>no, you can't completely solve this server side

This is what every dev who can't be bothered to implement relevancy filters says when their server broadcasts the locations of every hidden player to every other player every tick and wallhacks drop a week later

Exactly what can't be fixed server side? Are you just talking about aimbots and other situations where script kiddies can trivially author bots that generate optimal inputs? Because at a certain point that's more a problem with shitty, boring game design that got stale 20 years ago; if the top of your game's execution ceiling is "can the player click on heads perfectly" you have bigger problems

Visits from Google to one of my independent sites have been about the same in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Visits to another have roughly doubled from year to year. I don't use Google Search or surveillance ads but I don't have the issue that they report.

AyyEye's observation that their site is loaded with trackers and what look a lot like affiliate marketing links is one reason why Google Search might not like it any more.
I wonder how feasible that is without leveraging one of the two existing search engines in the backend. I always pitted a general search engine as a top 5 difficult tech project to go for.

The magic leap has a much narrower FOV, it's bulkier, and has a wired connection. The Orion are wireless, have a wider FOV, and are slimmer.
Ctrl+F'd for Perplexity. I knew Google was cooked the minute Perplexity worked better for questions about an obscure embedded systems SDK. It has little documentation, but a lot of mailing list and github issues. Google spits out the front page of the project and shrugs; Perplexity actually answers the question. The usual caveats for LLM hallucination apply.
> What I can't wrap my head around is that making good, efficient software doesn't (by and large) take significantly longer than making bloated, inefficient enterprise spaghetti. The problem is finding people to do it with who care enough to think rigorously about what they're going to do before they start doing it.

I don't think finding such programmers is really difficult. What is difficult is finding such people if you expect them to be docile to incompetent managers and other incompetent people involved in the project who, for example, got their position not by merit and competence, but by playing political games.

If you own the largest ad network that spam sites use and own the traffic firehose, pointing the hose at the spam sites and ensuring people spend more time clicking multiple results that point to ad-filled sites will make you more money.

Google not only has multiple monopolies, but a cut and dry perverse incentive to produce lower quality results to make the whole session longer instead of short and effective.
Search results being absolutely shit is probably more of a problem for people than their choice of browser.

When someone complains to you directly about Google search results being shit, maybe point them to Kagi and mention it has a free trial account (100 searches still?) that's not time limited.

That way they'll have a solution they can turn to the next time Google pisses them off significantly. :)
In this case it really is easy to try a different search engine and switch to it to the extent you prefer it. At least if you're not too uncomfortable using software.

Google didn't mess that up, SEO did.

You don't "just need" that. You need the page to be authored by a human with good intentions and end up containing those words because those are meaningfully part of what the human was trying to convey to you without ulterior motives.

But those kinds of pages are dwarfed by the millions of pages of content farm nonsense jammed full of every possible keyword and contaning absolutely nothing of value.

>some things

Any specific examples? I hear this said all the time and it's almost never true.

Movement, for example: many decide to just let clients be fully authoritative over their positions and then act shocked when teleport hacks drop. Just keep track of the player's max move speed server-side, continually validate, and flag if they consistently move faster than is possible according to the server. No one is ever saying you have to validate inputs server-side in lock step with zero client-side prediction whatsoever and enforce 200ms of input lag for all players.
100 searches last you a lot longer than you think, especially if you delegate “postal code Wall Street New York”-type searches to Google via “!g” prefixing.

The point is that if multi-user security is broke in practice, you shouldn't invest effort into using it, and use something better like virtualization and/or dual booting with full disk encryption.
LLMs are a lot better at a lot of things than a lot of humans.

We got to the moon using a large number of systems to a) avoid errors where possible and b) build in redundancies. Even an LLM knows this and knew what the statement meant:

Lots of information relevant to how you arrived in your situation, but not relevant to solving the problem of finding a safe place to live.

