I'm reasonably certain Reddit's decision to ban /r/jailbait and the like was driven by business/reputation. It was widely discussed for some time before it was banned and, IIRC given a "worst of" award by the admins at one point. Once it got major media coverage, Reddit got its first real content policy.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. Apply to work at one of these companies and let them know they're doing anti-cheat all wrong.
Edges are cool. But they do have a dark side, often forgotten when talked about in public.

I have once been on the edge of chaos for too long and eventually when it flipped over it took years to recover. Possibly even decades. Or possibly a lifetime.
I think it’s less about not knowing what a bookmark is and more about just having a more direct way to access it, where it’s more high-level than just in a tab. There’s just something mentally different about opening a program from your dock as opposed to from a tab, even if they’re both basically a website.
Correct. 1000% correct. This is also how you build community.

Also the f2p model isn't doing us any favors by making new accounts cost zero, though iirc cheats can cost like $100/mo so I assume dedicated cheaters would still cheat if games all cost money.
> wait a few hours

Indeed. When was the last time you left your nonstick pan sitting on a cooktop with nothing in it, for hours?

If you're the kind of person to leave empty pans burning for that long, I'd be more worried about cognitive decline and/or the risk you'll die in a fire of your own making.
I believe multi-motor EVs sometimes tune the motors to different uses, switching between one or the other (or both) to provide a similar effect as a gear shift.

There is. At least two, actually.

1. Allow community-hosted servers, as were common 20 years ago. These can be moderated with greater attention than a massive global server, and tend to eject cheaters quickly.

2. Server-side analysis. This is arguably more expensive to implement than forcing every player to accept a rootkit, but machine learning might reduce the cost. Moreover, it is more effective in at least one dimension: it can't be circumvented* like a rootkit can.

I don't miss that power. I remember having to modify some template heavy code and it brought me to the verge of madness. :)
I try not to think about the collective time and frustration lost to companies wanting their native apps to be "on brand" and cross-platform consistent rather than native. A bunch of extra work to make it that way. A bunch of extra work to maintain it, any place dumb "look and feel" shit like specially-animated buttons or whatever made it fragile. Then on the other side, 99% of the time it's worse to use than if they'd at least mostly stuck with native widgets, so wastes time and causes frustration among users, and then there's the special case of that for accessibility, which is often a true shit-show.

All because the marketing suite can't stand not getting their fingers in something. I want to see the fucking study that says having the buttons on iOS the same shape as the ones on the website adds any number of dollars to the bottom line. C'mon, this is important enough to spend a bunch of money on, slow development, and also make UX worse, must have a good reason for it, right? Surely it's not just an exec who's never done the actual job pushing things for vanity purposes, or a variety of roles padding their portfolios, or needing to market this to toddler-like C-suiters inside the company on some damn powerpoint, right? LOL.
I find myself being unable to search for more complex subjects when I don't know the keywords, specialized terminology, or even the title of a work, yet I have a broad understanding of what I'd like to find. Traditional search engines (I'll jump between Kagi, DuckDuckGo, and Google) haven't proved as useful at pointing me in the right direction when I find that I need to spend a few sentences describing what I'm looking for.

LLMs on the other hand (free ChatGPT is the only one I've used for this, not sure which models) give me an opportunity to describe in detail what I'm looking for, and I can provide extra context if the LLM doesn't immediately give me an answer. Given LLM's propensity for hallucinations, I don't take its answers as solid truth, but I'll use the keywords, terms, and phrases in what it gives me to leverage traditional search engines to find a more authoritative source of information.

---

Separately, I'll also use LLMs to search for what I suspect is obscure-enough knowledge that it would prove difficult to wade through more popular sites in traditional search engine results pages.
They did that for a year with the Maverick.

The refresh jacked up the price, because, well, they can.

This is North America. With the exception of a few relatively small metro areas, if you live in the US or Canada, you must own a car in order to survive. They've got it; you need it. Pay up.

There's also the impact of CAFE rules. "Let the market sort it out" types often point to these as perverse incentives ruining the profitability of small trucks, but they forget that the automakers lobbied for the light truck exemption.

They said it'd be $40k. They currently 'start at' $63k - assuming you can even get those basic models now.
I'd be happy to have another Google clone, that doesn't have a login and is not a chat session. Go to https://search.ai , type my search query and look through the results, with ads on the side.
Yup, failed on the first try.

