quite the sculpture

i really don't like the idea of ground news though, they act all unbiased an etc and then tell you exactly how biased your media is and what to think about it, AND THEN summarize it with (surely 100% trustworthy and pure) LLMs.

how so?

people can easily shatter padlock shackles with ramsets, which are basically little blank round gunpowder powered hammers. not sure if a gun would, but sure seems like it.

also, the asteroid one is probably quite true, but saturns ring are between 10m and 1 km in thickness, so there are exceptions.

$1000 drone? likely less than 500$ even for a consumer, and ukraine does have some of its own production setup to drive costs lower.

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.

AI and machine learning are very similar (if not identical) things, just one has been turned into a marketing hype word a whole lot more than the other.

one more potential source of interference is from the drone. analog fpv video systems are pretty sensitive to interference from the motors on the drone, and while it seems like the bad interference as in the footage would be fixed quickly, it is a common problem for hobbyists with analog fpv systems, so worth thinking about.

there is a demo for powerline maintenance that does just that! it only needs to hang on to one wire too. quite a bit bigger than the fpv attack drones ukraine is using though.

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.

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
