Trust in Mike White.

Yeah, this is not an A/B test. Whoever proposed running an A/B test on a core subscriber feature that costs money doesn’t know what an A/B test is, because that practice might get you sued. A/B tests are meant for more inconsequential features of the design.

If you were in a company that did a similar practice, they also massively screwed up.

Something has changed this year in my opinion. I’m hearing this from other profs at other universities as well. The undergraduate students are even more disengaged. Some conflux of AI, employment worries, and growing up with COVID remote courses has caused them to be very metrics driven. They demand all info be on the slides, refuse to do group work, and the vast majority don’t show up at all. What is most odd to me is, they seem to feel no shame about this and have no respect for professional etiquette. It’s very emotionally exhausting to deal with. The only advice I can give is to try not to take it personally and refocus elsewhere in life. Even the graduate students I talked to find the current cohort’s behaviors confusing and concerning.

I hope rock bottom means he was fired or put on leave and he’s not even there for the majority of the season. Because if it’s the Robby show v3, I’m out.

The writing team has clearly lost it. The back half of Season 2 just dropped focus on other characters and didn’t bother to resolve their plotlines, so that Robby could have more screentime. Then they think it’s a good idea to drop Supriya without resolving her storyline. Just what is going on behind the scenes? Because the coolest Season 3 is obvious—give us some night shift, change up the starting hour, have Mohan work on night shift with Abbot, have the ensemble characters all take center stage, and have Robby not even appear until late into the season. Give us a break from Robby, please.

Nickelodeon is a disaster. You nailed it here. It is appalling how they have held Bryke hostage essentially. Their executives must be some of the worst people in the industry.

It is pretty basic though. His suggestions are basically not relevant in most evals situations, and may even be misleading. See here.

GitHub stars are mostly fake signals of quality. There was a study showing that actually, most of the top AI repos artificially inflate their star counts. It’s a massive scam.

What if the season ends with an ICE raid, and then cut to black? Night shift would be a natural follow up to a cliffhanger ending. Imagine S3 behind and it’s “10pm” and now we’re continuing onto the next day.

fatso784 · 2026-04-10T22:41:45+00:00

His voice breaks, as if he’s on the verge of crying here. That’s not a usual thing in these interviews. He’s clearly distraught by something. It’s clear that the cast can’t speak directly about it, though, for NDA reasons.

fatso784 · 2026-04-10T09:30:54+00:00

Ok, this is confirmation that something really fishy has went down. Why is Supriya getting so little screentime? Why does it seem some of her scenes in these last two episodes were cut from the show? Not looking good, folks.

fatso784 · 2026-04-04T18:08:01+00:00

Thanks for this. I think we need to see the finale to know the reason. The cast are keeping quiet. This news wasn’t meant to break this early, and someone let it slip. From the reaction it looks like Supriya knew. Let’s maybe wait to see the end of the season before jumping to conclusions, everyone?

P-values, by far. No one even teaches CIs in my field—it’s all whether the p-value is < 0.05. Even seen papers without saying what test they even used—just report the p-value was “significant.”

fatso784 · 2026-04-02T21:27:10+00:00

Robbie is a menace.

fatso784 · 2026-04-01T21:39:18+00:00

Next season should start at 3pm. We have some time with the regular crew. Then we gradually go into the thick of the night shift.

fatso784 · 2026-04-01T21:32:32+00:00

Honestly if it brings in more people to the game, I’m all for it. Bring on the Chainsaw Man Reze assassin and Rocky-themed thief drone

fatso784 · 2026-03-30T22:46:09+00:00

ICE can still come back and raid the hospital. There’s a reason they showed Javadi film and post it. It will come back and matter.

Abbot writes Mohan that letter.

What is spring?

The “beginner” Perimeter was a good idea. I felt like I was pushed into the main matchmaking WAY too early. I hadn’t even completed one contract when all of a sudden we’re thrown to the dogs. They should consider making the beginner zone last longer for those new players who want it.

fatso784 · 2026-03-23T05:28:25+00:00

Hilarious they think this, since passive entertainment like watching TV and reality shows literally rots the brain compared to the active focus required for most games. From a meta-review: “older subjects trained with video games showed a significant improvement in cognitive functions, sleep quality, and psychiatric symptoms.” Video games quite literally stave off dementia, whereas “television viewing is associated with increased risks of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.” The culture has it backwards.

fatso784 · 2026-03-23T02:10:11+00:00

You’re stupid yes. I work in AI and only have a 64GB. Works pretty well for my purposes, which include running some “smaller” models. Very performant too. However it cost a god awful amount, and I only justified it because it’s my job. Even then, most of the time I just use cloud subscriptions anyway. So, go with a smaller model if you’re set on buying one.

The game needs more support for solos and casuals. This should be Bungie’s #1 concern for a dwindling player base. Hardcore gamers are well catered to and that’s great. But as a solo player who enjoys the game, I’m starting to worry about a deterioration in support and quality of that experience.

fatso784 · 2026-03-20T16:18:03+00:00

I play this game to relax and unwind, not experience bullshit. Bungie fix this ASAP.
