I have abandoned many games due to cheaters, I think it's great to look at technical solutions but I think the real solution is in community, community tools and less lock in to matchmaking.

We don't have this problem on well moderated servers, or even self-moderated servers (vote kick etc). Smaller better supported communities can self manage the cheating problem but only if they are given the tools to do so. Yeah cheaters can still sneak in, but only until they are kicked and banned.

Matchmaking for many games just gaurantees cheaters both in bottom tier play (cheaters on new accounts) and high tier play (cheaters not yet detected). There's no relief for the casual gamer, who plays well but not often enough to warrant moderated league/ranked games.
How much code is needed for copyright to take effect? A whole program, a file, a block, a line, a variable name? Since there isn't a legally accepted answer yet, I am not sure what can be done other than litigating cases where it goes too far.
Hard to argue with his logic, especially re the fact that pydantic is used very widely by large organizations. Some degree of dependency visibility (i.e. non binary releases, >1 contributor, publicly attributable maintainer) is a good thing.
The benchmark data that they've used to assess their performance comes from Maersk https://github.com/blof/LINERLIB
it is not "harmonic errors" thats don't get corrected. Rather, it is willful collusion, knowing you can follow Realpage's recommended price and you are comfortably assured you won't be undercut, because your should-be competition is doing the same.

They essentially turn what should be a competitive market to a monopoly via collusion.
the only way to solve cheating is handcam anti-cheat.

improve game replay systems then add to them a webcam angle over left shoulder showing both hands, mousepad, and screen.

cheating is about inputs and outputs. screen -> eyes -> hands. in the absence of more evidence about this data flow, cheating is undefined.
Yeah but you missed the point op was making

I suspect that people care about privacy more than we think, but the technology feels overwhelming to them, so they bury their heads in the sand.

I don’t even browse in “private mode.” Not because I don’t care, but because I assume it won’t really change anything.
> If that is the case half of the superstonks subreddit would have to be charged.

You could make a compelling argument that they should be. Superstonks doesn't just post their positions. They, too, try to manipulate the market by hyping up GME.

The average redditor isn't in an active position to pump and dump, as a single individual.
Neither. Mathematics is set of logic discovered by humans and then used with numerals, an abstraction invented by humans, to measure things.
It'd be nice if it was that easy. One thing to think about is that I think the scientific understanding is that unhealthy sperm = unhealthy babies. That's the reason sperm have to undergo such a long and grueling race, as a selection process to reduce the odds an inferior spermazoa can impregnate the egg.
Is that why?! (It's not.)
Cool, let's make one for arch
I think a little while ago Valve reduced the amount of symbols that ship in Linux and Mac build of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (as it was then) - I assume to make it harder for cheaters.

Team Fortress 2 continues to ship with fairly generous symbols in Linux and Mac builds.
This follows the same principles as Ruby on Rails. Super opinionated and batteries included.

I'm sure many of these exist but DHH seems to have put a lot of thought and attention into his and it's worth checking out.

I've been following along on Twitter as he documented his transition from OSX / Textmate to Ubuntu / neovim. Fun to see.
For me, the more prepared I am, the more comfortable I am. Going over what I’m going to say, out loud, so I can fix any wording I might get tripped up on, as well as thinking about questions that might come up. I’ll either proactively answer them as part of the talk or at least have an idea of how I will answer them.

If you have someone you can present to that can give honest feedback, that is also helpful. We used to do this internally on my team before our sprint reviews/demos and it helped a lot. Half the time someone would finish up and we had no idea what they were talking about, so we would talk about ways to adjust the message to make it more meaningful.

To go right along with that, I’d say to keep your audience in mind. Who are you talking to? What do they care about? I might write some code that I think is really cool, but no one cares, and I need to accept that. The person I’m presenting to is going to know how what I did can help them and how to use it. They don’t usually care how the sausage is made. In some cases I’ve prepared for a few options, and if the audience is small enough, I ask them how deep they want to dive and adjust accordingly. Finding that sweet spot, where it seems like people will actually care about what is being said helps to put me at ease, as I’m less worried about boring them (if it’s too high level), or seeing their eyes glaze over (if it’s too technical).
The pseudo-incest really wasn't necessary but the rest is really good.
> it's too late. The frame shift is too great for most people

The capacity for the current crop of privacy advocates to make a cogent case it lacking. Peoples’ capacity to recognise and rearrange themselves in defence of a novel threat is not. If anything, our present malaise is one of allergic reactions to phantom threats.
Not really true, just look at the Valorant community. Vanguard (Riot's anti-cheat) has an extremely positive reception, the only real way around it is to use Windows 10 to bypass the secure boot requirements, and they're removing support for that soon. Vanguard is an early kernel mode driver, meaning it's signed by Microsoft and ensures a secure boot using remote attestation, and loads before any cheat kernel driver would be able to.

