One thing I don't understand and I would really appreciate if someone could explain this to me.

Why do we need separate anti-cheat programs? Can't the operating systems simply have an option when creating a process that prevents all operations looking at the memory of the process (and maybe if such a process is about to be launched the user has to explicitly accept that by clicking a button)? Wouldn't that stop almost all the cheats without needing separate anti cheat programs, since I assume those programs have to use OS facilities to mess with the game anyway.
If you have 100M in unrealized capital gains it should be no big deal to sell some of those gains to cover the tax. Just convert the shares to non voting shares if you want to keep control.
Reading the charges, one jump to my mind as being scary:

"Importation d'un moyen de cryptologie n'assurant pas exclusivement des fonctions d'authentification ou de contrôle d'intégrité sans déclaration préalable."

- Import of a cryptographic mean that does not exclusively perform authentication or integrity control functions without prior declaration.

This to me is a deeply disturbing charge, would that mean that using full disk encryption I'd be liable to be charged with that? Did the maintainers of LUKS do a prior declaration? If not are they likely to be charged if they ever travel to France?

After all, I can fully imagine a server being seized in a data center being encrypted with LUKS. In that case, is it the fault of the maintainers?
I don't do drugs, mmm-nnn.
@Animats, you’re spot on about the two main issues—visibility hacks and aimbots. The concept of hiding enemy positions server-side through occlusion culling does present a performance challenge, but it’s essential to balance between ensuring fair play and maintaining server efficiency. And you're right; the rise of external programs that can interpret video output makes preventing aimbots significantly harder.
Why are you so oddly fixated on SLS? SLS is a launch vehicle for Orion. What is needed is a replacement for Orion so NASA can ditch SLS.

The only alternative to Orion is to use a capsule to LEO, transfer crew to a second fully fueled Starship, dock with HLS in NRHO, do the landing and come back, dock with the crew Starship and then do a deceleration burn, dock in LEO with the capsule and then return to earth.

Why? Because the lunar Starship doesn't have enough delta V to return LEO and landing crew on earth via aerobraking is too risky at lunar return velocities. If you want to do aerobraking, you're back to Orion.

Fundamentally speaking, the problem is that SpaceX hasn't built a moon optimized upper stage. Someone needs to build a crew transporter that is optimized for LEO -> NRHO -> LEO, like the cislunar transporter, but that one only carries fuel to NRHO.
your point about "chronus" or auto recoil adjust cheats is a perfect example of how cheats evolve to bypass detection. By modifying controller inputs at the hardware level, it’s nearly impossible for traditional anti-cheat software to identify such exploits. It shows that as long as there is an incentive, people will find creative ways to gain an advantage, often blurring the line between legitimate skill and unfair advantage.
I think moving forward, a hybrid approach is essential—one that leverages both server-side logic to prevent information leaks and robust client-side monitoring that can detect anomalous behavior patterns. Perhaps more sophisticated machine learning models that analyze player behavior in real-time could help in distinguishing between legitimate skill and enhanced performance due to cheats. It's a constantly evolving battle, and staying one step ahead is always going to be a challenge.

Would love to hear more thoughts on how to effectively balance these aspects without compromising the player experience!
Okay, why don’t we also waste money on bullshit like proving that tylenol increases intelligence (if you measure IQ tests on people with headaches)? It is just as useless. It was known that dewormers.. deworm.

There are zero new info in studies like that (unless you believe every logical conclusion requires a new study? If A is proved, should we separately prove A or B or what?), and they can’t even shut up all the idiots that still go on about ivermectin, so not even that goal is achieved..

>I allowed for some overhead, but even ifyou double or quadruple the space requirement, it's abundantly clear that space isn't an issue.

I think you'd have to more than quadruple the space, but sure, I do agree humans don't absolutely need to be spread across the world. Still, I think you're discounting things like resource extraction (mines), but I guess since people don't normally live in such places we can ignore those.

