>>The actual cheater is still getting a signal that they've been detected, because they get banned.

So....yes. But there are mitigating tactics around this, I really recommend looking into it because it's a fascinating topic. As the simplest thing - you don't ban cheaters the moment they are detected to not give off how you detected them. That's why Activision bans people in waves and all at once, even though they know some people are cheating and still active. Unfortunately a lot of people are paying for cheats nowadays, and the cheat makers usually have some kind of refund policy where if you get detected you get your money back - games companies want to inconvenience those buyers as much as possible, so you can't claim your refund straight away because hey, the game worked for a good while even while you were cheating, must have been something else :P

>>Meanwhile the normal user is both confused and significantly more inconvenienced

Yes, which is why the aim is to have 0 legitimate players getting caught by this, obviously.
Right. Because protests (however stupid they are) should be silent and easy to ignore, they should not disrupt anything or inconvenience anyone.
The intent is usually to gather data then ban in waves. If a new tool comes out and you ban a couple of players the tool authors might figure out why and update it. Let it sit a while and you can get hundreds/thousands of players who get a message to rethink their choice to cheat.

An additional benefit is that this can include multiple cheat programs and versions in one ban wave, so it may be harder to narrow down exactly what the flaw was. That's the why for no warnings (or explanations) - false positives and recourse if mistakenly flagged is another matter entirely.
It's not a bug, people are reporting a long list of phrases that follow the same patterns (pro Trump, anti Democrat).
> 3) Possible career pivot - there will be opportunities. Some parts of the labour market are starving for employees and I don't mean just the trades - there's a constant need for nurses, teachers, care etc. The problem is these jobs are notorious for burning their workers out; I don't have a solution for that.

These jobs are also not scalable and not directly profitable, they require money from other sources to even exist at a large scale. In this potential AI-dominated world where there is less money being earned by individuals, consequently less taxes being paid, who exactly is going to be paying for nurses, teachers, care, etc.?
It would be better if we just change the immigration policy. Last time I checked there was 400,000 leaving the country each year and somewhere between a million and 1.4 million entering.

I live in the countryside (I live in a small flat btw so I don't care about property prices) and I don't want everywhere in the country built over, which seems to be something here everyone wants for some bonkers reason. If you want to live in a concrete jungle that is fine, I and many others don't. I moved out of Manchester because I hated it there.
Really unfortunate timing with Deepseek-R1 and the distills coming out at basically the same time. Hard for people to pay attention to, and plus open source > API, even if the results are a bit lower.
It's also important to realize there are organizations where no one thrives but everyone stays because they have to.
You probably don't need query builders
Ahah! I worked on a project which used dotnet format in a commit hook. That was a frustrating experience, trying to rebase code.

(Unlike most formatters which are instant, dotnet format takes at least half a minute, because it performs a build just to format your code.)
I think the reason they did it is because she speaks so slowly so it's more understandable for beginners
I don't mind cheaters getting their asses kicked. Let them lose real money. If you accidentally get banned, that's a different story though.

And it's just a game that's not playable anymore, not the whole Steam account, isn't it?
Download something like LM Studio (no affiliation) that is a bit easier for non-terminal users to use, compared to Ollama, and start downloading/loading models :)
Eh, a transparent organization of elected officials with short term limits and strong public oversight, a little bit. A very smart ai would represent power, and so every mechanism we’ve used as humans to guard against power misuse would be the ones I’d want to see here.
The article comes to this conclusion:

> After years of observing these cycles, I think it comes down to one word: employability.

> Developers want to keep getting paid for what they already know and use. We worry that today’s optional technology will become tomorrow’s job requirement.

However, that's not the real reason for the "fatique" or anger from the seasoned developers. The anger stems from the fact that we've seen all of this so many times before and it seems we're unnecessarily burning cycles on something that is spinned as "innovation", but pragmatically is a distraction.

This anger is further fueled by junior developers jumping directly on the new frameworks and disregarding the "old tech" as some sort of legacy.
> But will potential employers even consider my CV that doesn't mention React? Will they be willing to offer the same position level and give me time to learn their stack?

Many companies who use React will not consider your CV. React is as fundamental as JavaScript itself so omitting it in a CV is red flag. And learning modern React ecosystem from the scratch is no easy undertaking even for experienced developer.

