a data point two or three times a month and it’s concerning to me because it seems like it isn’t trending up even though I have started to do more cardio exercises. Instead, it has consistently reported a range that it says is below average.

Could it be that it’s just pretty difficult to improve VO2Max in general? Some people’s hearts have to beat harder or they breathe in less than fitter people?
Newsletter with short case studies on content that has gone viral on TikTok https://tiktokexamples.com

There wasn't any other newsletter like it, and I figured it would be useful for creators on the platform who are lookikg for new content ideas.

I'm thinking of shutting it down though. Haven't been able to achieve the growth targets I set myself, and I don't want to run it just as a hobby.
It was a slip up. It might not be diplomatic, but it wasn’t a lie.
I am disappointed by how poor primary care is in the developed world. It could easily be made better by including a VO2Max test and a DEXA scan every few years. On my own dime, I took both (cost was ~ $150 total from a private provider) and the DEXA scan revealed I carried too much visceral fat and my cardiovascular fitness was only average, things that never came up in my yearly physical. The same applies for basic strength testing, another predictor of morbidity and mortality.
We know less about what's happening internally

That's literally what both of these guys already made public at different times about different facilities. Is there reason to think they had additional information that they just decided not to share?
The workaround might be to attach the GPS device to your dog's collar, as was done in Cuba by OpenStreetMappers
But what the Rabbit R1 is doing as an app running on a cumbersome hardware device is totally uninteresting. And that is the point people are making when they say it's just an app.
>I wouldn't say these anti-cheat tools that come with Valorant or LoL are from dubious origins.

You are talking about Vanguard, developed by Riot which is owned by Tencent which is a Chinese company? China has demonstrated enough grip on companies over the years that anything China can directly influence is dubious. China can decide to do something with the installations and has the power to do it in secret. It is significantly harder in western democracies. The relationship between the state and the private enterprises is entirely different.

Valve's VAC is not in the same league with Vanguard from a technical point of view (it is not even kernel based if I'm not mistaken). I would not let that slide either if it was though.
> This can actually make sense - why not make Electron a shared part of the OS instead of so many apps bundling it.

Microsoft did this ages ago, they lost a big anti-trust trial over it.

Aside from that, people ship electron because it works the same across different OSs, if you just want to target one OS, you are better off using that OSs native dev toolkit. Although good luck finding anyone who knows how to write native apps for desktops anymore, and if you are on Windows, good luck figuring out what toolkit you are supposed to use now days!

And Linux has had the decades long problem of QT vs GTK.

So really the only platform with a native toolkit is MacOS, although when it first came out there were actually multiple toolkits to choose from there as well, and now days I think there is some argument over using Swift of not still (not sure, don't keep up).

Or you can just use Electron and skip the above mess entirely.
The poor VO2Max estimates on the Apple Watch is why I'm phasing out of wearing one.

I track my actual VO2Max measurements in Apple Health via a shortcut, and I don't need a daily made-up number messing up my data.
That's why there are separate Cycling and Running VO2 indicators

You won't be a 55 Vo2 runner if you're a 55 Vo2 Cyclist, but cardiovascular fitness does cross between those activities to an extent
It's getting more and more ridiculous like controlling what software your computer can have installed. Pretty sure some even require TPM and that you are booting into a "trusted environment". The only one who suffers is the genuine gamer as cheaters find their way around, either by directly reading and writing from/to the RAM chip directly or using another PC running machine vision and feeding inputs as a emulated USB hid devices.

I don't think cheating is something that can be solved by a technology in FPS games, you can do some server side checks but it gets really difficult unless you stream the whole game as a video feed from a remote server. Cheating is a social issue, and we had working solution for it.. dedicated community servers which were community moderated.
Yeah the whole point was supposedly you can "train it" by operating a generic "app" and it would learn so in the future other people could operate these apps via voice only.

A clearly as yet non-existant feature. But would definitely require super obervation, recording, and control above standard android. Also insecure as hell.

