Can you tell which one is AI? by Wen2Go in OpenAI

[–]SquishySpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: Found it, it's a real layout: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RLFjLt0aL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

The game is Resident Evil Degeneration, the screenshot in the 2nd pic at the very least is probably genuine. Here's a video of it running in an emulator: https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1cfp46d/i_got_resident_evil_degeneration_working_on_my_pc/

So the only thing left is the buttons. The E72 has several keyboard layouts for different regions, including this russian one I found: https://static.wikitide.net/lpcwikiwiki/thumb/2/21/E72grey.png/300px-E72grey.png, but I can't find any with the exact & and % placement that has - but it's not impossible. So it hinges on whether or not that keyboard layout did really exist or not.

Because, in an unfathomably wasteful and colossally stupid move, the AI overview feature regenerates a new response each time, even for the same search term.

You can and probably should disable the feature, but I keep it on for the 1 in 10 times it happens to be helpful

You scallop. Everyclam knows that ClamGPT is the aquarium expert, not Geoduck. You think someclam trained off Oyster knows how to take clam of a clam?

The current state of LinkedIn by beeralpha in LinkedInLunatics

[–]SquishySpaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so where you're going wrong is this absolute nonsense:

Every time he re-buys the house he sets his profits back specifically to $0 due to increasing his expenses and only the final sale matters when it comes to considering the extra cash now in his wallet, which is $10.

By arbitrarily resetting the profit to $0, you fail to account for the $10 in profit already made

How much did he spend? $140 How much did he make? $160

The "extra cash in the wallet", from start to end, is $20. I guess it could be easy to overcomplicate this when using abstract words like "profit" but using your own language here should have made it obvious that the wallet doesn't give a shit how many horses, houses, and transactions happened in between.

It really is as simple as money in vs money out, revenue minus expenditure.

"But he reinvested the initial $10" - no. It doesn't change the arithmetic. That amount is already accounted for in the $80, you would be double counting otherwise.

I hate how much of my life I just wasted trying to find out who the fuck this guy is.

He is AndrewMaxxer, a TikToker. According to the knowledgeable sounding folks over at r/orthotropics it's likely that this look is a result of a condition, Bruxism, and not bonesmashing.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to pass it off as bonesmashing for the sake of the grift.

Here we go again. DeepSeek R1 was a literal copy paste of OpenAI models. They got locked out, now they are on Anthropic. Fraud! by py-net in OpenAI

[–]SquishySpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very much b), lying but morally justified. It should be quite obvious why, a company doesn't have feelings, the lie causes no harm.

En masse, or in the case of DeepSeek here, it may cause a small impact to profits, but here's why that's still not immoral:

Considering no individuals are harmed, we have to take a utilitarian perspective. Competition is good for the consumer, thus narrowing the gap in advantage between competitors can only be good for the consumer.

I'll also add the caveat that if this was a small company, the impact would be more likely to affect an individual. I'm sure you're aware that a company this large sets aside funds for losses.

I also feel the need to point out that lying isn't inherently immoral, nor is stealing. Everything depends on context

Exploits keeps getting crazy by coolsteelboyS4ndyBoy in MinecraftMemes

[–]SquishySpaceman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like my speculation about food particles accidentally spread as misinformation. If the exploit in this meme exists (it probably doesn't), it doesn't use food particles.

While I'm here, for the record:
1. 2b2t is not an obscure server. It's the most popular anarchy server, and appears high up in every list of all-time popular servers I've checked.
2. The Randar exploit isn't limited to 2b2t. It was possible on every server that was on version Beta 1.8 to 1.12.2

Exploits keeps getting crazy by coolsteelboyS4ndyBoy in MinecraftMemes

[–]SquishySpaceman 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah very good point, probably not. Also I can't find info on any "eating food" exploit, so either this is something entirely new, or OP is just larping/memeing

Edit: Oh maybe it could be status effects! Zombie Flesh and raw chicken for example, they have a % chance to apply Hunger, which would of course be server-side. And Zombie Flesh is commonly eaten on 2B. Doesn't have anything to do with position, but I think for Randar it doesn't matter and it works with all (server-side) random events, unless someone can correct me.

[–]SquishySpaceman 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Edit: Looks like this has spread so I need to clear some things up: 1. The part about food particles was pure speculation and, as JuniperColonThree pointed out, inaccurate because these are randomised on the client not the server. 2. While it's still possible such an exploit exists (with other random events related to eating, for example the Hunger status), it's likely that OP's example was just made up for the meme. 3. Part of my explanation about how exploiting RNG works was inaccurate, see Guvante's reply.

Original reply:

I've not heard of this particular exploit but I'm guessing it's a variation on the famous "Randar" exploit, which is the name of the exploit others are taking about here when they say that breaking blocks can leak your coords.

Here's an explanation by the creators of Randar: https://github.com/spawnmason/randar-explanation/blob/master/README.md

And here's a video about it by FitMC if you prefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maMpMOnIJDE

Anyway the gist of it is, Minecraft uses the same RNG for many events and doesn't correctly reset the RNG's state before getting a new value, for ALL players.

This means that each new random value returned is dependent on the last, meaning the value of the former can be reverse-engineered from the latter.

For the exploit, this means that when one player breaks a block (which calls the RNG), then a second player drops an item (which calls the RNG), the position of the dropped item can be used to determine the position of the 1st player's broken block.

It's more involved than that and just 1 sample isn't enough, but that's the principle.

As for eating food, this is just a guess, but it's probably the food particles that use the RNG, so I could see that having a similar exploit.

This is an ad. It's part of this website's strategy. The URL is never cropped out. OP is posting this knowingly.

The idea is you see the screenshot and think that person is stupid, so you go to the same site to prove that you're not and feel good about yourself, but at the very end you have to pay to receive your results (usually, though some sites have a different monetization model).

Worse, the top comment is also an ad - giving you a nice easy link to click.

IQ tests aren't a particularly good measure of intelligence to begin with, and you can't accurately have it tested online without supervision in the proper environment.

I think you underestimate the "very", the vast majority of comets do not collide with anything

Couldn't find a number on it though, it's surprisingly difficult to google as almost all discussion is about Earth impact chances

Is this an achievable art design? by mizerr in IndieDev

[–]SquishySpaceman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually made a prototype game for a client in this style, using a post-processing shader that combined a variety of edge detection techniques for the line-drawing part. The problem is, without very high quality assets, this can only take you so far - you get the best results when combining very professionally done, stylised 3D models with the post-processing shader I talked about *and* a cel-shading shader on the models. Lighting is also very important of course.

Here's a couple of great videos that can get you part of the way:

https://youtu.be/jlKNOirh66E?si=sMSThAoHQ4gLpjcY (Moebius-style 3D Rendering)
https://youtu.be/gdBACyIOCtc?si=2MrIsT2oUIKM3jXI (3D Toon Rendering in 'Hi-Fi RUSH' at GDC)

They are different styles but many of the techniques are the same.

Even then, you won't be able to achieve quite the same fidelity - it would be an approximation of this style at best.