Considering future employability when choosing a tech stack is definitely a valid concern and it should be clear for everyone involved. Using unconventional technologies makes it harder to hire people, because many developers will afraid to hurt their CVs.
And what about... but what about...

Oh this is very nice, I hadn't seen it before. A few random thoughts:

- The Vamp Plugin Pack for Mac finally got an ARM/Intel universal build in its 2.0 release last year, so hopefully the caveat mentioned about the M1 Mac should no longer apply

- Most of the Vamp plugins in the Pack pre-date the pervasive use of deep learning in academia, and use classic AI or machine-learning methods with custom feature design and filtering/clustering/state models etc. (The associated papers can be an interesting read, because the methods are so explicitly tailored to the domain)

- Audacity as host only supports plugins that emit time labels as output - this obviously includes beats and chords, but there are other forms of analysis plugins can do if the host (e.g. Sonic Visualiser) supports them

- Besides the simple host in the Vamp SDK, there is another command-line Vamp host called Sonic Annotator (https://vamp-plugins.org/sonic-annotator/) which is even harder to use, equally poorly documented, and even more poorly maintained, but capable of some quite powerful batch analysis and supporting a wider range of audio file formats. Worth checking out if you're curious

(I'm the main author of the Vamp SDK and wrote bits of some of the plugins, so if you have other questions I may be able to help)
As much as I loved that article, I'm not sure it's really moral thing to do.
Thank you I love Parinfer and Cursive
Elite overproduction is a thing, you know. It might be a feature but it's also a bug.
Don’t support meta. Don’t use their products. This has been obvious for so long. Just delete your accounts and move elsewhere.

- "This is a free market; if you do not like it use another platform!"

- "I thought $conglomerate" had our back! They had rainbows and all; is that all it took them to fold"?

For Django projects, I would say DjLint [1]. It doesn't cover all you asked, but makes the job of writing the templates (HTML) much more pleasant.

Uh, no.

I don't switch platforms on a whim, because I like to deliver value to my users and tackling problems that actually matter.

If I'm constantly switching to a "better" platform, that's all I'm doing. And in the process I'm wasting time learning the new platforms and getting marginal returns, most of the time. Smart bosses will see right through that, sooner or later, and there goes your employability in your current job.

If, on the other hand, you're inteersted in job hopping every time you learn a new platform, all the power to you. Just make damn sure you don't jump on the wrong bandwagon.
Is this just a count for America or Wikipedia in general. Because in that case it could also just be the rest of the world going "What the hell are you guys doing over there?"
Oh, wow. I have come to expect nonsensical silliness from him but this is a new level of ridiculous posturing.

Disrupting a talk simply because you don’t like AI or fintech is, for lack of a better term, lame. A payment processor isn’t responsible for the climate emergency, and a company isn’t evil for having a wealthy founder or having to do layoffs.

His upset is misplaced.

Meta is switching shoes faster than it is stealing features from tiktok.
Whats slightly ironic, is the website seems to have a lot of customizations leveraging html, css, and js...

If you already know html, css, and js, then why not just static host the website yourself?
The thing is, "deplatforming" is always popular with people as long as the thoughts unpopular among those people are being deplatformed. But once the mechanism for systemic deplatforming has been built, it can be captured by other groups.

I suspect that after 15-20 years of the pendulum swinging to a fro, the "freeze peach" crowd may reconsider the value of, again, systemic tolerance.
What kind of resources do I need to run these models? Even if I run it on a CPU, how do I know what amount of RAM is needed to run a model? I've tried reading about it but I can't find a conclusive answer, other than downloading models and trying them out.

I Tested Replit to Generate Code. Here Is What I Learned
2017!!!
In some sense it never died. Lebanese people are largely their descendants, and their diaspora is extremely mercantile. Tyre is yet inhabited, as are many of the ancient metropoles of Phoenicia.
yeah, 4D is nonsense. it's "just" built-in conditional logic. a person who gets fatter over Christmas isn't a 4D person.
> These EU Codes of Conduct are voluntary commitments and companies face no penalties if they decide to back out of the agreement, as Elon Musk did with X (then known as Twitter) in 2022 when he withdrew the company from the Code of Practice on Disinformation.