Personally I have wondered sometimes what the world would look like if almost everyone concentrated into cities laid out like Tokyo (i.e. very dense, and not very car-friendly). There'd probably be a lot of abandoned places.

>There are greenhouses and hydroponics - we would never spontaneously concentrate ourselves like this but if we did mass hydroponics and vertical farming would suddenly become much more economical.

Forgive me for not knowing that much about agriculture, but are greenhouses and hydroponics really viable for growing enough food for all of humanity? (Of course, they wouldn't be much help for growing livestock or seafood.) And has anyone really shown vertical farming to be viable? It looks like a nice idea in theory but seems to require advances in robotics to be economically feasible.

>Ontario happens to have an absolute crapton of water - 20% of the world total. But that doesn't matter. Water goes in a cycle.

Ontario might be OK here, but a lot of cities really do face freshwater shortages, for instance in the American southwest and Los Angeles. Of course, it'd help if people didn't use so much water for their lawns...

Someone who has no knowledge of a domain but proposes solutions under the implication that there is a simple solution that they are oh so clever to have instantly discovered. It takes a lot of time and effort to explain “no you can not just” to someone who doesn’t have the pre-requisite knowledge.
Personally, I never got into the art of LARP, even though TTRPGs took me hostage in the '90s, the first time around when I took hold of a box of Cyberpunk 2020, and the Stockholm syndrome never faded, because designing, running, and playing long-form campaigns is one happy sanctuary. That branched out to computer games, but let's not digress.

We had Vampire LARPS in Finland from way back in the early 2000's and possibly earlier than that, but i only played in the tabletop with some people who on the side were keen on boffering battles and the political campaigning pertaining to the World of Darkness.

> Is there any similar view on sword and sorcery larp scene? One of my projects wants to drink from that, but I have little real knowledge about it and wouldn't like to disrespect larping.

If you can elaborate on this, i could maybe give more substantial advice, but personally, i’ve seen most fantasy LARPers take it to the streets and wilderness, and even our backyard, although it was rare that i would run into a group when taking the dog out or out hiking. Only the most bohemian of gatekeepers would take offense at your approach to the hobby.

That’s why I’m asking. Technical issues are easy.

What if you make call from north korean eez? Or some contested border? Or even international waters - there is cost attached to it (monitoring, translation, coordination, etc) - by buying PLB you are supporting the operation around it.
That's why I said the user has to explicitly accept that.
Hmmm, can't see any mentions of fwknop https://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/
More and more proof is coming out that Pavel Durov has secretly traveled to Russia more than 60 times between 2014 to 2021. If so, it's close to impossible that he does not cooperate with RU security services. It's either co-operation or he'd be kaput.

Furthermore, after his failure with his crypto project in the United States, he returned to his homeland, and the Kremlin immediately "unblocked" Telegram. The next day, Durov promised investors to pay off the debts. Quite a coincidence.

Telegram also has taken down various channels from one side of the global conflict and not others. For example, he took down the channel of Iranians protesting against the dictatorship in 2017, but he refuses to take down the channels that sell child *pornography, drug$, human trafficking, or Ru$$ians posting videos of beheading Ukrainian POWs, etc.

This whole situation is really complicated, to say the least. Freedom of speech is paramount, but in times of global information warfare, it's not really possible to stay neutral as the owner of the top communication platform. Especially given the horrific stuff that’s being done on this platform.

He says he is neutral, but the facts indicate that it's not quite true. And it’s understandable from the aspect that his life is probably at risk if he doesn’t cooperate. So, it seems he's just trying to navigate a delicate balance, maneuvering between conflicting pressures. Prison is not great, even if it’s French, but Europe is less likely to give him novichok tea, so he apparently chose to work with the other side.
> winter is when SARS-CoV-2 and flus are so contagious

Influenza may be a seasonal virus, but SARS-CoV-2 is not. There can be and in fact are "summer waves" driven by new variants, not weather.

Source e.g.

