How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.

If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.

You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.

oh no! Not Johnny drop tables!

Dreaming of your code when sleeping.

Falsifiable hypotheses and experiments that you can empirically measure?

I find the downvotes here delicious, this video is from a VERY thoughtful creator who is thanking people for taking some of their precious seconds on this planet to interact with each other. Positive or negative he appreciates everyone.

It’s the most positive, chill, good vibes video I’ve ever seen.

Downvotes are open, but yeah, not currently exposed to every client, but its possible :) Maybe a server can show a sentiment score for a user, i do know one lemmy fork actually does that already, but I forgot which one.

Yeah, I would love to see a user score on names (in addition to account age we have now):

How combative they are (i.e. referring to people as nazi’s, hitler, philes, ists, etc)

How likely they are to downvote a post vs upvote

How positive they can be (i.e. saying nice things)

True, it was a really well done clone, but it was well done. The game worked. It wasn’t terribly buggy.

My favorite theory is internal politics meant that the people who knew it was going to fail couldn’t prevent the game from going live without extreme cost to themselves. And they would be blamed for it.

Letting the game go live, was probably the least politically expensive thing for them to do. Even though everybody knew the outcome

I always feel weird about street performers being put on streaming platforms, when the consent is questionable. At least in this case her billboard is visible.

Cattle! Not pets!

It’s great that they built their vision, not that you have to like it. Their vision was well executed, but failed to perform in the market place. They didn’t buy into a starwars IP and change how light sabres work, they built their own thing. It’s great that we got to see this grand market experiment.

One take away from all this discourse is that Concord is great, it should exist, but it should be measured on its merits. Sony is demonstrating some of their issues, and that their development machine is miscalibrated for the current market.

Swinging for the fences is great, even if you miss, but when you have a large development team working on those fence swings, you have a duty to your people to ensure they have jobs, so taking big risks in a 200 person studio… that is irresponsible to your people

Rest in Peace.

Looking at the channels thumbnails over time is really tragic to see. Good spirit the whole time!

Other More Specific Concord Video’s

Luke Stephens: https://youtu.be/mvGQeDxJA-U - We might see it come back as a live service, but that would be unlikely.

Oujirou YT - https://youtu.be/BeyTd2xS9xk - Talks about the impact of concord on its developers, and lessons to take away for your own game development studio.

Previously Ojirou YT - Talks about speculative cost analysis of Concord - https://youtu.be/xxbkuBv_d_0 … about 88 million usd, or about 25 million in the last year.

So for sony to keep the studio alive and work on concord for a re-release (free to play, new heros, single player campaign, etc), that would cost at LEAST 25 million more monies

Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.

You’re applying peer pressure, you’re trying to signal purity, but it’s not a convincing argument. It just means I’m less likely to listen to your following argument after you’ve said terrible things about me.

regardless, this interaction Demonstrates to OP how toxic talking about politics can be on lemmy

Fair enough. I see what you’re saying, but I’m a single issue voter since I don’t really care about the purple party. I just care about avoiding a war with China.

Hi. I am, kinda.

In my estimation trump is more likely to avoid a war with china then Harris. So given two terrible choices I choose trump.

They both represent the purple party, and are basically the same for most issues, they are both pro genocide for instance.

But I don’t find that a interesting topic of conversation, the captured us political system is broken and the way to address it is with voting system reform. That’s the real conversation

update: thanks for the downvotes, its a good reminder of why i don’t participate in the political communities here.

Because you’re operating system is lying to you, for efficiency sake.

Imagine an old school library, books on the shelves, and a Dewey decimal card catalog index in the center.

You want to delete a book, to make room for future books, so you tell the librarian delete this book. And she removes the card from the card catalog index, and turns to you and says the book is gone!

In this scenario the book is still on the shelf, but the index no longer points to it.

Clearly the book isn’t gone, but from your perspective you don’t have to wait for the book to disappear, and the librarian knows eventually she’s going to clean the shelf, and remove whatever isn’t in the index.

That’s more or less, with a lot of hand wave in, what operating systems do for file systems.
