I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it's on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don't see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn't one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That's all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I'm impressed

Functionally the same for most people. A VPN is a virtual LAN so you can access other computers on it. Ex. company's internal websites from a remote location

Proxy just forwards traffic like a gateway. In both cases the source is hidden. LANs have gateways too

I often felt that current ML speeds up newbie devs by effectively teaching them the language and libraries — but slows down experts that already know the stack well from memory. I started coding in a new language and system, and ML can be a bit faster to teach me things and provide simple snippets than stack overflow

But over time I've learned that there are very specific things that ML can do really well, and I can save time when I apply those techniques. For example, it's excellent at converting from one language or style to another, ex migrating configs from json to yaml. It's also pretty good at writing configs or generating template code based on them. It's good at picking an emoji from a list. It can write small functions or provide a template html layout. So I humbled myself and started integrating it into my workflow where it actually works

That's the best kind of science article. No catchy headline & too complicated even in a summary

It's actually a very sophisticated game of D&D where they are larping as lawyers in a world where they are not beholden to the spirit of the law

Yeah tldr is "rust good", "ai overrated", "i only care about the kernel and won't answer your questions"

Lemme apps are better now anyway, and no ads

[–] lung@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know

[–] lung@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wow positive supreme court news, wild. Tldr might be that users have a right to post and do stuff on the site, site owners have right to moderate and promote as they see fit, governments aren't not allowed to stomp on free speech on these platforms or coerce the platforms?

That's like one thing ML can actually help with XD cute cat

 

My new design direction for neovim is "you just sat down in a homie's spaceship and have no idea what any of the buttons do" -- you can see how I did it here with tabby.nvim: https://github.com/Garoth/Configs/blob/da354cd98241dc7582718a9082226fab99403e4a/nvim/init.vim#L752

I'm an oldschool vim guy, so a lot of my plugin tastes lean towards the ancient. Telescope?? Nah I had that figured out with fzf.vim many years ago, and it's stupid fast. Harpoon? Nah, I have marks, permanent undo and location memory, alternate files, fast search. Plus I love using fzf in my terminal so it all blends together so well. I still use vim-plug, it's pretty much perfect, and have no interest in lazy or whatever the new flavor-of-the-year package manager is

Neovide continues to be what I believe is the future of neovim. The performance is best in class, probably theoretically better than even terminals can achieve (since rendering can be done much more selectively, understanding vim concepts like floating windows and such, which have compositing in neovide). The idea of "progressive improvements" in a GUI rather than trying to make something totally different is a great call. In the future, they are likely to implement a new age of image rendering too, which would be aware of z-index layering (so you could have a floating window on top of an image -- current image-in-terminal approaches just put the image on top)

Airline -- well, this is in the category of "if it aint broke dont fix" -- Airline has been in development for like 11 years and has 2700+ commits, 17k+ stars on github. I mean, this is a ridiculous history, that's more work than most projects on github, just for a statusline. I don't tend to chase trends or replace vim code with lua - who cares - vimscript is stable and reliable

Shoutout to the Maple Mono font -- with a lot of amazing ligatures that I didn't have before, super cozy. Demo recorded on an 7 year old samsung chromebook running Wayland/Pipewire Arch with a dualcore cpu, 4gb of ram, 14nm intel integrated graphics, and a 32gb harddrive. Linux is so cool, being able to do that. The ending was... not on purpose lmao

 

Hey guys I'm one of the most active mods of the Joplin reddit. I'd like to be modded here too and help build the community / roll people over

Hey guys, I'm currently one of the active members the neovim reddit (hugelung), and I'm in full support of migrating to lemmy. I was hoping to be modded here, and helping migrate content / roll people over