Refresh the page and it worked.

> Icons were high contrast

Seriously. Who demonized having legible color icons in exchange for blurry grayscale icons?
Oh, you are right, apologies. You can get a pretty nice 27" 4K IPS monitor for less than $250, but not from Apple. Would probably depend on whether your eyes are good enough to tell the difference between 163 ppi and Apple's practically proprietary 218.
.... Test sites for the blocklist? What?

Also they do share the most blocked/raised/lowered etc sites: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard

We've had this problem of "good defaults" before with ad trackers blocking domains. I'm sure it'll be Sooner than later when some community lists become popular and begin being followed en mass
Speaking as a 40 year old card carrying old man you are wrong. Cheating was never fun except maybe for the cheater.
Interesting video, but it doesn't even attempt to answer the question. Seems you are just offering Google services here.
I need macOS for work. Now that the writing is on the wall for Hackintosh (which I used to do regularly while purchasing a Mac every few years, most recently in 2023 and 2018, because I love that choice), I don't have a choice. I used to spend 10-20 hours per third party machine for that choice.

I don't truly mind that they solder on the SSD, embed the controller into the processor -- you're right that it's great we have choice here. I mind the exuberant repair cost _on top of_ Apple's war on third party repair. Apple is the one preventing me to have choice here, I have to do the repair through them, or wait until schematics are smuggled out of China and used/broken logic boards are available so that the repair costs what it should: $300 to replace 2 chips on my logic board (still mostly labor, but totally a fair price).

I love Apple for their privacy focus and will continue to support them because I need to do Mac and iOS development, but I will likely stop buying mobile workstations from them for this reason, the risk of repair is simply much higher and not worth this situation.
It's cool that there's a chat interface in addition to the PR's. I find that for most reviews a little bit of back and forth is helpful.
Ah, that touches on something I would call the journey of becoming a designer; most people just don’t have much experience in designing things supposed to be used by other people.

This fundamental distinction between creating how something looks and how it works may help at the beginning, with some experience, you’ll hopefully get to a stage where design and functionality come together as one. Designing a thing purely from a visual perspective brings its own dangers, like including stuff that only looks good, but doesn’t work well. That isn’t good design. Design is about things that look good because they fulfil their intended purpose well.
From what I can tell you're right, it's essentially a web front end made to compete with ChatGPT's desktop app.

The only real benefit is the hotkey (ctrl + alt + space) for starting a new prompt when the window is closed, but still running in the background.
You drive 30+ hours round trip to avoid 6 hours of flying? Sure, add on a bunch of hours to get to and through the airports, it's still not close.
I know you're not saying anything revolutionary but this is the best succinct yet fair description of these tools that I've seen. They're not worthless but they're not job destroying.
The "forgotten" part isn't Einstein's proposal, but the semiclassical suggestion of how to avoid it. Have you seen that part commonly retold? I haven't.
It's foolish and backwards to expect families to make rational decisions. Nearly every sociological and behavioral study has proven this.

Toxicity studies like this, which quickly make national headlines, will only result in deterring people from cooking at home. It's like the 1 or 2 stories of poisoned Halloween candy that killed community trick-or-treating

Look at the actual health outcomes in the USA. Black spatulas are not a big problem. People are eating out at tremendous cost to their welfare -- the food is toxic, they eat too much of it, and it's 5x too expensive.

Kurzgesagt: We Fell for the Oldest Lie on the Internet [video]
You've probably heard the claim that if all of your blood vessels were set in a line they would reach 60,000 miles/100,000km (or twice around the world).

It's so ubiquitous you can find that trivia in numerous places, from blogs and articles to books, webpages of educational institutions and scientific papers.

But where did it come from ? And is it true ?

This video is about Kurzgesagt and their year-long journey to find the original-original source.
Three things:
1. It is a very expensive vehicle.
2. Towing reduces the range substantially.
3. Charging infrastructure needs to be more reliable and we need much more of it. There are times when you won't charge at home.

ZFS has gotten significantly better at 80%, but 90% is painful enough that I almost wish it would reserve 10% a bit more explicitly (maybe like the old Unix systems that would prevent non-root users from using the last 5% of the root partition).

All my arrays send me nightly e-mails at 80% so I'm aware of when I hit there, but on a desktop system that's typically not the case.
Genuine answer: this was not made for you. There is a billion-to-trillion dollar addressable market, which you're not a part of. It was made for them.