Some cheaters (I believe the article was recently on HN) use PCI TPM modules that they can modify, but Vanguard is detecting and banning these as well.

Hell most of the Counter-Strike competitive community has abandoned Valve's own VAC anti-cheat for FaceIT, a Windows-only kernel anticheat.

Edit: Since I'm getting downvotes on here, these anti-cheat systems work. Maybe the OS vendor should be responsible for them, but the people that play these games overwhelmingly support kernel-based anti-cheat. If you don't believe me, check out r/valorant, r/globaloffensive (CS2) or just look up any "CS2 Cheating" video on YouTube for long angry rants about Valve's ineffective anti-cheat solution when compared to the competition.
I suppose whether or not these things evaluate anything at all depends on your perspective, but as soon as I asked if it was giving me the correct information, it did actually give me useful information after that without further prompting.
It has about 80k daily active players. That’s enough to place on steams top 10 most of the time.
What is worth repeating this is no different than any other occupied territory in the world or in history. When the US occupied Germany it didn't allow Germans voting rights. When it occupied Japan it didn't give Japanese voting rights. When it occupied Afghanistan or Iraq it didn't give those voting rights either. Puerto Ricans are administered by the US but don't have voting rights.

There is nothing undemocratic about this at all. This is what international law mandates. Israel is prohibited from annexing this territory by said international law. When Israel annexed other occupied territory and gave residents rights (The Golan Heights) the international community refused to accept that.

You can ask why these territories are in this status for this length of time. Part of the reason is that the country it was occupied from, Jordan, does not want it back. Another part is that the Palestinians that live there don't really want this resolved either (at least some really large portion of them). Another part are other external interests that don't want to see this resolved.
Or, you can get an stm32g0 for $2, which is faster, has a modern 32 bit cpu, and has more powerful peripherals.

Snowden has shown us that Microsoft and every other big tech will happily give NSA the keys. Given that OpenAI is fully beholden to Microsoft both in terms of ownership and compute, I have to assume NSA gets whatever they want from OpenAI, directly or through Microsoft.

Now, apps and services are integrating AI like crazy, penetrating just about every type of information, and much of these integrations are sending data to OpenAI, voluntarily. People are sending their private thoughts to OpenAI as they brainstorm, as they write, before fully fledged ideas are even formed. NSA must be enjoying this transparency now.
They turned on native IPv6 end of last year, at least in some areas (including Berkeley where I live). You wouldn't know it from their help pages, but there are some post in the forum to that effect.
Have you run a model on how many mutations are required for sustained transfer? (I have).

I have to say: This attitude that "I'll worry when the system starts crashing" is very un-hacker-like. Aside from dismissing minority hypotheses until disaster strikes, it lacks the ethos of seeing prevention as a valuable investment. In other words, if this were an interview, I would never hire someone who said "I'll worry about it when shit hits the fan".
The word "impossible" here is being used in the political/financial sense, not in the actual "you cannot defy the laws of physics" sense.

It is highly likely that relocation of the existing TSMC infrastructure would be highly disruptive to supply chain, and that yield would plummet even after the protracted complete outage, with risk management over irretrievably broken systems which demands replacement by ASML. Yield is sensitive to things which are very hard to fix. Clean room praxis is a hard discipline. It could take a year or more to get close. If you are apple, and committed to some (fictitious) 0.5nm process, being told it's now 5 years off not 2 because.. well because we broke the Kenwood mixer and we can't find the cap for the egg beater when we moved house would be very.. hard.

TSMC have previously indicated their expectations of work culture are a poor fit for most other economies. That's a strong signal they are not willing to observe local labour board rules about hours, conditions, quite apart from pay. (I read this in a google drive doc which I now can't find. I suspect somebody on the inside wrote it up and it's been submarined)

So be mindful that "impossible" is being used in a complex, high level way, not in a low level "if you move, the six dragons buried under the plant will fly away and take the fairy smoke with them" impossible way.

I would also expect that the Taiwan government has quietly told TSMC to back-pedal on the $b funded relocations: The defence of Taiwan is predicated on many things, not the least of which is the dependency on the chip fab lines in Taiwan.