It's pretty obviously a PR stunt done in bad faith to delay actual legal consequences. I don't understand why this kind of "legal" construct even exists tbh.
The question for the people who find this outrageous, why didn't you find the opposite situation just as outrageous? For years, liberals have been tacitly and often explicitly endorsing censorious behavior of Twitter, Meta and others as not only legitimate, but desirable. And this outcome is exactly why that was a dangerous position to embrace. Because, soon enough, someone you don't agree with will come into power.

We need to denounce censorship always, _especially_ when we disagree with those being censored.
There have been significant (if not earth shattering) improvements in the compiler itself. But for me at least, the bigger change has been from better hardware. I now have a processor (Apple M1 Pro) that's 10x (multi core) / 2x (single core) faster than the one I had when I first started programming using Rust (intel dual core processor in a 2015 MBP) and that seems to have translated almost perfectly into faster compile times.
epic stuff!

the same method can be used for actuators. we'll see a lot of this used in mitigation of and adaptation to climate change consequences.
There’s also a ‘Carthage of the Indies’ (Cartagena de Indias) in Colombia.
Why you cannot make same script for IDA.
Anyway I don't like them, Hexrays are POS. Just curious.
They needed Angular 17/18, I worked with 16, after the initial call they didn't want to continue due to this. Not sure how real the job was. Apparently if you start with AngularJs, then 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, it will be impossible to upgrade to 18 /irony
Protesting should be about raising awareness of disagreement on a topic. It does not have to be disruptive to reach that objective.
still, it ruined game for other players.

though personally I can't be that mad if you wrote cheats yourself, I will be a bit angry but impressed too ;)
My spouse is a molecular biologist pursuing her PhD in RNA therapy. She works ~2x longer and 10x harder than I do, with only a third of the yield. You can only sustain that for so long. She's in academia solely because she's good at it. However, there are a few things I've observed from the sidelines:

- PIs can make your life absolutely miserable for no reason, and it's difficult to switch labs if you're otherwise making good progress.

- The pay is poor, and professors often joke about how cheap PhD students and postdocs are.

- A significant amount of time is wasted on internal politics, such as deciding whose name appears on a paper and in what order.

- Pursuing irrelevant papers just to secure tenure is common.

- Bullying from other academics happens more often than most are willing to admit.

- PIs often treat their subordinates like high school students, expecting them to work weekends for "research" and forgo vacations.

- It's true that many join academia because they didn't know what else they could do.

It's exhausting, and there are better ways to make a living. She plans to leave academia as soon as possible.
This is true; I can only speak from my experience and that of my peers but the hardest part every time was the "accepted quickly" section of your comment. I am also thinking the process is cryptic and uncertain on purpose to discourage people from even trying. Even though I have not personally seen requests get outright rejected, just drawn out to months.
I have both now. When genuinely good tech comes around it’s extremely hard to convince leadership to use it because they’ve heard it all before.

At the same time all the implementation details fly under the radar, and the mountain of dependencies keeps increasing in size.
Scala has implicit contextual parameters: https://docs.scala-lang.org/tour/implicit-parameters.html.
equalizing "having an opinion" and "activism" with "broad manipulation based on personal whim" - those are the mental gymnastics I see too often these days.

One of those things requires power and the other does not. And abuse is pretty hard without power.
So what happens if they don't give that explanation to you?

I mean, it is kind of obvious, Trump is now in power and Zuckerberg does not like problems. Or would you rather have a technical scapegoat explanation, that some intern messed up?
You are right, and this is where a little bit of engineering comes in. Push as much of the logic to scripts (either shell or python or whatever) that you can run locally. Perhaps in docker, whatever. All the token, variables, artifacts etc should act as inputs or parameters to your scripts. You have several mechanisms at your disposal, command line arguments, environment variables, config files, etc. Those are all well understood, universal, language and environment agnostic, to an extent.

The trick is to NOT have your script depend on the specifics of the environment, but reverse the dependency. So replace all `If CI then Run X else if Local Run Y` with the ability to configure the script to run X or Y, then let the CI configure X and local configure Y. For example.

I'm not saying it is always easy and obvious. For bigger builds, you often really want caching and have shitloads of secrets and configurations going on. You want to only build what is needed, so you need something like a DAG. It can get complex fast. The trick is making it only as complex as it needs be, and only as reusable as and when it is actually re-used.
I'm in Europe and I also have the democrat hashtag hidden but not the republican one. Between this and Musk salutes, it's very concerning.