> You drive 30+ hours round trip to avoid 6 hours of flying?

Lots of people do. If you are making $60K a year (the median in the US - half of employed people make less), and you have 3 children and live in California, what's your plan to visit relatives in, say, Nebraska? Buy 10 plane tickets? Driving the 2,600 miles both ways, at 25 MPG, will cost you "only" $320 round trip.
Self-interested hyperbole aside, I think that’s a laughably low number for what is now effectively an ‘AI Company’. I’m sure >95% of Google employees use Google (well, at least until recent years).

If this stuff really works as well as these companies claim it does, wouldn’t their entire workforce excitedly be using these tools already?
This may be the nostalgia factor, but XP was genuinely one of the best operating systems I've ever run.

I had the "Student Edition" and you could trim down all the services to the point that you would have a running OS using just 18 processes. Linux at the time could not compete with that. (Of course, things have changed a lot since then).

The FGC has a really interesting history with online play. Besides having a long tradition of in-person PvP in arcades, online fighting games were largely unplayable until the mid-late 2010s until GGPO/rollback[0] became popular. For a long, long time, the FGC largely (and rightfully) didn't see online play as legitimate.

Now rollback is basically standard and you do see competitive tournaments happening online frequently. Obviously the big events like EVO are still offline, but you could say the same about the majors for DotA, LoL, even Brood War, which are all very "online-first" games.

What I really hope this helps solve is covering for the huge lag in knowledge cutoff. A recent example is where it went "oh you're using Go 1.23 which doesn't exist so that's clearly the problem in your Dockerfile, let me fix that".

But I'm not keeping my hopes up, I doubt the model has been explicitly fine-tuned to double check its embedded knowledge of these types of facts, and conversely it probably hasn't even been successfully fine-tuned to only search when it truly doesn't know something (i.e. it will probably search in cases where it could've just answered without the search). At least the behavior I'm seeing now from some 15 minutes of testing indicates this, but time will tell.
Using search with log-in is pretty big red flag for me.
An overwhelming majority of players (not the noisy ones on internet forums) prefer anti cheat and don't care about the details of how the software is installed.
> Chain of thought is like trying to improve JPG quality by re-compressing it several times. If it's not there it's not there.

Empirically speaking, I have a set of evals with an objective pass/fail result and a prompt. I'm doing codegen, so I'm using syntax linting, tests passing, etc. to determine success. With chain-of-thought included in the prompting, the evals pass at a significantly higher rate. A lot of research has been done demonstrating the same in various domains.

If chain-of-thought can't improve quality, how do you explain the empirical results which appear to contradict you?
How is that relevant? Microsoft bought OpenAI, didn't create it by R&D, so the assertion stands: giants don't do new things, for whatever reason.
I think this is just the first step for a full-featured agent that not only does searches for you, but also executes whatever was your goal (e.g. a restaurant reservation, etc)
chatgpt has that shortcut too.

Bottles is a good one.
Yep, you're getting it. That same universal principle where the interesting things all happen in that boundary between boring and random (ie. trivially-predictable, and not-predictable-under-any-conditions).

If you haven't already, I heartily recommend James Gleick's book "Chaos" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos:_Making_a_New_Science) which is, to me, the introduction to both self similarity and sensitive dependence on initial conditions.

I've always thought that the name is very ironic and perhaps "certitude" would've been a better name.
The issue you're missing is the scale of the cheating.

When it is some small percentage of games you might shrug, hope you don't run into the cheater again, and move on to the next game where nobody is cheating. A few matches of your day get ruined but you still get to enjoy >95% of them so it's overall still a good experience. It has a very small impact on your enjoyment but you can move on and still enjoy most of your time.

It becomes a problem when there are so many cheaters that you encounter one in nearly every single game you play. Making it nearly impossible to play or win because the aim botting, wall hacking, infinite ammo, one-hit-kill, teleporting, invincible hacker is mowing down you and your entire team and the round ends in a few minutes. Except now it is 5 out of every 6 games you play and you hardly get to enjoy playing.

Additionally, back in the day you could leave matches without really getting punished for it. If you encountered an obvious hacker you could just leave and rejoin a new game. Now you get punished for leaving matches and might have to sit out a 15-60 minute timer if you leave too many games. Mix that with some high percentage of cheaters and you might be sitting in lobby waiting to play the game more than you're actually playing the game.

