It's usually not the looks being average why those guys have trouble.
I mean, the national cybersecurity council here saw exploits happening in the wild. So it's definitely possible and practical enough for it to happen.
N64 has historically been one of the more complicated consoles to emulate. Being old is no indicator for complexity. The latest xbox for example internally is much more like a generic pc than the PS3 was (also a complex one to emulate).
At the architectural level, there's definitely a difference yes. But at the smaller scoped implementation level the latest models are pretty good compared to humans. Not perfect by any means, sure, but it's not all drivel anymore. It was 2 years ago, but today's definitely different.
Race conditions are generally harder to catch, even for human devs. And you're saying it as if Linus wouldn't have introduced it had he coded everything by hand, which I don't think is remotely guaranteed (like he never makes mistakes). And the review system clearly works just fine still.
Good developers can accelerate their work with agents, and you're right that you can generate tons of LLM-powered slop with it too. But that's why dismissing anything an agent wrote immediately is also wrong. The review determines if it's good enough, whether a human or an agent wrote it.
Sure, that's why I said "not necessarily". LLMs can be misused and made to do dumb shit too. But I have seen plenty of bullshit come from human developers too.
Verifying LLM code isn't necessarily harder than verifying a human PR. I hope that this also boosts automated test tooling so that it also gets easier to test these PRs, since the focus will shift to review rather than writing.
As is commonly known, in France they brand the word "immigrant" on the forehead of immigrants for easy identification.
Overdrive is not even a decompilation project lmao, it was DMCAd because it offers a way to bypass DRM on games.
It sounds like you're doing quite a bit of stuff already! You can only do so much you know. Don't beat yourself up over what you aren't doing, cheer because you managed to do so much already. Four languages, successful diet, studying tons of subjects, that's well above average compared to what most people are doing (sitting on the couch eating crisps and watching tv after a boring work day).
Sports has always been boring to me too. I get my exercise in by incorporating it into my daily life, e.g. by cycling to work or the supermarket. If you get an electric bike it suddenly becomes much easier to just hop on and go somewhere, since it's not as exhausting, yet you do actually still get most of the benefits from moving. Put on some music or a good podcast and it's not as boring anymore as it used to be. Might I recommend Lateral? It's a quiz show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests, lots of YouTubers but also more famous people like Adam Savage have been on.
Excessive YouTube can also be a bit dulling, you could consider switching to podcasts or something to get away from the constant dopamine-machine that social media provides. It'll help your attention span too.
Still, it doesn't sound like you're a loser. Any changes you make should be made because you want to, not because you feel like you'd be a loser otherwise.
Decompiles aren't DMCAable
So don't kinkshame y'know.
The issue is that smoking marijuana does impair driving, meaning you shouldn't drive. The law needs some kind of proof that doesn't rely on a time machine, so they test your body. Your body can't really tell you when the thc entered your body, so you get two options:
- The test can still prove you were under the influence at some recent-ish moment, so any sufficient amount in your blood means you can't drive.
- The test can't prove it's recent enough for you to have been impaired while driving, so it can't be used as proof, which effectively means you could never be convicted of being under the influence (meaning it's unenforceable).
The former negatively impacts marijuana users who won't be able to drive for some time. The latter means people under the influence could drive and due to their impairment hit and kill someone.
Somewhat obviously, the lawmakers have decided that blocking some people from driving is better than letting someone under the influence drive a speedy death machine. So the law doesn't care whether you were actually impaired; it was in your system, so you're not allowed to drive.
