The problem with a "persuasion drive" is that there's no consensus on exactly what governments should be trying to persuade people of. Any government message on this topic is sure to face a cynical reception among both sides of the culture war ("they are going too far"/"they are not going far enough").

Propaganda is a blunt tool that works best to consolidate popular public opinion but I suspect it might backfire when used to shape opinion in the first place.

We are obviously thinking about that. VTOL capability makes our aircraft a bit more safe - it can literally land anywhere but water. And there’s probably a way to make it float two.
But! Air is not an easier environment, it’s just different. With lot’s of limitation, both natural and regulation. My good friend is developing an automation suite for small aircraft and he’s dampened my optimism significantly! But still, It is the way to go, it’s just not as easy as it might seem.
Reading Apache Iceberg Data with Sling
> Apparently there’s more cause, effect, and sequencing in diffusion models than what I expected

To temper this a bit, you may want to pay close attention to the demo videos. The player rarely backtracks, and for good reason - the few times the character does turn around and look back at something a second time, it has changed significantly (the most noticeable I think is the room with the grey wall and triangle sign).

This falls in line with how we'd expect a diffusion model to behave - it's trained on many billions of frames of gameplay, so it's very good at generating a plausible -next- frame of gameplay based on some previous frames. But it doesn't deeply understand logical gameplay constraints, like remembering level geometry.
im not sure how any of that refutes my statement that i find a "roleplay" of gaza cituation that excludes jewish perspective duplicitous

and what does being horrified with the goings on in gaza have to do with anything?
let me assure you there are plenty of israeli citizens who are equally horrified, yet should probably be included in a "roleplay" that purports to represent the conflict
The concept is that if you train a Diffusion model by feeding all the possible frames seen in the game.

The training was over almost 1 billion frames, 20 days of full-time play-time, taking a screenshot of every single inch of the map.

Now you show him N frames as input, and ask it "give me frame N+1", then it gives you the frame n. N+1 back based on how it was originally seen during training.

But it is not frame N+1 from a mysterious intelligence, it's simply frame N+1 given back from past database.

The drift you mentioned is actually a clear (but sad) proof that the model does not work at inventing new frames, and can only spit out an answer from the past dataset.

It's a bit like if you train stable diffusion on Simpsons episodes, and that it outputs the next frame of an existing episode that was in the training set, but few frames later goes wild and buggy.

This is one reason why cluster bombs are banned (albeit that's ignored) and why anti-personnel mines should be banned (there's the Ottawa treaty but the bigger forces like the US, Russia, China, India and Pakistan have not signed it).

Interesting, now I feel like an idiot. I had assumed cargo check performs a superset of cargo build (as in, lint checks/etc) but looking at the docs you’re right, it does seem to be aimed at doing exactly what I describe, skipping final compilation steps and just checking if the code has errors.

The big difference is that black people didn't "reclaim" the "N"-word slur, we always used it, it just doesn't mean the same thing when we say it to each other*. Now, the internet and the media spend a lot of effort to keep us from saying it.

In the case of "queer", it seems that even straight people somehow got to reclaim it, everybody is throwing it around, and that a large number of gay people don't like it at all.

I’ll have to see how much this affects my work loop but it’s definitely worth trying.
Newcomers definitely make naive assumptions, Chesterton's fence etc.

I'm not a newcomer though, I've worked on both cheats and anti-cheats going back more than two decades. I know how the sausage is made and it's not pretty.

The anti-cheat companies you talk about mostly sell a mass produced product that works very similarly to anti-virus software. Games embed the anti-cheat module and its cheat definitions get updated. Statistical analysis requries both knowledge of the specific game and access to its database. Often also additional game programming to even store the crucial data. A bespoke solution. This can't be mass produced and is expensive, so most games don't have it.

So to bring it back to the newcomer question, I thought this would work, why doesn't it?, the answer is that game companies don't want to spend the money. [1] A classic answer to most annoyances in life, really.

