<p>Hah. It probably shouldn't be <i>that</i> surprising? Most engineers learn security on the job, not school. Game devs don't deal with -- and don't need to deal with -- the kinds of security issues Google and the military do.<p>Google has probably the best security team in the world, and they need to. The military deals with state actors by definition.<p>Gamedevs need to ship. I'm not saying they don't care about security, but short of some showstopper critical problem, it's not a thing and doesn't need to be.<p>It doesn't matter if your game is secure if nobody plays it lol</p>

<p>Are you kidding? That's an <i>insane</i> amount of load increase to manage. "Scalability" isn't one thing, especially not at that level, so it's ridiculous to knock them for it. That amount of load ripples across your entire infrastructure.</p>

<p>Someone else quoted a 14x increase in load due to AI hammering github. I wouldn't be at all shocked if that was true, considering how much AI tools are DDOSing the entire internet.<p>That plus migrating clouds is insanely difficult to manage. They're almost certainly drowning in traffic and trying to keep up.</p>

<p>Nah. You can succeed in every single individual thing but fail at the overall project because the parts don't align into anything that makes sense.<p>If you need examples, look at game dev. There's plenty of games that have good execution but aren't fun to play or they're a confusing mess because there wasn't good overall direction.</p>

<p>We don't have sci-fi AI, and in any case "this thing is now possible, therefore [much more difficult thing] will be possible soon" is not a rational thought.</p>

<p>I mean, it is. Textiles are a technology. Extracting usable fiber from plants or animals was something we invented, so is making yarn. Knitting was invented, and shaping cloth to a foot was too. And then there's the modern side of automation. There's a lot of sophistication that goes into it.</p>

<p>Not a lawyer, but have friends who are, and the answer is absolutely not lol.<p>A lot of legal language <i>looks</i> like code, sure. It can be formulaic and full of terms of art ("actual malice" has nothing to do with colloquial malice, for example) but law just isn't code.<p>Laws themselves are basically human drama run through a compression algorithm. They get written by all kinds of people at all different times for all different reasons. Case law is also law, and that's hundreds of years of people fighting in court lol.<p>When you hire a lawyer, you're asking them to take all of that and apply it to your hyperspecific set of facts, in such a way that you'd probably win if someone wanted to fight you in court about it.<p>Also, the stakes in law are high. You usually get one (1) shot at litigating something and that's it. No do overs.</p>

<p>> is it so surprising that people tend to trust it more<p>Yes and no.<p>I think most people would agree that Wikipedia is, on the whole, a pretty great first resource on anything. It tries to be factual and accurate.<p>Most people would also agree that Wikipedia can be wrong or manipulated and should never be used for an authoritative source.<p>And then somehow a computer barfing up words distilled from magic internet concentrate is absolutely trustworthy?<p>I don't get it.</p>

<p>No, I don't have anything like that. I have a friend with diagnosed OCD and that is an entirely different beast. And I have tried cutting that stuff out (was never big on most of it anyway) and it did absolutely nothing for this sort of thing lol.<p>Tinnitus really is the best way I can describe it. I didn't even realize how pervasive it was until it shut off.</p>

<p>Yeah, that does nothing. I love to cook, and I can cook super healthy and like it. I'm still hungry lol.<p>There's a part of my brain that constantly thinks about food. It's like tinnitus. GLPs stopped that cold.</p>

<p>It's more like...you just don't want them? It's kind of wild. The first week I took them, I discovered there was a loop in my brain that was constantly thinking about food, and I never realized until it got switched off.<p>That's the best way I can describe it. I could basically always eat before and now I just...don't feel like it lol.<p>I will say, they are <i>rough</i> when you first start out on them. During the 1st 6-8 weeks I had several instances of maaaaaybe five seconds of warning between feeling nauseated and vomiting.<p>It settles down after a couple months and it was never bad enough to be a dealbreaker, but it's a fun time.</p>
