i agree, although the debris definitely left the exclusion zone, as shown by the large number of flights impacted, and spacex setting up a found debris hotline.

in a year from now, ceo’s will probably have a bit more private security and do less walking around in cities at 6 in the morning alone. I agree with you on the rest though

Those people injured while hiking, how many inches away were they from death? Trump was less than 6 inches easily. The actual injury is very lame, but if I narrowly escaped death by an inch or two I’d be freaking out too, especially if I had to continue doing what got me into that situation.

i really don’t like the idea of ground news though, they act all unbiased an etc and then tell you exactly how biased your media is and what to think about it, AND THEN summarize it with (surely 100% trustworthy and pure) LLMs.

how so?

people can easily shatter padlock shackles with ramsets, which are basically little blank round gunpowder powered hammers. not sure if a gun would, but sure seems like it.

also, the asteroid one is probably quite true, but saturns ring are between 10m and 1 km in thickness, so there are exceptions.

Server side is beatable as in, you could inflate your skill to that of a professional player.

The optimal serverside anti cheat would be able to recognize what gameplay is human level, and what gameplay is impossible or very unlikely to be human, and make punishment decisions based on that.

Then, the best cheat would just be almost perfectly simulating a pro player, and at that point the cat and mouse game of anti cheat and cheating would be far far less relevant.

Something like blatant tf2 spinbotting, or scoping someones head through a wall right before peeking them in r6, are absolutely detectable serverside with heuristics or machine learning models or etc, and that should be worked on rather than embedding some spyware into my uefi firmware or whatever.

go look at some forums for cheating, and you will see that they really do not work very well. it may be a cat and mouse game, but there is constant reverse engineering work and development being done (some of which is even paid work for paid cheats), and there is pretty much always a solution for new anticheat measures that someone finds.

the only unbeatable anticheat is a server side one

It sounds like a lot of the precursors are too generally used to blanket ban them because of fentanyl. Kinda seems like this is just the cost of seamless worldwide shipping, we simply can’t open every bag of cat food being shipped to make sure its not a fentanyl precursor.

voting third party will just split the vote for the side you want though (and thats a big problem when the opponent is literal evil or whatever, and the margins are so tight), we need to switch to a better voting system like ranked choice voting to allow more than 2 options.

crowdstrike has caused issues like this with linux systems in the past, but sounds like they have now moved to eBPF user mode by default (I don’t know enough about low level linux to understand that though haha), and it now can’t crash the whole computer. source

some large commercial dna testing companies share their databases with law enforcement, and additionally you really don’t need a close match to start identifying someone, 5th cousin type thing etc. heres an good video on the issue.

Well, yeah this really really isn’t good. This outcome is the worst of anything that couldve happened, but it also was absurdly, stupidly, close, if the wind had gusted differently, or if trump moved his head differently while speaking, we would be having a very different conversation.

If you make a great, almost certainly deadly, swat at a hornet, but it miraculously escapes and stings you in the face, acknowledging that it was a good try at least is fair.

i agree, but also assassinating the president cannot be an easy task, and considering how far away they were, literally grazing his head is a very very good attempt. trump got absurdly lucky here

if we get a video showing something changing on his face before he touches it or falls to the ground, I think that would rule out false flag, or at least they would have had to actually shoot something at him to do that.

for 3d printed gun people (not personally one of them, just browsed their subreddit once), they use some vaguely blockchain crypto related p2p video host called LBRY, not sure if that model is scalable though, as it seems to be based around free p2p hosting like torrents, although there was some mention of hosting fees, presumably in crypto? not sure

the infrastructure of the pirate streaming sites is impressive, but I bet that is still orders of magnitude easier than hosting youtube.

I wonder why grayjay is still fine but youtube-dlp isn’t. strange

open source drivers were developed for apple’s gpus, so if there is demand seems like someone would do it for qualcomm

hermione was criticized a lot by pretty much everyone when she tried to free the house elves and made badges etc.