Intel sacking the entire cohort of Senior Engineers and then finding they had to out source manufacture to TSMC is one of those "we can't remake Apollo 11 because we destroyed the tools and drawings" moments. Grandad now depends on cousin tony's tools to fix his custom car: his own tools are all wrecked and he lost the torque wrench.
I mean, they’re “connected” insofar as they have the potential legal right to move there and acquire citizenship. The question is - is that kind of connection meaningful here?

Speaking personally - I am ethnically Jewish, although I’ve never practiced, and of Polish descent. Technically, if I were to go through the necessary processes, I could acquire citizenship of Israel or Poland. Despite that: I’ve never been to either country, have no known family there, I don’t speak either Hebrew or Polish…the notion that I have any meaningful connection to these foreign countries beyond trivial historical facts is absurd to me. And the idea that, were Poland or Israel to become geopolitical adversaries of Canada, I would be viewed with mistrust, as less Canadian because, through quirks of family history and bureaucracy I’ve been made an offer I never accepted, is pretty disheartening.

At any rate, the upshot of this line of thinking - that we must be wary of Jews with matters of national importance because they are, through no choice of their own, supposedly beholden to a foreign power - is enormously problematic and, yes, anti-Semitic. Similar logic was used to justify Japanese internment camps.
I wish getting and using an IPv6 subnet was like buying a domain name, and that residential ISPs would be required to use your subnet for your service, a bit like portable phone numbers.

The current IP allocation/usage procedures are a bit beyond most people
First yes Manhattan needs some kind of residential parking enforcement. Those of us who live in the congestion zone sometimes need cars. While transit into the center of my city is good, getting to places out of the center or out of the city is much tougher. Bloomberg's original proposal was supposed to exempt residents at least for one crossing round trip per day. This governor blinked as this was going to cause a business slowdown in lower Manhattan. Traffic has already diminished over the last ten months. The issue is the MTA is wildly out of control with insane expenditures. Our last governor showed them up when they had this hair-brained plan to close our L train for over a year, he had experts from Europe come and show that the work could be done much cheaper and dramatically faster than MTA's own plan and that work got done cheaper and faster. I'm OK with congestion pricing for improving traffic and pollution I'm not OK with it subsidizing corrupt crony over priced contractor schemes.
Sure. I'm a Zionist. No problem with that.

And yes, you're totally wrong on that account.
Searching for the "ultimate" note-taking app, after ditching Evernote, I did one of my regular deep dives into open source apps.

TLDR conclusion: All the web apps are going onto a linux system, one of my old intel mac mini's. I'll keep anything that's compiled for mac.

Reason is that to do any development on the mac (they come without python lately), I'd have to install command-line tools and another package manager (i.e. homebrew) and keep them from stepping on each other and me with each OS upgrade.

I did this in the past, but better to use apt!

I like web apps because they give me productivity options when I have a browser open, rather than just my news aggregators, one of which is HN. Web apps are also more suitable for sharing with colleagues, who have varying devices and skill levels.
Yeah these are cool, there is a bunch of info on SpenceKonde's github pages,

https://geospy.ai/ is disturbingly accurate. They sell an API that even returns a street address.

GPT-4o is also terrifyingly good if prompted to think investigatively. I've uploaded a photo of a friend's generic backyard with no text, signs, people, sky, or anything obvious, and it nailed their specific neighborhood. I've even sent it nothing more than a photo of my bathroom (with product labels blacked out) and it still identified sufficient clues to guess a locality within 200 miles of my actual location.

A regular Sherlock Holmes with superhuman levels of world knowledge.
Yup. The whole Diablo series has been ruined by cheating, too. The companies seem sooooo terrified to ban cheaters, and I guess I really don't understand why.
Talk to people. Literally anything that can save people money or effort is worth doing, no matter how niche.

I just spent the morning building a tool that can probably save me and all of my friends hundreds of dollars per year, simply because I asked and gathered information. That scales up!
This is a short-term study covering a couple cites in Denmark. Maybe representative, maybe not, and it doesn’t establish long-term trends.

I feel this isn’t the right point to take pause about “them”.
They _could_ see those things, but they didn’t do anything with them at the scale that’s happening now

Edit: in fact, before widespread TLS practically everybody could see them…

> So if one methodology (Agile) pushes to spend less time on fixed and clear requirements upfront

Fundamental to agile is to have clear requirements, the time is not fixed.

With reference to the quality (scope), time, and cost triangle, each of the major methods picks one point to emphasise, another to fix (not allow to change), and another it manages the change of.

Agile wants speed so time is its emphasis, it does that by fixing cost (over a release period) and allowing changing scope, and it does that by limiting the features that go into a release. That doesn't mean that the features required should be unclear. I will deliver these 5 features out of 30 in the next 2 weeks at X dollars. If one of the features isn't ready, we'll drop it. No, I'm not doing features 6,7,8 till later. Yes, you can change you mind about what you want for later releases.