Salutes. He did it more than once in that speech.

Black Propaganda
From the man routinely saying the media lie to you on his own media platform.

At least that’s where I’ve seen the video of him doing it, so perhaps he isn’t wrong about that particular thing?
Why are you asking me? You voted for him, lol.

Also, what kind of question is that? What makes you think that it is relevant?

It's akin to having a conversion like

> I like blue color
> What? Did you groom 5 or 10 kids yesterday? Which number is the correct one?
> ???
I think the comment on #5 (Menendez brothers) completely misinterprets the metrics.

Wiki pageviews are often NOT a good proxy for "cultural significance" and this is very obvious here: There is a very different baseline propability to look up some "based on a true story"- criminals compared to "generic spiderman movie #23"; this does not necessarily mean that the story about the criminals was more influential/significant or anything, the same way that the pageviews on "Dr. House" don't make him more significant than literal houses...
Only if you place no value on the land simply existing as it does now and providing aesthetic value. Most people privileged enough to sit on a planning council coincidentally also trend towards valuing peace and quiet and are hesitant to approve projects that may disrupt their assumed way of life.

From the outside looking in, rural UK council politics seems like the epitome of “I got mine so bug off”. I think this is one reason why London is becoming a super hub (among other reasons). London broke the ice and now they are trying to keep progressing but physical distance is becoming a limiting factor. Other municipalities will need to embrace change if they want to keep developing into a place where people want to live and work.
When you can't get any job, but you know for sure you could do any of them, you will care.
That's not Meta censoring, they just switched from autocratic to democratic (based on user votes) moderation. So enough bots voted to ban that hashtag.
There is no European nuclear arsenal. There is a French nuclear arsenal. It functions to deter other countries from using nuclear weapons against France.

Not really relevant, but this triggered a memory of being around 14 years old and getting scammed on Runescape which drove an evil character arch from me to somehow find out how to DDOS players in the duel arena and make absolute bank. I still feel a little guilty about my actions to this day. At the same time, I'm surprised that at 14 I was able to find and pay for a denial of service provider and figure out players IP addresses to intentionally disconnect them

Shiny object syndrome still goes strong in the software engineer population.

Jokes aside, the real value is in the fundamentals. Frameworks (or even simple languages like Go) can be learned to use efficiently in a matter of days. Good fundamentals make this process smoother.
Erm, google "elon nazi salut" did gave me a lot of mainstream media results.

But possible, that they do not make headlines out of it.
That’s because React was messed up when it was at iteration 16. Slightly harder to understand at 17. But 18 completely jumped the shark on being able to understand the thing.
I can't believe I'm reading this in 2025.
People are repeating things which used to be true back in 2014 but don't make any sense in today's context. Even this supposedly 'shiny new' framework called Svelte is from 2016... That was almost 8 years ago.

These days, I would actually complain about the opposite problem that there are not enough new frameworks, given that most current popular frameworks are pretty bad and are literally outdated by 8+ years.

Unfortunately, the tech industry is quite crony now so only frameworks that are built by ex-Google or ex-Facebook engineers have any chance of mainstream adoption... All the others have been gas-lit out of existence... Also, these ex-FAANG engineers who actually have a shot at getting any serious eyeballs are too busy living their best life to be toiling away coding open source frameworks. Many of them never cared much for coding anyway.

Our socioeconomic system is such that the people who hoard ALL the opportunities couldn't be bothered to seize a fraction of them... And those who have all the motivation in the world to build something meaningful have literally zero opportunities to do so.
> It’s a fun hypothetical and not an obvious answer, to me at least.

As I wrote it out, I didn't know what I thought either.

But now some sleep later, I feel like the answer is pretty clearly "No, not worth it", at least from myself.

Our exclusive control over access to our mind, is our essential form of self-determination, and what it means to be an individual in society. Cross that boundary (forcefully no less) and it's probably one of the worst ways you could violate a human.

Besides, I'm personally not hugely into the whole "aggregate benefits could outweigh individual harms" mindset utilitarians tend to employ, and feels like it misses thinking about the humans involved.

Anyways, sorry if the question upset some people, it wasn't meant to paint any specific picture but a thought experiment more or less, as we inch closer to scarier stuff being possible.
