quite the sculpture
Those people injured while hiking, how many inches away were they from death? Trump was less than 6 inches easily. The actual injury is very lame, but if I narrowly escaped death by an inch or two I'd be freaking out too, especially if I had to continue doing what got me into that situation.
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.
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.
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
It sounds like a lot of the precursors are too generally used to blanket ban them because of fentanyl. Kinda seems like this is just the cost of seamless worldwide shipping, we simply can't open every bag of cat food being shipped to make sure its not a fentanyl precursor.
voting third party will just split the vote for the side you want though (and thats a big problem when the opponent is literal evil or whatever, and the margins are so tight), we need to switch to a better voting system like ranked choice voting to allow more than 2 options.
crowdstrike has caused issues like this with linux systems in the past, but sounds like they have now moved to eBPF user mode by default (I don't know enough about low level linux to understand that though haha), and it now can't crash the whole computer. source
ai companies are already having issues with (and not doing) training on new data because lots of it is llm generated, a tiny tiny fraction of that being grammatically correct but nonsense really won't do anything.
also, to make enough nonsense to get the llms to reproduce it would need like, a large fraction of the internet to be complete (human generated) nonsense. at that point you've ruined the internet in a different, entirely human caused, way.
some large commercial dna testing companies share their databases with law enforcement, and additionally you really don't need a close match to start identifying someone, 5th cousin type thing etc. heres an good video on the issue.
Well, yeah this really really isn't good. This outcome is the worst of anything that couldve happened, but it also was absurdly, stupidly, close, if the wind had gusted differently, or if trump moved his head differently while speaking, we would be having a very different conversation.
If you make a great, almost certainly deadly, swat at a hornet, but it miraculously escapes and stings you in the face, acknowledging that it was a good try at least is fair.
i agree, but also assassinating the president cannot be an easy task, and considering how far away they were, literally grazing his head is a very very good attempt. trump got absurdly lucky here
if we get a video showing something changing on his face before he touches it or falls to the ground, I think that would rule out false flag, or at least they would have had to actually shoot something at him to do that.
