This solved a 20-year mistery for me. If you listen to Pink Floyd - Nobody Home, I think this plays at 3:00

Hey. What is this from?

As someone who’s written tens of thousands of lines of SQL in dozens of environments, this guide has great tips and ugly code… Dear God, my eyes!

Thank you!

Nooo. RFK is an anti-establishment old hat little “d” Democrat like JFK!!! He’s a Kennedy! Don’t look at the .ml in my username instance! \s

I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here’s the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don’t know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it’s EA

3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

• to use AI, not artists
• fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
• sell platforms, not content
• engage algorithmically

They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a “game” (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute “game”

This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

This article suggests that there are a significant number of people who thought that the Lightyear movie failed because it included a same-sex kiss. How out of touch are these corpos?

Dang

Ew. Tim Pool

As a shrimp-type person, I hadn’t realized that some people dummy recognize make/model

Thats what I thought, too. I’ve only seen that movie once on like 2003 and it still lives rent-free in my head.

What?

Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It’s cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don’t want the expense. It’s also lighter.

The problems:

• more serious photographers will want better optics and I don’t think this brand is it
• Sharing optics adds complexity to gear in terms of dust/moisture ingress *Cheap prime lenses are not that expensive. This will cost more *You’re better off with a higher quality zoom lens that covers the range of this system

This is so awesome

So you’re saying it’s relatively slow?