Let's say you enjoy playing Chess. How long would you enjoy playing against Alpha Zero - especially when expecting to play against someone your own ELO? At what ratio of playing against people cheating with Alpha Zero would you stop bothering to try and play Chess? I could tolerate it occasionally but if every single person I was playing against was just using Alpha Zero I'd stop trying to play Chess at all. It's no fun to lose every single time because the other person is always cheating.
I dunno, I'm not exactly on the AI bandwagon, but search is the one place where I use (and see others using) chatgpt all the time. The fact that Google search has been getting worse for a decade probably helps, but better search -- consistently done, without ads or cruft -- would be worth a few bucks every month for me.

I agree that you can't TRUST them, but half the links regular search turns up are also garbage, so that's not really worse, per se.
Pretty much any heating element setting will take a pan to 450 degrees. Do people do it? - I doubt the parent commenter is lying about their bird.

You basically let your guest OS use your GPU instead of the host.
Even if you are good at writing the queries, Google is so terrible that you end up getting some blogspam etc. in there (or at least I do). A model filtering that out is useful, which I find phind pretty good for. Hopefully this will be even better.
Hi DannyBee - I’m a Teknic application engineer and I just came across your post. I appreciate your kind words about Teknic!

I agree from a long term prospect point of view.

They are so vertically integrated, control much of their supply chain, and are not hamstrung by an increasingly erratic and irrational CEO.

Test drove both Model 3 Performance and BYD Seal Performance both before settling on a Tesla, it was close. Price wise about 20% cheaper (I am in a country that does not put tariffs on BYD).

But currently, the BYD software is….. not great, comparatively. The cars are decently made though, and look pretty good. Drive ok, but M3P is a much sharper drive.

Another vehicle generation of improvement though, Tesla would need to watch their backs.
I think it’s pretty clear that LLMs can process a document/article/web page faster than any human in order to answer a given question. (And it can be parallelized across multiple pages at once too).

The main hard part of searching isn’t formulating queries to write in the Google search bar, it’s clicking on links, and reading/skimming until you find the specific answer you want.

Getting one sentence direct answers is a much superior UX compared to getting 10 links you have to read through yourself.

> And yet jaywalking accounts for the majority of pedestrian deaths, despite being a fraction of the number of crossings.

This is simply false.

While most pedestrian deaths happen on open roadways (with a 3:1 ratio), that isn't the same thing as jay walking. Indeed, most of these fatalities involve people on the side of the road, usually in the dark.

Most pedestrian deaths happen at night. This is when it is easiest to see cars coming and avoid getting hit when crossing, (atleast if the cars have their lights on, which is frequently not the case).

Most pedestrian deaths happen in areas with no sidewalk. If there's no sidewalk, then there isn't going to be a safe option to cross.

Are there any other VC firms than A16Z that post market research in their blog?
A16Z sometimes posts market insights on their blog. Here's one titled: "How are consumers using Generative AI?", link: https://a16z.com/how-are-consumers-using-generative-ai/

and that post is full of useful data on Gen AI consumer apps, like how many monthly visits top 10 sites have, mobile vs web Gen AI apps, etc. etc.

Are there any other VC firms that also do these type of blog posts, that anyone can read for free? I'm mainly interested in VR, btw.
We were reluctant to add a chat interface at first tbh, but there were so many real-world cases where a single-pass interaction just wasn't enough. Debugging logs is another case.

I use GPT for things that would require multiple Google searches (research). Some examples..

- I count calories... eat out always and at somewhat healthy chains (Cava, Chipolte, etc). Tell GPT (via voice while driving to & or after eating) what ive eaten half the day at those places and then later for dinner. It calculates a calorie count estimation for half the day and then later at dinner the remaining. I have checked to see if GPT is getting the right calories for things off websites and it has.

- Have hiking friends who live an hour or two hours away and we hike once a month an hour or less drive is where we meet up and hike at a new place. GPT suggests such hikes and quickly (use to take many searches on Google to do such). Our drives to these new hikes learned from GPT have always been under an hour.

So far the information with those examples has been accurate. Always enjoy hearing how others use LLMs... what research are you getting done in one or two queries which used to take MANY google searches?
Cheating would help in fighting games mostly by just having a bot play the game. No way a human can compete with a computer that always has frame-perfect inputs.
Is it? Why?

There are a lot of things for people to think about.
