  • I have never seen or heard of a single example of a study that would be unethical due to true findings being predictably harmful to people.

    These studies are not examples because their methodology doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny. They are not seeking the truth in any way.

  • maybe they were looking for extra special characters like 🁄 or ⶸ. Who am I kidding, RFC 1738 tells us that literally everything is unsafe and you know, we need to prepare for the inevitable occasion when the password somehow ends up inside an URL.

    The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the delimiters around URLs in free text;the quote mark (""") is used to delimit URLs in some systems.The character "#" is unsafeThe character "%" is unsafe

    It ends up with

    Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters$ - _ . + ! * ' ( ) ,are safe

  • Valve hopes the Steam Machine will make devs pay more attention to Linux anti-cheat support

    Jump

  • Rendering is not what you are doing server side.

    No shit sherlock. Rendering requires information about the game, and that information is enough to allow cheating. Aimbots don't need to perform "invalid actions" in order to wreck a game. They just need to be faster and more accurate than most human players. Trying to heuristically detect aimbots is also commonly used alongside other anticheat methods, it just doesn't work (unless you have people manually reviewing individual reported cheaters, but companies try to avoid that because it's expensive and risks false positives).

    Jump

  • Ultimately you either have basically google stadia (with all its technical problems) or you are trusting the client to render the game.

    Even if the client only has exactly the absolute minimum amount of information needed to draw all the things that are visible, that still allows a cheat to see the player coordinates and the coordinates of visible entities, which usually makes eg. an aimbot trivial to make.

  • "Never trust the client" renders entire genres of games inaccessible for a big corporation. But those genres have billions of dollars of potential profit in them. So they will go as far as they can to make the client almost trustable. The average player of a first-person shooter doesn't really think about the implications of kernel-level anticheat at all so it's not a hard choice for them. 95% of them are on windows after all and that already gives kenel access to their PC to some entity they really have no good reason to trust.

  • Billionaires are extremists

  • Those 3,028 people, or 0.000036% of the global population, hold more than 99% of all wealth.

    The actual number is closer to 9% than 99%. This is probably some kind of mutation from "the combined wealth of billionaires is larger than the GDP of 99% of countries" where notably yearly income and wealth are not directly comparable.

    Better (and true) things to say are "The global top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% combined" or "The richest 0.01% in the US have tripled their wealth in the last 30 years, while 90% of people have been treading water"

    of course. Clearly O(n).

  • So I wondered a bit how much it actually affects the economy.

    "S&P 500" companies' market cap is about 57 trillion dollars with a P/E ratio of about 30. So openai by itself is dragging down the total s&p 500 earnings by only about 0.5%. The bigger problem is that there are multiple companies like openAI, and a large chunk of the entire economy's valuation is tied to the promise that all the AI companies will somehow become profitable sometime soon.
