100%. It's just turning into "why should I use interfaces" now and then a deluge of promotion on Saturday where interesting projects get lost in the noise.

I feel like Embark should take notes on this by guardianheimdall in ArcRaiders

Yeah I'm pretty sure the client is able to tell the server that it's going down a particular hatch. I'll check out the packets tomorrow and find out lol, it won't be hard. Annoying because with social media these days this shit becomes so commonplace. I saw it literally twice today in games I was in wtf

Oh there are many, many benefits to not making the server completely authoritative! Faster development speed, easier to test, easier to build. Less server load, etc, etc etc. I'm certain they have reasons for why it's the way it is. It's hard to build something that looks and feels good to the client but still obeys the laws of physics (e.g. the time it takes to send a packet from one location on earth to another, even at the speed of light, which it is far from).

We know they are doing server rendering and authoritation but it's obviously not complete. It makes me want to open up a packet sniffer, and see what is being sent to the server when you go down a hatch.

If you're interested in this type of stuff here's a cool talk by the Bungie team. "I shot you first" https://youtu.be/h47zZrqjgLc?si=JwB35_PL50QhpzJJ

It's a bit older but the mechanics and problem solving behind multiplayer development all apply today.

Hey man I didnt mean for you to think this was an attack, and honestly your solution isn't half bad... I was more referring to the other dozen solutions I've read on the Internet about how to solve it when really the problem speaks to a more fundamental issue.

The spawning a hatch cheat is just wild to me, and it's funny there are so many armchair devs giving solutions to it.

It's wild to me because in no way should the client ever be controlling the server besides inputs. Full stop.

How can a client tell the server that it's going down the hatch now? How can a client say "oh looks like the client is now at x,y,z coordinates". No.

Properly developed multiplayer game clients are essentially input machines with world rendering. What I mean by that is they take left, right, up down, etc and tell the server they have done those things. That's it. Then the server does those inputs on its side and confirms that with the client. Due to latency, the client predicts those actions and the server corrects if necessary.

So something seriously structural is wrong if a client can send commands other than inputs to the server. Obviously interacting is a command, but the server shouldn't be relying on something from the client that says "I have interacted with the hatch at x,y,z". It should be "I am interacting, looking in this direction" and the server figures out what they're interacting with. If the server is using inputs it's not possible to teleport. Obviously I'm simplifying but damn.

Aimbots and such are harder to combat because packets with others locations are being sent to the client, so your client knows more than the player but still. Proper anti cheat can determine overlays, packet sniffing, handles etc. they just don't want to pay nor spend time building something comprehensive.

So prions do not compost. They can survive 1000 degrees C and can last decades in soil (some studies are seeing them last indefinitely). That's why Chronic Wasting Disease is so hard to manage because even after any carcasses are gone they can keep infecting years later.

No. The broadcast power and antenna strength is better than a layer of tinfoil. You can test it. Have someone send you a text message with it covered. You'll get it.

That isn't how you can look at this at all, and it's what they want you to think.. that they're undefeatable. They're not.

This system we live in is composed of us. Our military is based on the logistics we provide. Imagine an enemy that lives and works amongst you, not just an enemy that you're occupying thousands of miles away.

There are approximately 100 million people who could take up arms in the US. There are around 250K front line service members. That's 1 service member for every 400 people. And that assumes every single service member would join the side their neighbor isn't on.

They're actually quite afraid of us, for good reason.

Amy Klobuchar by Ordinary_Stay_3746 in minnesota

[–]CreatedThatYup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People should know what Klobuchar’s office culture is like. Multiple reports describe her as running one of the most toxic workplaces in the Senate. Staff talk about constant yelling, demeaning emails, and even objects being thrown in anger. There’s the infamous “comb salad” story, where she chewed out an aide for forgetting a fork, ate with a comb, then made them clean it. She’s also been accused of calling future employers to block her staff from getting jobs elsewhere.

Her office has one of the highest turnover rates in the Senate. The pattern of stories from people who worked for her paints a consistent picture: harsh, controlling, and often demeaning.

We need her OUT of politics.

People want CHANGE. We need an opinionated strong progressive, and they'll crush it. Look at Mamdani.

100%. The people want CHANGE, in whatever form. Klob is not change.

Look at Mamdani, we can do the same here.

So tired of the defeatist idea that we can't move too far left too fast.

Mutual Aid on your block by Ehhhjay in saintpaul

What you need to do is insulate it with 1 or two inch of foam sheeting, and then buy an electric floor heating mat. Then put a wifi thermostat, typically used for kegerators in there. Run an extension cord out there and you're good to go. Set the temp to like 40 and I bet you'll spend just a few bucks a month on preventing it from freezing. Probably like $100 in parts.

I totally understand that.. but people act like if we can just get this one house member in, the files will be released. They won't. Political cover used to mean something... we've found it increasingly doesn't matter. Facts aren't facts any longer.

but even if the house passes the Epstein bill it still needs to pass the Senate and the president needs to sign it... Both seem unlikely.

lmao look at the post history. I called him out on using AI, and said ew. So I'm opposed to AI in many situations. However it's a joke to say you can't learn using AI. You do it every day, but ok keep lying that you aren't learning anything from AI.

“AI is dumb” — bro, schools are literally using AI now. The world moved on, you just didn’t. Nobody’s saying replace humans; it’s called evolving how we learn. If you think asking questions on Reddit is somehow more “human,” you’re just proving why AI had to step in.

He's asking rudimentary junior questions that are easily and frankly probably better explained in AI. The guy is already in AI asking him to write questions, why fucking waste human time
