Many astrophysics people branch out since it requires a decent amount of applications in programming/computer systems, and there are only so many post doc positions out there. I’d say “hi egg you look great today”, [+]Confident-Victory-21 51 points52 points53 points 1 month ago (62 children). Dream’s speedruns had come under sever scrutiny after a 29-page investigative report was made available by the Minecraft Speedrunning team. [–]pantsonhead 19 points20 points21 points 1 month ago (0 children). Even if they are technically from a source other than. With the amount of money Dream's sized content creator makes, he could have easily gotten a believable person who could vouch for it publicly. You're right of course because it's not rocket science. The program was designed to allow you to continue into the PhD program and those that couldn’t cut it just finished with a masters. He kinda cheated and it's a bit awkward to do this", [–]Nascent_Space 215 points216 points217 points 1 month ago (44 children), Since when did Minecraft become about insanely detailed statistical analysis done by astrophysicists, [–]TFK_001 128 points129 points130 points 1 month ago (10 children), Due to the randomness in generation, a lot of RNG needs to go in your favor to get a good run. [+]Fine-Zone 41 points42 points43 points 1 month ago (0 children). I know people are probably tired of hearing about this, but I thought it would be transparent to release his response. ", [–]AUniquePerspective 73 points74 points75 points 1 month ago (2 children). This is standard in this type of work. Most people would've just gone "lol okay" but he had to have a hissy fit and attack the mods who have essentially gone "uhhhh sorry guys but uhm. And somehow those odds are somehow perfectly realistic. He was able to get certain results too consistently for things that have heavy RNG. Most submissions do not make the cut, and please do not treat removals under rule 2 as a personal attack, they simply happen with our content model. I did not know they were streamed and now I do. like even that is understandable, just own up to it and be like oh shit I forgot about it, my bad guys! I mean even before this debacle. There's no chance anyone read through either of the reports. I think that Figure 2 shows the clearest that dream has modified drop rates. We're all laughing but it would be a lie to say it wasn't a success. Dream hires Harvard astrophysicist to disprove Minecraft cheating accusations, when you can just link the reddit directly, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EvxcvO4-guI73FH5pMUJ-zEHhV-L1yuJ/view, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P58S94yKB3Bm4A4_VotWyeelk_PvaTE1nDZx9DalEyk/edit#gid=0.

[–]elmonoenano 22 points23 points24 points 1 month ago (2 children). The fact that he claims to have hired someone who's primary field doesn't seem related certainly makes it harder to take this rebuttal seriously. I mean, getting paid isn't the issue. Instead of the 6 runs the mod team went over, he also included 5 previous runs which obviously would skew the numbers in a massive fashion, especially if those were 5 runs that were not under scrutiny and considered legitimate. He either screwed up or intentionally did this. The conclusion was therefore that he probably cheated by editing his game files somehow. I don't think this is it at all... but what if dream legit somehow fucked up coding a plugin and it did actually somehow fuck up his vanilla minecraft or java etc etc.. and from his POV he is like I am legit though.. and all this drama is from a computer error due to bad programming.

[–]I_cant_afford_pubg 244 points245 points246 points 1 month ago (16 children), Now just imagine a world where dream says "yeah I cheated in Minecraft lol" and then continues to get millions of views and no one gives a shit because it's a Minecraft speed run, [+]Zirze 61 points62 points63 points 1 month ago (3 children). 3.

[–]SambaMarqs 184 points185 points186 points 1 month ago* (45 children), My thoughts exactly, plus some of his arguments in the response video are like "someone will be the luckiest player and someone will be the unluckiest player" whcih is just so dumb bc he was the luckiest but by A LOT, He did point out some good flaws with the voluntaries' math, but it all sounded so patronizing, like how he insisted on saying the mods are young every third sentence. Unsure about minecraft claims. We do care about how many times he has streamed, since those are additional opportunities for Dream to have been noticed getting extremely lucky, and if he had gotten similarly lucky during one of those streams an investigation still would have occurred. The author also believes that Dream cheating is a strong conclusion. Some people noticed he finds way too many rare materials so they concluded that he uses cheats to increase the chance of finding those materials. Good astrophysicists (could just say “physicist”) would generally be expected to have a firm grasp of statistics, as the work often requires it (applied physics tends to revolve around detecting signals in high noise).

But thats how I see it (im most likely wrong anyways), edit; for anyone curious, I do know astrophysicists are just as capable as what I listed above, but tl;dr from another comment I made, "Some troll would take advantage of ignorant people, accumulate a large group by convincing them that astrophysicist only study space, and wouldn't know what they're talking about.