It would be super dumbo-bonkers insecure if you werent actually running these "Generic app training" on your own device, but in some cloud emulation. yikes

This is as dumb as microsoft selling their next big feature of ai knowing how to control generic windows applications... that means they are going to record EVERYONES screens and actions without consent, we all know how microsoft respects users consent
Yeah, this was back in the days of dial-up.

Ask HN: I have been unable to land a job in two years, does anybody
... over here have something I can help with?

I have had all sort of experiences in my job search:

Sometimes I pass the interviews but companies goes with other candidates.
I have failed some interviews too (Unable to solve the problem on the given amount of minutes by the interviewer).
I have taken two take-home projects, ghosted.
In my last interview after elaborating about my experience they told me: We have just been told the vacancy is no more.
Also, I have been noticing that Spring have become synonym of Java (Most of the time when I apply for a Java Developer job they ask about Spring), I can grasp it on the job.

I need to refresh some Algorithms knowledge, I have devoted sometime learning Scala for example, and a little bit of Haskell.

I firmly believe I can help with something in a Software oriented company, even data wrangling or any other task nobody else likes to do.

I am located in Mexico, so I am willing to do remote. And... (Please don't hate me for this [I know this put pressure on other country's citizens]) I don't charge that much.

P.S. I can't help thinking one of my biggest mistakes have been being too idealistic. Or neglecting reality, e.g. I have devoted these two past days entirely to Blender in order to produce a little sorta short-film. But any step I was thinking I shall study some Algorithms. But I really wanted to finish this Blender project, once down, I hardly will spend more than half an hour to it (Exception on the weekends of course).

It's true in the sense that you'll be better optimized towards the activities you train in most intensely in regularly, but you do develop transferable gains as well. It's just not 100% transferable.

> To which language?

I mean more in the sense of "where did you get this definition from."

> The difference there is in the types the enums are applied to. In one case, a basic integer-based type. In the other, a class.

I'm still not seeing a difference, mainly because when I went to see how c++'s `enum class` and rust's `enum`, they both seemed to work the same.

#[repr(u8)]
enum Words {
Foo = 0,
Bar,
Baz,
}

const _: () = {
assert!(Words::Foo as u8 == 0);
assert!(Words::Bar as u8 == 1);
assert!(Words::Baz as u8 == 2);
};

vs

enum class Words : uint8_t {
Foo = 0,
Bar,
Baz
};

static_assert(static_cast<uint8_t>(Words::Foo) == 0);
static_assert(static_cast<uint8_t>(Words::Bar) == 1);
static_assert(static_cast<uint8_t>(Words::Baz) == 2);
> eSports has grown

It's not really clear it has, or is. [0] People, at least in the West, don't seem to think watching video games be played is equivalent to watching sport, which is honestly the least surprising thing ever to me, but I guess I'm not a bombastic YouTube 'content creator'.

I think the main problem has nothing to do with eSports, it's simply that average people don't enjoy games that are rigged against them. Ergo, a profit incentive arises to prevent cheating in multiplayer games. And since a separate profit incentive dictates that all games must be online these days, we end up in a situation where I can't play a single-player game of Madden on Linux because it explicitly blocks Wine, [1] presumably to protect the fairness of multiplayer. (Or more cynically, the integrity of the Madden MUT loot pack casino. Profit motives everywhere!)

VO2 max is a measure of oxygen uptake and distribution. Your VO2 max will transfer over. However, if you're measuring VO2 max in some ancillary way (not a stress test machine) then it will appear differently since you're level of effort will vary based on your technique dor the chosen exercises.

My amusing if cynic take: it’s a function of the number of opinions about how to do it. A project can tolerate 2 easily, 3 in many cases, 4 and above is difficult terrain. To scale up team count, you need to increase the count of “unopinionated, doesn’t really care devs” to prevent too many opinionated devs landing on the same part(s) of the projects and conflicting. Put one or 2 on each pillar of the project - 3 tops if they work together excellently. If a project needs more bodies, drop in unopinionated devs. There’s enough bus factor that they catch each others code, but not so much that it grinds to a halt in communication overhead.
I think they were asserting that people are out of shape because they are sick, and that this study does not imply the causality most people would assume: that getting in shape will make you live longer.

