Best movie ever. This movie is a love letter to every thing I love. Definitely worth seeing in 3D IMAX. Nearly a two and a half hour play time and didn't feel one second of it. I was glued to my seat the whole time and my heart was pounding an hour after it was done. I can not possibly give it a higher recommendation.  

 

JUST GO SEE IT.

Saw it yesterday, not a single original plot idea in the movie and teenagers saved the world once again as if there weren't enough of YAL crap turned into terrible movies already. IOI...what an unconvincing concept. Ending was awful. I-R0k rocked though.

clearly there weren't original idea. every idea has been done in some form and this movie plays a lot on references which are by definition not original. and still it looked and felt fresh and I was completely immersed and on the edge of my seat the whole time.

It wasn't just the unoriginality but the story progression, lack of story and character depth and even the references were superficial, apart from the Adventure game. Every single VR story based anime that I have seen had more depth and suspense than Ready Player One. It looked to me as the target audience were under 12 year old kids who mostly do not care about any of the things that I have mentioned. The only characters that saw some developments were I-r0k and Halliday.

Nothing about the trailer appeals to me. It's overloaded with poorly done CGI and massively overplaying the nostalgia angle. It's just another throwaway Hollywood blockbuster. What's disappointing is that Spielberg used practical and CGI so effectively in movies like Jurassic Park that have held up really well over the years, whilst the special effects in this movie already look dated.

The practical effects in this movie are very well done, and typically the CGI that you speak of is in the game world where it's generally acceptable for it to be flawed. I had a similar opinion before seeing the movie and it's certainly not the best movie ever nor the best Spielberg film. However it is absolutely a fun ride and an enjoyable experience. The characters are slightly flat, but they are apparently more dynamic than the book even accomplished.

Don't have to see the movie, but honestly I wasn't expecting much from it and I got way more than I thought it could provide.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
