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

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)

reminds me of this video that shows how they reverse engineered the macbook touchbar display and made their own driver. I bet a tv is harder, but I've wondered the same thing, and would be interested to see someone try.

the number of gender affirming surgeries on minors actually occuring each year is very small. looks like about 800 between 2019 and 2021. if a percentage of those cases could have been potential suicide deaths, then its likely worth the small risk of them regretting it later, especially since studies of gender affirming surgery show very low regret rates.

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 have a bet with a friend on reddit being significantly smaller or dead in 5 years, its looking pretty good for me.