The study itself can’t address the direction of causality because it is observational.
The arxiv has more details. They sparsely populated a dense lattice with particles. Then they turned off the lattice, which allowed all the particles’ wave functions to evolve according to the Schrödinger equation. Then they turned the lattice back on, which constitutes a measurement and collapses the wave functions. Then they took statistics on how far and in which direction each particle traveled and compared those statistics to the ones implied by Schrödinger’s equation.
High level cheating isn't a problem, I mean maybe it is at a high level but for general consumer seeing a character zipping around in the air and then blasting them with a shotgun from across the map is what makes them feel like crap. A player who just looks like a good player doesn't destroy the experience, you just lose to what seems to be a better player.

Most game devs seem to agree with you. It's not like my idea is revolutionary, but you can go far beyond the physics/rules in most multiplayer games I've played.
As the OP mentioned, absolute numbers are garbage, but trends are useful. Once a year just get an actual VO2Max test to peg the watch values too.
I wonder if your point of view, which I describe as "open source absolutist/optimist", has any facts to prove that your point of view is actually a thing that exists, or is fantasy...no offense. Maybe even the biggest open source projects are currently on "borrowed time"?

I'm sorry I wrote this as I didn't actually review the project and see if the source code is available. It appears to be closed source. Your concerns are definitely valid.

My comment was more directed to open source, and I would say to you that the only in-perpetuity guarantee is to fork it.
My VO2 max from running definitely transfers to cycling. Doesn't mean I'm an amazing cyclist but at least cardio isn't my limiting factor.
Chinese EVs are coming out with 1000 km ranges this season. 500 miles in any weather will be available in mid and high end vehicle in a few years in the US. That's twice the distance I get in my $40K 2019 ICE vehicle. That CATL Shenxing PLUS 1000 km battery can charge for 375 miles in 10 minutes or the full 620 miles in 16.6 minutes.

I spend about 3-4 minutes to fill up for about 200 miles in my Mazda once a week (live rural so always try to fill up at or above quarter tank) so for commuting, this is getting awful close to ICE levels of time spent fueling. I'd charge at home mostly, because home ownership is a luxury I possess, but even if I used fast chargers exclusively, I could charge for a month of commuting in two 15 minute sessions or I could gas refuel in four 3.5 minute stops. Stopping at all is a hassle and so the extra stops for the ICE vehicle would balance out the extra 15 minutes per month charging. But again, I'd use home charging most of the time and reserve the fast charging in town for rare cases and for long-haul trips.

For regional trips, for example from the Bay Area to San Diego, Las Vegas, maybe even Portland, they can be done on a single charge. For longer trips, stop off at a 7-11 every 4-5 hours, take a piss, buy some snacks, and in 10 minutes you've got another 375 miles. You could go from San Francisco to New York City in 8 stops. That's a 3 day trip so two stops are at hotel stays and free leaving you with 6 stops of 10 minutes each to cross the country. I don't see any hardship there at all compared to ICE travel.

This all depends on 205 Wh/kg batteries arriving for US EVs. Even if the CATL battery pack doesn't make it to US EVs, some other pack will within a few years I'm sure. By 2030, I think for mid-sized and above cars, range will not be an issue. For small cars, where the batteries cannot be as large, people living in apartments without charging at work will have a slightly less convenient experience than with ICE. By 2035 when ICE vehicles are phased out, I expect even compact cars to have enough range and fast enough charging that everyone will be covered pretty well.
There's famous studies about people testing VO2 max with one leg trained exercises,then looking at VO2 max with non-trained leg.

