    I’m in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I’ll never be in the Top 1%.

    Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

    Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

    With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.

    I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

    The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

    Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

    I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.

    they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality

    It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.

    Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:

    Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.

    Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.

    Well, what war? War against who? Against what?

    "Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.

    We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.

    Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.

    I’m an AI Developer.

    TLDR: CUDA.

    Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.

    You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …

    Inhales

    And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF

    You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.

    Yeah honestly, I bought Tarkov second-hand for $8 and even then I felt like I was getting ripped off.

    It’s probably not news to anyone but the game has extremely lax anti-cheat controls.

    As for why people would cheat in an online game, it always seems obvious from a psychological standpoint, but the cheats for Tarkov are so egregious they’re like full blown developer offline DEBUG TOOLS.

    I don’t mean “oh no, aim assistance, and they can see you through walls” – the cheat tools are hooking into features of the GAME ENGINE ITSELF, allowing players to see:

    PlayerName, Current HP, Current Level, Full inventory contents, currently equipped weapon, position, heading, estimated value of inventory, estimated value of your account, age of account creation, and so on.

    They can also: Teleport, FLY, increase or decrease their run speed, jump height, and so on.

    The cheaters are basically running around with admin privileges in the game, and the developers don’t give a flying fuck. It’s like GTA5 levels of cheating.

    Why would anyone play such a game, much less pay $150 to be abused by people? You can slam your dick in a car door for a lot less.

    My first Android was an HTC Hero, which was released in ~ October of 2009.

    One of the first things I did was swap the location of the Maps and Store icons to make it easier to reach on the edge of the phone.

    I recall people complaining that same year that the iPhone 1 couldn’t copy or paste text.

    I recall it being an argument in a high school debate club or someother which made it’s way onto 4chan and found supporters, who then proceeded to do what 4chan does best, and troll people/targets of their derision. Basically they assumed no one was stupid enough to believe it and were shockingly surprised.

    Hell yeah dude! What a small world.

    I used to be called DarkLegacy back on SC B.Net, I made a map called Chaos War with StarEditPlus - UMS – the basis of the MoBA genre (the core gameplay loop of attack move trigger spawning units was later copied into countless maps, including Hero Arena, and subsequently, Defense of the Ancients!)

    O/

    Make it so.

    It takes a few weeks for your face to get used to being shaved by a safety razor but once it is, my god.

    It’s like the MSPaint Erase Tool in real life. I used to do electric razor only going over and over and over

    Now it’s like almost pornographic how easy it is to shave – one swipe down, two, three, four… half the face is hairless.

    Four swipes left, left side is hairless.

    Four swipes under the moustache and bam.

    Highly recommended getting over the beginner’s curve, watch some YouTube videos but here’s a Linux primer on how to do it:

    1. Fill shaving cream bowl or basin with warm (not hot water).
    2. Allow horsehair brush to soak in basin for 1-5 minutes.
    3. Shake excess water off the brush
    4. Add about half a toothpaste brush amount of shaving cream to the basin, stir into a rich lather, consistency of yogurt. If it’s foaming up/running there’s too much water. I recommend PRORASO, Menthol (Refresh). One $10 tube lasts 3-6 months. Extremely cost effective.
    5. Run some warm/hot water on a very low pour from sink. This is used to wash hair off your razor between passes.
    6. Sterilize your safety razor with a 55-75% isopropyl alcohol spray. This is optional but prevents any kind of infections, because these razors basically slice open everything including pimples.
    7. Lather up your face. Sides, bottom, moustache, whatever.
    8. Don’t apply excess/heavy pressure, these razors are extremely sharp. Go down in a stripe, flip razor over, do another stripe. Down cuts hair, holding at a mild angle, across (left right) cuts your skin, so never try to slide the razor across your face.
    9. Go slow, practice, once your face is used to it, it becomes second nature and shaving is 10× more pleasurable and convenient than those disposable razors or whatever.
    10. It’s good enough that I recommend it to other people. I’m a man, few things make me actually feel like a man more than a good/proper shave.
