quite the sculpture

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

but those are the cool interesting research related AIs, not the venture capital hype LLMs that will gift us AGI any day now with just a bit more training data/compute.

lots of fun techniques, a common one for getting down low enough where other methods become practical is stirling cryocoolers, and those are even on ebay for a few thousand (cascade refrigeration systems, and joule thompson coolers, and a few others are also used), way down past that theres stuff like weird magnetic coolers, and dilution coolers All very interesting, reading about exotic cooling methods is quite fun.

350 nm is massive and ancient relative to new processes, but the name of a new process stopped physically meaning anything a while ago. for instance, the 3 nm process smallest distance between traces is only 24 nm.

now the industry just names a new process when enough techniques for improving performance (without much actual size difference) exist.

reminds me of geowizards episodes geolocating vacation photos for fun. this one was insane, similar in detail to the photo in the tweet

server side anticheat is the only ultimate solution.

all client side anticheat measures will have vulnerabilities that will be found and people will cheat. (look at DMA pci cards, for instance)

i think that might be a suicide prevention measure, i remember something about blister packaging helping reduce suicide rates.

i watch ltt for alex messing around, and every now and then a video of linus wasting money on cool testing equipment for some reason. I've always assumed GN is superior for actual testing.

I think the majority of ppl want that stuff better for everyone, toxic masculinity hurts women and men. there's definitely some very vocal sexists on both sides though

it's good that Saudi Arabia did this but its hard to feel good about such a screwed up, journalist murdering country.

I am so glad I made a bet with a friend about reddit being much smaller or dead in 5 years, it just keeps getting better for me.