Lean emphasises quality and fixes cost while allowing time to change. You can get your burger for X dollars but you're 5th in the queue, you'll have to wait.

Traditional is about predictable cost, it (tries to) fixes time and allows change in quality to remain on budget. If everything goes to plan you should come in on time and on budget but maybe with less features or worse features than you wanted.

Of course, we know that traditional done badly produces over-budget, over-time projects that don't do what they were supposed to. It seems that agile methods are being used as cover for bad management because, as this entire thread is evidence of, there is widespread misunderstanding of the basics of project management. If you're going into an "agile" project and the requirements that you have are unclear then you need to kick up a fuss and hold the PM and the product owner to account. They should certainly be clear by the beginning of each sprint.
They didn't control this much wealth because they didn't have any way to create it. "This much wealth" simply didn't exist.

This is my experience too. Just waiting for bzlmod to finally be supported by all the commonly used libraries. Looking at you, gRPC.
Weirdly, the article doesn't give the fixed kernel versions for Ubuntu with the HWE kernel.
It is very likely that you are indeed the only one. "Think of the children" is aimed at eroding privacy while this feature is aimed at increasing it and the goals are diametrically opposite.

I used the spousal example because it was the shortest path between web access and demonstrating potential harm. However, bad browser extensions and stallen credentials can lead to the same result if the attacker is interested in using your history against you.
That sounds like Lean.

It’s dead to me until they only take care of the bots and cheaters but nuke all cunts who defend and refuse to kick said cheaters
> doesn't mean much in a society that has perfected the art of manufacturing consent

Everyone has a snippy argument for why opioid opinion is wrong. I’m not saying, in this case, that the majority is correct. (Nor the inverse.) Just that it is the reason Israel enjoys such support here.

(Would also note that both sides fervently believe the media is conspiring against them.)
>you're probably going to see Israel bombarding Tehran, which could pull in Iraq

Why would Israel bombing Tehran pull in Iraq? Iraq and Iran have never been friends.
And according to recent investigations, we know approximately 70% of those ‘active’ users are actually bots.
But the products we're talking about "paying" for here are continually dropping in price - email, media sharing, social networking, etc.

A basic cloud host that can take care of a whole family can be had for $5/mo. Perhaps that's still too much for your exemplar poor to spend on a hope. But the amount extracted by the surveillance industry is always increasing, and eventually that levee will break.

I'd say there are much bigger impediments - needing to invest time for setup, needing trust a given solution won't turn out to be a lemon or even backfire, and lack of straightforward packageable solutions to many of the technical problems.
Cheaters usually go on to badmouth the game on public forums. Sometimes they will attempt to also seek financial repercussions when denied access to their purchase. It is not common but it does happen, usually the game companies end up settling before the case.
Yeah, but it’s very likely a massive amount of the player count is bots, mostly bots farming for drops at that https://youtu.be/2stmQfv93oQ?si=qaecdQh723xwpr7T

I don't think it's exactly a scam at this point (unless if you mean scamming Upwork or the clients). My guess is that these individuals are located in less favorable countries (ie: Russia) and need a proxy to export their tech skills. Japan sounds less scary than Russia.

> but just ignorant about the legal issues at play here.

The persons have no legal issues. They'll probably ask for their share to be paid in crypto. You have the legal issues but then you will also be getting 50% for doing nothing.
The law likely exempts safety issues that are in the airline's control specifically so that they don't create a culture of pressure to "not notice" safety issues and fly anyways.
While technically trueish, this feels unhelpful as a suggestion.
Uninstall Windows seems like an easier fix.
Assuming you mean "undefined" as "unprovable", this still seems like an extreme stance to me. I also think, even if we had this the next goal-post would be "provenance of the video".
I don't really know if it counts as 'exposing hardware details,' and I may be wrong, but this could be an example of where in their API it does make more sense for Apple Metal being separate.

The example I am thinking of is with MTLBuffers and storage options. You have several different storage options for MTLBuffers that wouldn't necessarily make sense on non-apple hardware and especially non-apple silicon. Options that are not backwards compatible with intel macs. When I go to use MTKTextureLoader with the newTexture command, I can set in the options an MTKTextureLoader.Option.StorageMode as shared storage. On Apple silicon, this means that the it is a shared buffer by both the CPU and GPU since with the apple silicon architecture the came peice of memory can be accessed by both. There are a bunch of different storage options that may not apply to other configurations outside of the Apple silicon configurations.
