    our brain is a black box, we accept that. (and control the outcomes with procedures, checklists, etc)

    It feels like lots of prefessionals can’t exactly explain every single aspect of how they do what they do, sometimes it just feels right.





  • 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.


  • Innovations still help people loads, that’s a crazy pessimistic generalization.

    Yes of course the trashy tech bro nonsense isn’t helping you, but what about RNA vaccines during covid? What about all of the medical work and innovation going into cancer treatment? What about all of the work and innovation going into reducing carbon emissions so we don’t ruin our planet? I could go on for a long time.

    Real innovation in mainstream tech may be mostly stagnant and lame, but there will always be useful and helpful innovation.
