@TheTacticalBrit So "pro cheater" we're anti surveillance, you bad faith dipshit.
English
There's been a lot of tech illiteracy on this today. But if you are compromising your own hardware to cheat in a video game, quite frankly, I couldn't care if they made your PC remotely detonate.
what's with the weird correlation with Vtubers and artists being so pro cheater?
Riot Games@riotgames
Does Vanguard physically damage hardware? No. Does this impact hardware or software in any ways unrelated to Riot’s games? No. The IOMMU security protection does not impact hardware, and would only impact the ability of players using DMA cheat devices to play our games. Are normal players affected? Players not using DMA cheat hardware are unaffected. Why target DMA cheats? DMA-based cheats are among the most sophisticated forms of cheating because they attempt to bypass traditional software detection by accessing memory directly through external hardware. I’m affected by this. How do I fix it? To continue cheating in other titles with this device, you may simply disable IOMMU in BIOS in the same place that you enabled it. Of course, you still won’t be able to play our games with these cheat devices enabled. Why did Riot joke about “bricking” PCs? We didn’t. The “paperweight” comment was about VALORANT cheat devices that no longer work in VALORANT. No hardware is being damaged and no other functionalities are impacted.

@MinagorriRob @BenjaminPDixon Please don't ascribe more derision to my post than is needed. I'm a fan of Pastor Ben, he's just a bit outside his area of expertise.
He had a reactive moment here, but his overarching point, that an LLM is not directly searching for a correct answer, is also true.
English
@Hawful @BenjaminPDixon Oh yes. On the "you are not a technology guy" part. Very valid in fact.
It's the non-technology people that gets the most radical and literal about things. They turn into the most zealot militants.
English
If you believe that LLMs are querying a database for answers
you're decidely unqualified for this discussion.
Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸@jimstewartson
I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at. LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done. They are the EXHAUST of humanity. Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA. It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.
English
@Hawful @niieani @hd_nvim Why do you think the port is not written sensibly for that language? Do you see more OOMs, segfaults and bugs than with the Zig version? Do you find the code inelegant?
(P.s. the port hasn't even landet yet, yet you and ytdlp already have strong opinions about the result lol)

yt-dlp plans to drop support for Bun
Reason: it is vibe-coded

WHO GIVES A SHIT!? Why do people want a dynamic TOD????? Oh yeah man, can't wait to drive around at fuckin high noon, love the light quality then.
Yeah, things looked better when people made ACTUAL ARTISTIC CHOICES. Open world global raytracing looks like ASS!!!
7ndrew@7ndrew
When it released on PC, NFS15 was unplayable on anything that wasn't a then high-end PC Also the entirety of the lighting is baked in (no dynamic TOD possible), and props/foliage just a few meters from the road are textureless and plain black, that's why daytime mods look so bad
English
@lowfry @niieani @hd_nvim Fun use of the word 'developed', Bun was acquired by Anthropic in December of last year. The bulk of the development was already done.
I don't care what language anything is written in as long as it's written sensibly for that language. The rust 'port' is not an example of this.
English
@Hawful @niieani @hd_nvim Bun is developed by Anthropic, Anthropic is an AI company, and AI companies make money through selling tokens.
Zig banned all kinds of LLMs from the project; why should an AI company "hype up" a niche language which doesn't like AI? Tbh I understand why they explore a Rust port.
English
@BenjaminPDixon @GNOBOTS @jimstewartson They are though, they intake the token context window and reference a db of tokens and weights which result in the output. That's literally how it works.
I do think that 'fuzzy search' is a weird simplification, but it's not flatly incorrect.
English
@GNOBOTS @jimstewartson oh god.... lol....
i should give you another chance to read...
neural networks are not a lookup database as Jim suggested.

@YesboxStudios @XboxLiveGOP Proton is a miracle, don't bother making a linux port, it's running completely fine on my arch system.

@XboxLiveGOP Not on day one. What I said is still true

The Metropolis 1998 alpha demo is now stable. I'll be updating the itch.io build very soon.
It's already live on Steam.

So funny to say something like this as if Snow White didn't come out in 1937.
Hell if you want to keep it in anime Akira is 88 and Ghost in the Shell is 95
"Those aren't shows" fine man, Cowboy Bebop was 98 and FLCL was 2000.
Everything listed clears this.
jass@JASS1000001
Soul Eater had THIS level of animation back in 2008?? Nahh that’s actually insane 😭🔥
English
@Beqa4rl @ogisadaDMA Let me put it this way. Tencent has demonstrated that they can do this to ANYONE who has their games installed on their computer.
I don't want cheaters in my games either, but that doesn't give a gaming company to physically destroy hardware.
English
@ogisadaDMA why are people mad in comments? this is a good thing and a big win in gaming community, fuck the loser cheaters

Game: Valorant
AC: Vanguard (VGK)
Today’s Vanguard anti-cheat update blocked the majority of DMA firmwares using SATA/NVMe.
VGK suddenly triggered an IOMMU restart warning in-game, after which the DMA firmware becomes completely unusable, even without the game running or after uninstalling Vanguard. Only fix is a full OS reinstall.
It’s using IOMMU to create read blocks, which permanently breaks the majority of almost all SATA/NVMe firmwares once triggered.
Even the advanced H2-board got affected.

How bout don't take notes. Ban them from your game, sure, but this is the reason that kernel level anticheat is a no go for me. I never want to give someone the ability to break my computer whenever they see fit. This is a huge invasion of your system.
SfdxShow 🛡️@sfdxpro
Ya empiezan a salir las pantallas rojas de la muerte por chitear en Valorant😅 El anticheat detecta y deshabilita la unidad que usan los cheaters, generando una falla en el almacenamiento y dejando inservible el sistema operativo. Y encima les vacilan🤣 Valve aprende para CS2

Honestly it points to something even more rotten. The complete ineptitude and graft of the democratic consultancy class goes all the way to the roots. Every dollar given to these people is wasted when it goes to create documents like these.

No smoking gun, now can we please move on? I looked for keywords and the ones y’all were wanting aren’t in there 🤷🏽♀️

burning CDs for the first time in more than a decade. Makes me feel alive

@kyliebytes It's really fun to learn how to use yt-dlp from the command line directly. Every wrapper basically just uses that anyways.

They sell LED bulbs in the colour tone on the left. I sent emails and made phone calls to people in my local council until they changed the bulbs on my street. You can do the same.
USA Reject@sadreturns
the left side actually made me sad to remember what we’ve lost

Insane, they didn't release the autopsy not because of it actually identifying anything dangerous, it's actually just garbage. It is embarrassing GPT-3 assisted slop with tons of inconsistencies all over the place. It's actual garbage.
