Wait... they're doing rebate checks? I thought these tariffs were supposed to magically cover the overwhelming budget deficits? And how exactly will they do that when it's being distributed as free money?
Literally trying to bribe their terrible ideas into being popular, while blowing the deficit out even further. 600$ will finally convince Americans their economy is doing well and isn't barrelling towards utter catastrophe at mach speeds. Astounding work.
Honestly, I'm a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn't nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.
I'm relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it's breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it's even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.
Amen to that, here's to hoping.
Mhm, fair enough, I suppose this is a difference in priorities then. Personally, I'm not nearly as worried about small players, like hobbyists and small companies, who wouldn't've already developed something like this in house.
And I brought up "security through obscurity" because I'm somewhat optimistic that this can work out like encryption has, where tons of open source research was done into encryption and decryption, until we worked out encryption standards that we can run at home that are unbreakable before the heat death of the universe with current server farms.
Many of those people releasing decryption methods were considered villains, because it made hacking some previously private data easy and accessible, but that research was the only way to get to where we are, and I'm hopeful that one day we actually could make an unbeatable AI poison, so I'm happy to support research that pushes us towards that end.
I'm just not satisfied preventing small players from training AI on art without permission while knowingly leaving Google and OpenAI an easy way to bypass it.
Exactly, it is an arms race. But if a few students can beat our current best weapons, it'd be terribly naive to think the multiple multi-billion dollar companies, sinking their entire futures into this, and also already amoral enough to be stealing content en masse from the entire internet, hadn't already cracked this and locked everyone involved into serious NDAs.
Better to know what your enemy has then to just cross your fingers and hope that maybe they didn't notice this was possible, and have just been letting us poison their precious AI models they're sinking billions of dollars into. Having this now lets us build the next version of nightshade that isn't so trivially defeated.
Eh, it's a fair point. Not trying something like this is essentially "security by obscurity", which has been repeatedly proven to be a mistake.
Wouldn't surprise me if OpenAI or someone else already had something like this behind closed doors, but now the developers of tools like Nightshade can begin to work on developing AI poison that's more resilient against these kinds of "cleanup" tools.
Might be a good use case for Anubis, in addition to the URLParam passwords mentioned elsewhere. Enough protection to prevent trivial brute force scraping, while also being basically invisible to users.
Ugh, this is what our legacy product has. Microservices that literally cannot be scaled, because they rely on internal state, and are also all deployed on the same machine.
Trying to do things like just updating python versions is a nightmare, because you have to do all the work 4 or 5 times.
Want to implement a linter? Hope you want to do it several times. And all for zero microservice benefits. I hate it.
My guess here is that it isn't Denuvo, it just seems like it's not designed for Open World games. These issues all also exist on console, where Denuvo isn't a problem (although it certainly isn't helping either). Dragon's Dogma 2 exhibited a lot of the same poor performance and stuttering nearly a year before MH Wilds came out.
By then, I assume the game was too far into development to change course, with it's ambitious design and a lot of AI that has to always run in each area adding to the engine issues.
Honestly.... I'm not sure how much better they can make it, given how much time they've had to work on it, and that DD2 never really escaped its issues too. It feels like RE Engine was just... fundamentally not designed for this, no matter how great an engine it is in its niche.
