• The new normal part of this is that AI is really good at identifying security vulnerabilities too obscure for any normal human to catch. Every major piece of software is having a massive increase in vulnerability discovery, and no one is seeing an indication that it’ll plateau once “all the bugs have been fixed”

• Cod Blops 2 was peak CoD IMO. MW and MW2 was where they really figured out the formula. BlOps 1 was where they figured out it needed to still be fun and innovative. MW3 kinda sucked, and BlOps 2 was where they got everything right for the last time. Ghosts was still recovering from all the mistakes of 3, and BlOps 3 completely lost the plot. CoD occasionally remembers that simple gunplay was what made it famous, but nowadays, all online games are about whale fishing, so we’ll never get better than BlOps 2.

• I tried this first-hand. I asked a Python what data classes were and when I should use them. The Python hissed at me. Now, whenever someone suggests using data classes, I just hiss at them. It’s a technique that’s saved me and my code a dozen times!

• I find the funniest part about this case is that flock has detailed logs on everything he did. Who could have guessed that the company dedicated to spying on everyone without a warrant would also be spying on the cops using the service? You wanna take bets on whether or not his usage was used to train an AI?

• Ubuntu has dropped off a cliff in Linux market share. Fedora serves as a near-replacement in UX, and there are some distros that are so optimized as “pre-configured”, they left it in the dust, to say nothing of how Canonical keeps trying to make Ubuntu worse. It used to be famously “Debian but easy”, but now just using Debian sounds like way less of a hassle.

• Perhaps you’re right…or perhaps the Encyclopaedia Galactica is a better tool for navigating the galaxy if you’re willing to learn a trick or two about how to navigate it? No one ever argued that the Restaurant at the End of the Universe was the BEST restaurant, only that it was the one at the end.

• I’m always amazed at Rockstar’s ability to sell a game with the simple sales pitch of “It’s GTA”. We’ve basically seen nothing about this game, and they aren’t well known for managing their existing games well, yet everyone is convinced this will be

  1. Game of the year
  2. Highest grossing game of the decade
  3. Most innovative piece of software ever

  Despite only seeing a pre-rendered trailer up to now. We don’t even know any members of the cast on IMDb.

  I think we’ve completely lose the plot on game development.
