On the other hand, they’re used to working with low-level concepts from their day job!

And it’s clear we’re nowhere near achieving true AI, because those chasing it have made no moves to define the rights of an artificial intelligence.

Which means that either they know they’ll never achieve one by following the current path, or that they’re evil sociopaths who are comfortable enslaving a sentient being for profit.

That time bomb has already been planted. Some of the “Big Beautiful Bill”'s worst provisions, the ones that royally fuck over their own constituents, were specifically set to not kick in until after midterms. If Democrats sweep the elections, expect them to be blamed for the sudden implosion of the economy.

The global firestorm gave them a nice natural smoky flavor that’s unmatched to this day.

Super Mario World uses a sprite slot system where a limited amount of memory is set aside and reused for on-screen objects. Normally stuff simply won’t spawn if you’re at or over the object limit, but using glitches to go over this limit leads to all sorts of weird stuff, like being able to spawn a glitched item that ends the level immediately.

Super Mario 64 has a similar object limit with equally broken results when you manage to bypass it.

You can go through walls in World, too! I remember doing it in one of the early cave levels after reading about it online, though aside from some messed up physics it didn’t lead to anything interesting.

If you want to learn more about why this is possible in excruciating technical detail (including stepping through assembly code and discussing memory layout), check out the channel Retro Game Mechanics Explained.

I think this particular bug is covered in either this video about level end glitches or its sequel.

This and many other stupidly precise tricks, like pixel-perfect jumps against the sides of walls or a plethora of bugs involving Yoshi and his tongue.

The most common use of this particular bug is what’s shown in the image, carrying a shell and a key at the same time. You need to throw the shell against a wall while falling and land on it to extend your jump past what’s normally possible, while also carrying the key across the gap. It’s everywhere in Kaizo runs.

Unless their goal is to catch common mistakes to improve their code analysis and quick fixes, in which case this plan is secretly brilliant.

NASA are so dumb for sending their satellites all the way into space. Why don’t they simply float them above the trees as the wise and majestic owl teaches us?

(Jk, in case there’s any doubt)

Of course, we don’t have enough pristine ice left to waste it on them!

Yeah, that’s why I said worse than Stark. He pivoted away from supporting the Military-Industrial Complex when he realized it was hurting people, whereas Batman hasn’t.

It’s just odd since Batman is supposed to have ironclad ethics, whereas Iron Man is famously a hypocritical ass (though much less so in the MCU than in the comics, from what I’ve heard).

This feels unnecessary and overblown. From what I’ve heard, the exploit in question requires a local file and only operates at the privilege level of the game itself, so you’re unlikely to encounter it unless you’re adding files to your game install.

So you’re vulnerable if you install malicious mods, in other words. Which, considering Unity mods are done via DLL injection, is already the case even without this exploit.

How hard was it to maintain your sanity while working on this? Whenever InfernoPlus goes into detail on working with Halo’s content creation tools, it sounds like the most painful jury-rigged mess imaginable.

Edit: misread your post, thought you were the creator.

So Bruce Wayne is somehow worse than freaking Tony Stark?

Then again Stark is an inventor and comics-level genius who lacks a secret identity, so pivoting to another industry was way easier for him. Bruce Wayne probably can’t change his company too much without losing a ton of pull and drawing unwanted attention to himself, plus losing access to the gadgets he relies on.

Technology Connections just released a video a few days ago with a partial focus on these and tracking down issues yourself.

Roger Ailes, too. He was the one who revamped conservative news into propaganda mills in direct response to Nixon’s resignation.

I was having terrible performance problems in Windows a while back, and it turned out it had marked every drive as removable and the write cache was filling up due to an extremely slow external HDD, causing even the internal SSDs to grind to a halt until the buffer was flushed whenever a large amounts of writes were made to the HDD. Which, since the external drive was used for backups and large Steam games, was almost every other day.

If this happens often, you can disable write caching for that drive. It’ll feel slightly slower (since it’s actually operating at the speed of the hardware instead of caching operations in RAM and gradually writing them to disk in the background), but you’ll be able to remove the drive almost instantly.
