BioShock 4 loses direction again as 2K fires top leadership

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-12-15 05:54:00

Facepalm: Take-Two's BioShock 4 has been stuck in development hell for over a decade. Now, executives have fired the studio head, demoted the creative director, and ordered a full rewrite, putting the project's future in doubt. Fans have long wondered when the game will launch - but maybe the real question is: will it? Take-Two is overhauling the long-delayed next installment in the BioShock series after an internal review left top executives at 2K Games dissatisfied with the game's progress. T

Content-Aware Spaced Repetition

news.ycombinator.com Giacomo Randazzo 2025-12-15 04:32:11

Content-aware Spaced Repetition Spaced repetition systems are powerful, but they have a fundamental blind spot: they don’t understand what your flashcards are about. To your SRS, a card asking “what’s the capital of Italy?” and another asking “what country is Rome the capital of?” are treated independently, each with its own isolated review history. It has no concept that reviewing related material should reinforce your memory of the whole topic. At the heart of every SRS is a memory model wh

Expert Says Collapse of Human Civilization Looks Like the Most Likely Scenario

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-15 23:13:12

New research is warning that the most likely outcome is that human civilization is poised for collapse. As The Guardian reports, a sweeping new historical survey that analyzes 5,000 years and the collapse of more than 400 societies makes the case that we're in for a rude awakening. "We can’t put a date on Doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of [civilisation], we can understand the trajectories we face today — and self-termination is most likely," Luke Kemp, research fellow at the Cente

How Python grew from a language to a community

When it first launched in 1991, Python “wasn’t lucrative,” remembers long-time Python community organizer Paul Everitt (now a Python and web developer advocate at JetBrains). “But we believed in it. The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years.