In your situation I would start with a long-stay hotel. Join their loyalty program, get long-term rates. Settle into the new job, save money so you can move to an apartment. If you have a bad rental history or prior eviction expect to pay more in deposits and advance rent. Work with a property management firm that specializes in placing people with bad rental history or poor credit. Then start saving for a house. Going straight to thinking about how to buy a house seems like getting ahead of your means.

Moving abroad another option but maybe not possible with a government job. Depending on where you might want to go you have to obtain a long-stay visa, which usually means some financial disclosure and maybe a background check.
Show HN: WIP] Zephyr NN Jax FrameworkL Short, Simple, Declarative
Hello HN! I have an early work-in-progress Neural Network Framework written on top of JAX.

Simple | Declarative | No need to learn duplicated JAX transforms or specialized manipulation functions

Its key difference with other JAX frameworks is its simplicity and straightforwardness. With other frameworks, the network is transformed to an (init, apply) which are pure functions and you basically don't use the actual code you've written and instead use this. With zephyr, neural networks look like neural networks: a function of parameters, input-data, and hyperparameters. It's also patterned for FP use, so partial application will a useful alternative to states in OO.

Lastly, it's meant to be declarative and simple. Neural networks are just functions, not objects that need instantiation or anything. This means code are usually shorter as declaration and usage/computation happens in the same place since those things are highly coupled and so placing them together results in less cognitive load.

It's early stage and so the core nets are few and unpolished, but I want to focus on the core first before moving on to implementing all core nets. Feedback on any part of it is very welcome!
Thanks for that. I have also gotten straightforward answers from Chinese models to questions that U.S.-made models prevaricated about.

> (A) Every society has its own set of things that cannot be openly discussed. (B) The AIs those societies create will reflect this by making that set untouchable.

The difference here, for better or worse, is that the censorship seems to be driven by government pressure in one case and by corporate perception of societal norms in the other.

Even on the machines most well-supported by Linux, which are Intel x86 PCs with only integrated graphics and Intel wifi/bluetooth, there are still issues that need to be tinkered away like getting hardware-accelerated video decoding working in Firefox (important for keeping heat and power consumption down on laptops).

I keep around a Linux laptop and it's improved immensely in the past several years, but the experience still has rough edges to smooth out.

>they're small, very very tart, and quite a firm bite. Now, I like my apples tart and firm, but they're far too much for me

unrelated factoid that might be related, but there is an old American folk hero named Johnny Appleseed who walked around the early republic planting apple seeds wherever he went to promote more apples.

then more recently a book came out about apples and it described that apples don't "breed true" so even if you plant the seeds of sweet apples, you probably will not get sweet child trees. But, sour tart apples are still useful for making cider, and turns out alcoholic beverages was Johnny Appleseed's goal.

Interesting. So this is a hobby project of mine, I don't have a factory and I can't miniaturize the device modules, but I'm building it to be comfortable. I can make it boot Linux that is enough for hacking. Recording, playing audio is not an issue. GPS and GSM require extra modules. I'll need to check how much battery it consumes once assembled, but I can add as much capacity as needed, even with replaceable batteries for backup, at the expense of having a bulkier wearable. Maybe it's not the kind of device you want, or maybe you do, people used to run around with walkmans. Now, parts take long to arrive, so it will take some time for me to get back and send you pics.
I thought this was just me! Even if I use double quotes to search for a 1:1 phrase I often get bad results and nothing linking back to the source I was looking for. If you happen to remember the site something was on, adding "site:example.com" still produces decent results fortunately.
A good anti-cheat solution needs both client side and server side components, they complement each other.

You also need active human involvement, both as moderators and evolving the anti-cheat technology over time.
The anti-cheat will be very unhappy when it performs a bunch of arcane heuristics and determines it’s running in a VM.
> even with open-source, you're never going to sit and read the code (of the program AND its dependency tree)

You don't have to. The fact that it's possible for you to do so, and the fact that there are many other people in the open source community able to do so and share their findings, already makes it much more trust-worthy than any closed apple product.
Absence of evidence or a simple explanation does not mean that you can imbue statistical regression with animal spirits.

If you could measure hallucinations, then you would include that measure as an eval parameter of the search function.
