No, there have been a bunch of new cracks in the recent months by the same author who made this crack. RE9 is the first time they've cracked a game that just very recently came out. This means that any upcoming games will likely be cracked quickly as well, unless the Denuvo developers make some big changes in how their protection works.

To be fair, it was an old pornographic game from Japan that features characters who are still minors. The customs agents should probably have simply disposed of it instead of sending it forward.

February 13th is a pretty close deadline. They should at least have given a month.

It's starting to sound an awful lot like a Ruligion.

This may just be bad recollection from my part, but hasn't Google reported that their search business is right now the most profitable it has ever been?

Fixing the seed wouldn't necessarily make LLMs deterministic. LLMs do lots of computation in parallel and the order in which these computations are performed is often indeterministic and can lead to different final results.

It's Kinugawa, and Akihabara is written as 秋葉原.

New comment by happa in "Judge rejects Meta's claim that torrenting is “irrelevant” in AI copyright case"

Quoting Judge Alsup from his recent ruling in Bartz v. Anthropic.

> Instead, Authors contend generically that training LLMs will result in an explosion of works competing with their works — such as by creating alternative summaries of factual events, alternative examples of compelling writing about fictional events, and so on. This order assumes that is so (Opp. 22–23 (citing, e.g., Opp. Exh. 38)). But Authors’ complaint is no different than it would be if they complained that training schoolchildren to write well would result in an explosion of competing works. This is not the kind of competitive or creative displacement that concerns the Copyright Act. The Act seeks to advance original works of authorship, not to protect authors against competition.

LLMs don't really need more training data than they already have. They just need to start using it more efficiently.

Farmers won't stop getting forecasts. They simply get their forecasts from someone other than NOAA.

There is no source since it's not true. The product manager of Flutter/Dart said on Twitter that there was no change in team size, only some DevOps roles moving to other (likely cheaper) locations.

People love to say this but rarely provide concrete examples. Google has a habit of discontinuing unsuccessful services, not technologies like SDKs or whole programming languages.

It's morally wrong to ask donations for someone else's work. I'll reevaluate my opinion once they achieve something original.

It's one thing to have hot reload and another to have it also preserve the whole app state like Dart/Flutter does.
