I know I could just ask chatgpt but wanted to support human content on the internet. The irony of this sentence. As if the millionth repetitive copy of defeatist doomsday commentary on chatGPT is somehow a very different kind of con

Pretty fun! I like trying to make as many flips as possible: Basically a fender bender, but you landed Score: 45.4 point landing Speed: 3.5mph Angle: 9.5° Time: 62 seconds Flips: 18 Max speed: 86.8mph Max height: 1276ft

I wonder if that retention has to do with having learned handwriting before typing, and that one who learns typing first would have equal retention to one who writes. Would be interesting if a study is done on this! (Of course, carefully, s

It seems like a rift between "Enlightenment" and "Authoritarian High Modernism." People want this progress to benefit reason and humanities, not contribute to our backsliding. Being nonprofit is at least symbolic of enli

I'm pretty sure any system built via linear regression or similar is an opaque box even to the most experienced researchers. For example: https://clementneo.com/posts/2023/02/11/we-found-an-neuron T

I'm not sure what country you live in, IANAL, in the US you're going to be liable for all damages and risk a license suspension for doing that. It's dangerous to the tow driver and there's no world where you can reasonab

As someone who gets easily upset by bad websites, I actually really don't mind those banners. Why? Because it's extremely smooth and easy to scroll past them. If I tried to scroll and they followed me, and it was all laggy, then y

A flip in the magnetic field? Has something like that ever happened in history or is ever predicted to happen? What would the damage be?

Yeah it sounds like a lot has changed. I joined around 2019 and quit end of 2022.

I'm not sure if "cheat" is the exact word to use here. They were all bought accounts or in the process of being boosted. One way to tell is by looking at a player's match history and seeing their account plays one or two

Yes I'm seeing now how unsophisticated and probably incorrect my approach is, clearly running into the limits of my understanding of compiled programs / cheat engines :)

Could just be a simple property that existed on some game object, which was exposed in the interface but nothing in the game ever accessed the property. Then a getter would report the read to their backend. The cheat programs probably autom

Meanwhile, Riot Games issued a warning to League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics players earlier this year that new cheats could be developed after source code for both games and the legacy anti-cheating software they use was stolen i

Try replacing your judgment with education and understanding. My home office has servers with static IP addresses, hosting profitable businesses with other people's data. It may be time to grow out of your visceral reaction

lol this isn't the "Big Brother" 1984 reveal you're making it out to be. It's pretty likely just their IP address is blacklisted. It was probably used previously for a malicious host. It's quite easy to change

I'm missing something... why is this an "all or nothing" deal? Like, can't you just leave people with their tabs and not store a shitload of data in memory?

Thank you for making this! I had the exact same idea quite some time ago but had neither the skills nor the passion to actually create it. Seeing it come to life has just scratched a long forgotten itch and damn it feels great.

Thank you for this amazingly insightful comment. A question as an ignorant layperson, if I may: They could have said it cost the same amount of carbon as 25 US drivers emit each year. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing.

Naturally dying is unpalatable to the individual living brain, evolved for survival and reproduction! Doesn't it seem to be that death and life are mind-made abstractions of an unfathomable process of eternal continuity and change? In

you mean aside from the fact that it requires downloading a huge multi-purpose program that starts at $21/mo which is built for significantly more than just those features and the user must use a lot more brain space for what they want
