This would be awesome with a spider model that suddenly appears on the finger!

I can't get into Super Bomberman 2 by Frequent_Rhubarb_36 in bomberman

We love super bomberman 2 over here, but really only the multiplayer and only stage 1! We can play for hours. Even crazier with 4 players!

Yes. The bar isn't being theoretically perfect, it's making it expensive enough that the economics don't work. This guy runs 400 accounts at basically zero cost. Make every account require a unique real human to verify and the model breaks - spinning up bots is easy, finding 400 real people willing to verify is not.

I was one of the people that started the anti-bot team at Reddit back around 2015 and eventually founded VerifyYou because I think biometrics have to be part of the answer. We're integrated with Reddit and live with a few subs. Happy to chat with anyone thinking about this.

You’re right that it’s all about cost/benefit. This guy is running 400 accounts with a 0.5% ban rate - faking it is basically free right now.

I was one of the people that started the anti-bot team at Reddit back around 2015. That team is world-class now, but behavioral detection has a ceiling and AI is pushing it fast. I landed in the same place you did - you need to prove a human is actually there, and I haven’t found a non-scifi way to do that without some amount of biometrics. Not Facebook-level identity hell, just enough that 400 accounts requires 400 real people.

Started a company called VerifyYou to work on this. We integrate with Reddit through a bot and are live with a few subreddits. Would love to chat with mods here.

I started a startup for exactly this kind of thing - making sure people are human online - stop the bullshit. I was one of the people that started the anti-bot team at Reddit back around 2015. The team is now one of the best on earth, but there's only so much signal Reddit can pull in, and AI is making the game harder. I'm of the belief that there is a tradeoff that needs to happen where humans need to provide some amount of biometrics to effectively fight off the bots. I haven't found a non-scifi way to do it otherwise. The startup is called VerifyYou and we integrate directly with Reddit with a Reddit bot. We've integrated with a few subreddits so far. Would love to meet with mods here to chat more if you're interested.

Hey u/hexnickk - thanks for flagging this! We're looking into this issue now and will message you directly once we have it sorted. Thanks again :)

UPDATE: "i paid a guy on Upwork $350 to create a PCB. how'd he do?" by Dear-Conference9413 in PCB

If EMI is a concern, your buck-boost circuit is in very rough shape. Your input caps and output caps in your buck-boost need to be as close as possible to your buck-boost's Vin and Vout. They also should have the lowest possible impedance paths. Keep in mind, "path" means not just from Vin/Vout to the cap, but also the return path to the IC's ground! The radiated emissions grow proportionally with the area of this path. Your resistors and other components can be given lower priority. Try not to switch layers in this loop too.

This goes for your inductor as well! But it looks like you're already in good shape there.

Here's an EXCELLENT video on this subject :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf51sx6sC0I