---

[1] An interesting outlier is the online gambling industry, especially online poker. They spend way more money than non-gambling game developers and have much more sophisticated anti-cheat systems, including statistical analysis. It's also fun to see how techniques used to get around online poker anti-cheat detection slowly make their way into mainstream gaming with a delay of about 15 years or so. As a simple example, nobody serious was even running their code on the same system as the game client back in 2005, instead parsing the video signal and simulating HID inputs. [2] Took more than a decade to see popular cheats for regular games go to that length to avoid detection. Not because the cheat developers were less capable, but because the anti-cheats didn't warrant the investment.

[2] Thus taking the battle almost completely to the statistical analysis realm. Are your mouse movements random enough, with good jitter? Does your bot take belivable micro breaks? Does your average performance, including reaction times, degrade at the end of a long session as you get more tired? Et cetera.
Do you have a good resource to read up on that?
I would say blockchains fit this definition. What I get away from that is that this definition is not restrictive enough.

Similarly, a list of operations with Lamport timestamps fits this definition. However, just like the blockchain, it makes no effort to preserve user intent.

To go to an extreme, a merge operation which replaces the current content with the empty string, is a CRDT per this definition.
It is not perfect, there are issue depending if you need 32 or64 bits or if you need .net4 or greater.

We present GameNGen, the first game engine powered entirely by a neural model that enables real-time interaction with a complex environment over long trajectories at high quality.
The game doom is more than a game engine, isnt it? I‘d be okay with calling the above a „simulated game“ or a „game“. My point is: let‘s not conflate the idea of a „game engine“ which is a construct of intellectual concepts put together to create a simulation of „things happening in time“ and deriving output (audio and visual). the engine is fed with input and data (levels and other assets) and then drives(EDIT) a „game“.

training the model with a final game will never give you an engine. maybe a „simulated game“ or even a „game“ but certainly not an „engine“. the latter would mean the model would be capable to derive and extract the technical and intellectual concepts and apply them elsewhere.

the neural net doesn't need a year of video to train to simulate your face; it can do that from a single photo. the year of video is to learn how to play the game, and in most cases lots of people are playing the same game, so you can dump all their video in the same training set

Good plan! Now tell us how you will do it. (Also clearly you are misunderstanding even the problem. The problem was that the range estimate was NOT derived from fuel sensors.)

The shift is slow, but it has been ongoing for years, and is pretty much wrapping up now. .NET 5 was released in November, 2020 and that was the "beginning of the end" of the shift over.

For what I do, it's not really "Windows development" in any meaningful way. It is business functionality with HTTP, message queues etc, developed on mostly Windows laptops, and deployed to mostly Linux instances on the cloud. Not that the host OS is something that we have to think about often.

For this, .NET 3.x "the full framework windows only version" services are regarded as very much legacy, and I wouldn't go near one without a plan to migrate to a modern .NET version.

However, YMMV and people are also making windows desktop apps and everything else.

> Vaccine hesitancy and general distrust of 'big pharma' started in left wing, hippy / naturalist culture in the 1970s.

This just isn’t true. Groups of people suspicious about medical treatment for religious reasons predate the 1970s considerably, and the antivax movement was famously an example of fringe right-wing and fringe left-wing people finding common cause.

> It's only very recently that the media has attempted to flip the script to say that Trump or right wingers are pro Russia.

This similarly betrays deep historical ignorance. Russia isn’t a communist state, it’s run by an oligarchy of rich white men who have beliefs about race, gender, and sexuality which have a lot in common with those of the people they make common cause with.

> And someone who spent their fortune and life focus on fighting climate change through the EV car revolution is somehow right wing?

He didn’t spend a fortune, he made one by sagely taking advantage of government subsidies and market demand. There’s nothing wrong with that but it’s hardly selfless to make yourself fabulously rich and there’s no evidence that he’s a climate activist in areas which don’t directly benefit his wealth. As to his political leanings, what makes him a right-winger is his years of support and endorsement of right wing positions and politicians.

I don't think the point is to argue anti-cheat isn't effective, the point is to draw a line in the sand and say, this is where it stops.

Take the analogy of enabling better police work by granting unlimited access to our private communications. No one doubts it would be effective, but the cost and the threat is too much.

This is the line we draw in the sand: get out of the kernel, anti-cheat has no business being there. The cost and threat are too great.

This acceptance is the same situation that brought us the Crowdstrike incident. It's unacceptable.

We fail as an industry and as a society when we accept these compromises.