"Covid-19 doesn't follow normal seasonal patterns, like other respiratory viruses – waves of infection can happen at any time of year."
Could a similar scheme be used to drastically improve the visual quality of a video game? You would train the model on gameplay rendered at low and high quality (say with and without ray tracing, and with low and high density meshing), and try to get it to convert a quick render into something photorealistic on the fly.

When things like DALL-E first came out, I was expecting something like the above to make it into mainstream games within a few years. But that was either too optimistic or I'm not up to speed on this sort of thing.

What is nice about VAT is that you can tax different goods differently. You can have low VAT on essentials, which everyone - poor or rich - needs, but have higher tax on luxury items. In that respect, it is similar to a progressive tax, except harder to avoid - even an ultra rich who has "no income" buys stuff.

Except of course there are gaping loopholes, for example businesses are effectively exempt from VAT, also you can buy stuff abroad where VAT is lower.

> But are cheaters even an issue in unpopular games

Yes. Every game has cheats. The cheat packages are pretty easy to adapt to new games and people pay money for them.

Why do people cheat? Because it’s fun! If you’ve never cheated it’s honestly worth trying. It’s hilarious. It also utterly ruins the game for everyone else in the lobby.

If games had reliable anti-cheat you’d be shocked at the percentage of lobbies that have a cheater. It’s wildly rampant.

It could if the hardware allowed such separation, but the x86 platform doesn't do anything close to that and allows reading memory of other processes in so many different ways in both userspace and kernel. Not to forget hardware being able to read memory via DMA that many use now.
Mechanical engineer turned software engineer here; I love this kind of stuff and I frequently wonder how I might apply my software expertise to that domain again. Amongst other things I worked in automotive and the components I worked on were forged and heat treated high strength steels. The defects in forged components are often very small (tens of microns) but I'd be curious if this could work there. We used powerful microscopes - including electron microscopes - on the production lines so maybe that would work?

At Amazon, that would be called Unregretted Attrition.

So, teams are known to hire people, fully expecting to turn around and fire them before the end of the year. That way, they can provide the churn that is required, without actually losing any of the people they might want to keep.

I didn’t actually see that on either of the teams I worked on, but I certainly heard plenty about it.

It is not money in first place... Wealth is kinda imaginary, a dream that most people believe in. Whole financial system is set up so that as long as numbers keep going up there is more money appearing... Unrealized gains. Commercial real-estate and home values. All of these are wealth. Most of them still go up in value thus in "wealth".

It's even worse, since they dropped the core now and just call it .NET.
So searching has become even more of a pain.
It's also pretty much a mess, because many things were different between the versions.

So let's say you google how to do something and the result could be:

- .NET Framework
- .NET core 1
- .NET core 2
- .NET core 2.1
- .NET core 3
- .NET 5+

Many times there will be no clear indication what version the result was built on.

My understanding is that it's popular now to use rollbacks in fighting games (in combination with delays so the rollback doesn't get too far). Perhaps something like that would be useful, though of course that would depend on the game (and how much data it needs to send between players).
The article is currently not responding so I can't see if this is covered, but a bigger problem is the volunteer answerers. Some left when the site was sold, many remained with a wait-and-see stance and are going due to licensing changes (https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/401324/announcing-a...).

Obviously people asking LLMs instead is an important factor, as are unverified (often not entirely correct) answers from those using LLMs to gain Internet points.

I think someday, almost all aimbots will be undetectable by anti-cheat systems.

Thanks to the neural network, we have made enormous progress in the computer vision domain. As a byproduct, it invalidates the method we use to separate machines from humans (the image-based CAPTCHAs).

I guess aimbots will switch to CV-based systems to detect enemies rather than dumping game memory to find the enemy's position. This change will force anti-cheat systems to perform an automated Turing test, which is hard. (Telling the bot and human apart only by watching the replay is much more challenging compared to the above CAPTCHA problem. And we are currently losing at the CAPTCHA frontline, too.)

Q: so apparently allowing LLMs to “think” by asking it to walk through and generate preamble tokens to an answer improves quality.