It probably doesn't help that reliable sources tell me that the Three Gorges Dam is, in fact, absolutely goddamn crooked and janky. One reason they don't allow close photography of it is simply that it looks so very bad.

Grand Coulee Dam, on the other hand, despite being decades older? It's dead-on level.
Surely the number of beats of a higher heart rate while exercising would be more than offset by the lower resting heart rate of a fitter person?
I would love to see how this works. Where can I learn more? I’ve been pretty dissatisfied with the VO2Max on the watch overall.
Completely anecdotal but I think cardio of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) type transfers over the best to weight lifting. I am going to guess it has something to do with the intense/explosive intervals in cardio making one more used to similar explosiveness on weights.
lol players never complain about cheaters and they complain about everything. like every little thing. they complain a lot about smurfs though. actually they do complain about some botting which iv seen as well. not sure if bot or human bot but they are there at the lowest levels trying to speed level to 30 and sell accounts. but i mean everyone at that level are people starting a new alt account and just play/afk fun modes til level 30
One of my few regrets in life, and something I advise to all younger people, is that I didn't work on my upper body strength when I was younger. Now I'm 60, and it's going to be essentially a battle against muscle loss.

Some accelerators are targeted towards people who do not yet have companies. I can't say anything for or against them but I briefly participated in (and chose to leave) Carbon13, which aims to match people with a cofounder.
Those variants do have semantic differences from normal glyphs at least for some manuscripts (because it was only used for eye-related words), and were even reproduced in more modern literatures. Heart-dotted i and j are, at least for now, just stylistic variations. You can probably propose a variation selector for them, however.

For better or worse (worse), people don't go to the doctor for lifestyle analysis and rarely take lifestyle advice from their doctors.

They go to their doctors to know when to start medical interventions.

Even simple waist-to-hip ratio assessement would be a big win for identifying lifestyle concerns, but neither that nor the far more involved VO2Max and DEXA rests are going to become standard unless they becoming a gaiting condition for some celebrated drug or procedure.

And that's as much because of the patient's perspective of what they want from doctors as it is because of the doctors or broader establishment.

My regrets is that I didn't utilize cardio earlier. I would have achieved my lifting goals much earlier if I had.
Yep, cheating is absolutely rampant in any game where the anticheat is ineffective or nonexistent to the point that it’s barely worth playing games like that in online mode.

It’s very frustrating, because I don’t like the idea of rootkit-like anticheat either, but if reports and moderation were the only way to keep cheating at bay, the companies building the games in question would need to keep a team employed full-time to exclusively investigate reports and dole out bans. Even then, this team probably wouldn’t be able to move quickly enough to deal with them all in a timely manner, leaving the problem still somewhat unfixed.

Perhaps the only real solution is for competitive games go current-gen-console-only, where end to end control is a given and invasive anticheat is kept separate from our computers.
There are open design plans for homestead scale hand fed threshing and winnowing/seed cleaning machines. Put them in series. Sheeves of wheat in one end, clean grain on the other. Well worth the time to build if you are cleaning that quantity of grain.

How much time do you have to get into shape?

When it takes 50 years, the statistic probably doesn't hold because you will be dead by then due to the negative influence of smoking on your health.
That’s why I said “undermined” and not “contradicted”.
Not agreeing with the (somewhat amusing) limited heartbeats theory, but even under that theory, cardio is beneficial since it lowers your resting heart rate.

e.g.

my HR is 50 thanks to running an hour a day, my HR during those runs are between 120 to 150, that gives 50x60x23+150x60 == 78000 beats a day

a non runner might've a HR of 60 (being very generous, most folks are well above 70), that gives 60x60x24 == 86400 beats

Again, the limited heartbeats theory sounds like an oversimplification. But the point of rigorous training (cardio and strength) is that your body adapts to the taxing efforts during training and doesn't need to work nearly as hard for your day to day.
Your indicators will be different, but your actual O2 uptake should be essentially similar. Any difference should be due to technique (if you've optimized your breathing/rhythm/etc for one but not the other).