[–]WolfeCreation 159 points160 points161 points 1 month ago* (1 child), It's also trivially easy to make a back-up of all game files in a different directory so that you can sub them back in later, which should still bear the older last modified date, [–]Niccolo101 12.4k points12.4k points12.4k points 1 month ago (342 children). [–]Voldemort57 468 points469 points470 points 1 month ago (24 children), If I were dream, I would have said that “I use a plug-in that reduces the RNG component of speed running in my manhunt series, as it helps improve the quality of the videos, in our experience. The guy Dream hired even says "...this provides very strong evidence that Dream cheated" It's finally over! His record runs were found to be awfully fishy because of the insane amount of luck they would require -- luck that was far too consistent. The fact the authors name is missing and that the paper has no references, is poorly formatted, and includes a "Who wrote this paper" section all make me think that this is a guy who did 2 semesters of stats at university and learned LaTeX. I believe it's not based off his Youtube, but based off back to back runs on stream. However, what luck Dream actually got in any other instance is irrelevant to this analysis, as it has absolutely no bearing on how likely the luck was in this instance.

Dream’s response video on the Minecraft cheating scandal gets torn apart on various social media platforms.

I know Harvard Astrophysicist sounds impressive, but we aren't talking about physics are we? [–]tonufan 19 points20 points21 points 1 month ago (1 child). A prominent member of /r/statistics (and notably someone who has a name and is not influenced by Dream or the situation at all) has reviewed the counter-claim and debunks a large amount of their arguments, calling the document "amateur." [–]Alkalinum 338 points339 points340 points 1 month ago (6 children). His fans would jump on that band wagon 100% and not feel distrust.. not that it matters since most of his fans will still watch anyways. Really interesting but it was so long ago that I saw it I can't even remember what it would be called. You need high ender pearls drop rates from piglins, high blaze rod rates from blazes, among several other factors, yet these two were the most apparent. Dream hired an anonymous expert to look into the probability for himself. That is pretty much the definition of hacking. I mean that's just the most stereotypically impressive degree probably besides surgeon and yet it doesn't even really make much sense for the occasion, wouldn't a statistician or even someone with a software development or game design degree (if that even exists) be more apt for the task. A freak event is still possible, but it happening in separate systems altogether and several times starts to stink. Play free anywhere, anytime. The blaze rods and pearls come from different randomizers in the code, one entity and the other world. Regardless, while most people have talked about various aspects of the video itself, some addressed how it did not serve the purpose Dream said it would.

Bye bye. A lot of speedrunning is based off of trust of other runners to not cheat, otherwise the leaderboard means nothing. The company is also completely fake/doesn't exist and there's no contact information on the website. [–]Averill21 1334 points1335 points1336 points 1 month ago (95 children).

Sometimes that dream involves speed cheating, like this one. [–]FiddlerOfTheForest 408 points409 points410 points 1 month ago (91 children). The whole speed running world is full of pocket stories like these. When I wake up I almost have this urge to find the guy I dreamed about. In case you didn't know, Dream's a very-well known Minecrafter, with some insane skill at the game. You might be thinking of the people that used a hidden computer to calculate a most likely number given input as to where the ball was relative to the wheel when it was released. Servers 1.15.

[–]Sjatar 695 points696 points697 points 1 month ago (26 children), Chapter 7.3: "Dream has provided me with data on the other 5 streams. Witch hunting or brigading is not allowed. Stuff that are in the 1 in a trillion, but it still happens sometimes" (I'm writing this from memory so this is not how he said it exactly but still), Does he know how many events happens in a day in the world/galaxy? It seems incredible that they did not double check data that was provided by the accused. The Minecraft Speedrunning Team is holding firm in their ruling that Dream cheated his Minecraft Java Edition 1.16 RSG speedrun from October.. Videos are only allowed if they are accompanied by a complete text article. Depending on your direction (simulations/cosmology in particular) you do get some special statistics, but I guess that this case just requires basic statistics and the PhD is there for authority reasons moreso than expertise, [–]SentorialH1 503 points504 points505 points 1 month ago* (16 children). If you know about minecraft speedrunning, you almost definitely know about dream. I have a master’s degree in a field that uses a lot of applied mathematics. Aaand the asthrophisicist mf may actually not exist and actual statisticians on r/statistics examined the paper and found that it was chock full of mistakes...

It's actually more shocking to find out they did it entirely clean tbh.
