The just plain wrong. When you vote for speaker you also vote the rules in. Dems will not vote for the same set of rules and likely go back to a traditional and more sane set of rules.

Ahoyoo was known to be a good player, particularly with bombs (his other level, bombs5, is the same kind of tricks).
In 2017, there was no emulator capable of running SMM1 properly, and there was no controller for it to TAS with. So in order to TAS the level, he would have had to build an Arduino, learn to code, detect somehow when the level starts, send inputs to the USB port, enter the right inputs, and try and work out timings which are actually very difficult even in old systems, and very time consuming.
The best players currently are making progress on the level with around 20 hours of practice. Ahoyoo likely had hundreds of hours on this level alone (as the creator even, just to make the level), and it's said he spent thousands of hours playing the game obsessively. Spending more time to TAS would have been counter productive. If not impossible without an emulator (for reasons that are very technical TAS'ing a modern system is close to impossible without a camera and some AI).
Now there is a theory that he could have cheated the video (with editing) and cheated the submission process, but the cheats for submission were not widely known at the time (2017) and Ahoyoo wasn't known as an editor. So he would have needed help etc etc. That leave traces on forums that people likely would have found by now.
Being a good player and obsessed at the game as he was, it's more likely that he beat it fair and square, the way people are getting closer every day to beat it. So with all the evidence we know that accusation doesn't hold.
Edit: well that didn’t age well. I guess he DID have early access to TAS tools.
That video is rumored to be a tas. The only proof of TAS we have is salty egos. It would have also been as hard to TAS on the WiiU at the time than to just practice the level.
Also the creator has another bomb based level where he shows off his skills. It’s technically easier but uses the same tricks as this one.
There’s no serious reasons to believe he didn’t clear it correctly.
There is the Content Authentication Initiative which keeps track of the source of an image (it was taken by this camera, etc). It’s technically impossible to fake as it’s validated, registered and traceable, but who knows. It’s more a database of known images.
Check out Adobe’s Content Authentication Initiative. It won’t prevent those images but it will allow you to verify their source, which in this case should not authenticate.
As opposed to what? Samsung, Intel, AMD and NVIDIA and others are also “rolling their own silicon”. If a vulnerability like that was found in intel it would be much more problematic.
There was this game I wanted to play that required a lot of memory. My dad didn’t want to spend more money on the computer so I spent a few days hacking the bios, config.sys and autoexec.bat to make sure only the bare minimum was met with drivers for the sound blaster and the mouse loaded and enough RAM left for the game to load.
Making the game play was engineering at the time.
Nah it will drop but I bet it’s gonna be a few days before it reaches the low tens. Then the real grind starts with months/years to try to regain value back to the overinflated IPO price.
We’ve seen it with plenty of stocks that IPO’d. This is not unknown territory. There is value in Reddit and there is profit to be had, but it is very under water and overvalued right now.
Investors will dump, employees will dump, price will tank to maybe 20-25$ the first day (after raising for a couple hours I predict, maybe even to 40+$), then a week after the IPO it will be 15-$.
But who the fuck knows. Markets are irrational and it could go down to 5$ the first day as mods and WSB start shorting it and making a mess on social medias.
Multiplicity reboot?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
It’s called a network effect and it’s the same reason everyone is on TikTok or Facebook or here. Like it or not when I started my project (a few months ago) people told me “you need to create a Twitter account, that’s where the people are”. I did, only post updates to the project, don’t use it to actually follow people, but I still have a few dozens followers.
