Human administration is not scalable.

Most cheaters are playing well outside of human limits and doing huge amounts of damage to the legitimate player experience. A 10% safety margin beyond human play sounds reasonable. A world where cheaters can only play 10% better than human

Then youve immediately made the cheater worse than the best players to blend in with them. Mission accomplished, cheater nerfed significantly. You wont even know theyre doing it.

Valve need to tweak the model so that it requires a higher confidence level before a ban, and to reduce false positives in their data capture methods. This is a mistake but doesnt kill the idea.

You mustve missed the part where i spoke of consistency? Ive played at the pro level. Nobody prefires with perfect robotic consistency. I dont care if it takes 50 matches of data for the statistical model to call it inhuman. Valve has enoug

Thats a win. Preventing cheaters gaining superhuman advantage significantly reduces their impact.

Even randomisation would cause their aim to be statistically different to a normal players aim over time.

There is no need for ML. Games arent the real world. A suitable game engine would have knowledge of when a shadow, player, grenade, noise, or other reactable event occurs for a given client. Especially if games arent processed in real time

More like congrats, you just made every cheater far less effective by forcing them to play nearer to human limits. You arent eliminating cheaters, that's impossible, you are limiting their impact.

If anyone is wrongly banned the system is too sensitive. Let it capture data for a month before banning someone. Ensure the confidence is crazy high.

Good! Thats actually one of the goals. Reduce the advantage cheaters can gain to within human bounds. They can cheat to feel like a good player, but not a god.

Anticheat devs could REALLY benefit by having some data scientists involved. Any player responding to ingame events (enemy appeared) with sub 80ms reaction times consistently should be an automatic ban. Is it ever? No. Given good enough dat

The people that do the actual work dont want to be in the office surrounded by the slackers that for some reason 'require' other people around them to work. Theyre leaches. They drain energy me.

If they fill your harddrive youre less likely to install other games. If you see a huge install size youre less likely to uninstall with plans to reinstall later because thatd take a long time.

Any reasonable programmer (a peer) would say an unencrypted system that doesnt validate data is an unprotected system.

Could you argue the computer was unprotected? No encryption is wild.

80 chars per line was invented when languages used shortened commands though. Nowadays 120 is more appropriate. Especially in Powershell. Not so much in bash where commands are short, 80 can stay alive there!

A good dev isnt necessarily a good writer. Summarising complexity concisely is difficult. Restrictions lead devs to write to useless messages like 'fixed a bug' rather than messages that are slightly verbose but actually useful. M

Short is a relative term, and in this sense is relative to the long form explanation of the code. If a commit is sufficiently complex the long form could be 600 characters and the short form 200.

You want the ai aligned with writing accurate documentation, not aligned with a goal thats near but wrong, e.g. writing accurate sounding documentation.
