I've been working this job for a year now implementing virtualized networking and now someone on the internet tells me that virtual machines aren't production ready?

Wow, I am impressed. The producers manage to recall a minor character from Ep 2, the fact about a creature's heart, expanded a bit on the front and other little bits. And using the flashback style that I like - short and sweet. The show really is tying together. Good thing they give this a 2 cour breathing room.

I could explain in quite detail how an operating system can implement taking snapshot of a process, however it isn't simply about copying. Especially if you don't want to halt the process. No major operating system today really support that though, and we're moving towards using virtual machines anyway.

Hmm, you understand me wrong, I know what virtual machines can but I also know that they still have their problems, for example they can be slower than actual machines for the programm. I do NOT say that virtual machines are not good now, hell everyone who has ever mounted some image with deamon tools or alcohol 120 % has used virtual disc drives, I am just thinking that right now it wouldn't be enough for handling AIs + a huge mass of NPCs, well for that I'm not up-to-date so if it is already good enough then I beg your pardon

Basically as a rule to live by don't argue with someone working in a field about what is and isn't possible / suitable for a particular task.

ITT people who probably aren't IT pros try to tell IT pros how computers work ^_^ It's very easy 'today' to copy programs that are still running, often times without even letting the program know it's been copied. Who knows how far advanced we'll be in a decade (although it's an industry I've recently left, so I don't have much to add). But I digress, Quote:
Standard GM controls would be accessed via NervGEAR, so this is something outside the norm, and therefore needs more access / controls, without over-complicating the process. Working in IT in the past I've seen low-paid employees given the virtual equivalent to the 'keys to the kingdom' in terms of access, typically in sealed envelopes, in case stuff hits the fan when they're working late night shifts. IE - you have a low paid IT guy who could do virtually anything, and you trust him with these rights, because he's the only guy who's going to be around in that time frame, and you do this because you don't always want to have to wait for someone to get into the physical building (and said IT guy knows he'll be fired if that envelope is ever opened outside an emergency). But, back on topic, my assumption was simply that Kirito found the folder / running process and simply made a copy of it. He lightly touched on the matter later in the episode when he said he wasn't positive he would be able to 'recreate' her later. Copying a running process to local memory doesn't really suggest much 'system level access' to me, but it's hard to be sure in the framework we're given. Quote:
The GM in question (or in many cases a dedicated bug hunter) in a bug report is going to try to replicate the issue, or, more commonly simply look at the bug and say it's 'working as intended' or 'the logs show nothing'. But you really don't want GM's testing things in production, because then you have a physical GM avatar mucking around in the game universe, and that always goes poorly. Dunno, honestly I'm not that vested in the argument either way, but again, my assumption is simply that Kirito made a copy of a running process to his PC and that such a task wouldn't be too far out of scope of a GM operating from an emergency terminal. |

Note that copying code is the basis for doing stuff in a massive game like this. Most new stuff is basically some old thing with a few minor changes to the numbers or some extra code added. |

Probably redundant, but I also have huge suspension of disbelief trouble regarding Kirito's stunt with the GM account. Regardless how Kirito is proficient in programming and computer languages whatsoever, the timeframe he had for that was ridiculously small, and the way how it was described require more than just GM Right. Other issue is of course the need for a GM terminal in-game instead of the console being accessible from their own menu via their nervegear.
The other problem is how Cardinal conveniently takes so long to terminate Yui's program, whilst the check occured the moment she accessed the GM terminal for the instantgib hack. My other gripe with this episode was how bland and passive the boss was. It was so underwhelming that I was wondering why Kirito couldn't just keep a guard stance while walking backwards. Really, the boss was hardly active, and since Yui, Yuriel and Thinker were safe, what they only need to do was dashing there. Of course, there is no evidence the boss wouldn't give the chase, but at least they should have made the situation clearly dangerous so that a straight dash wouldn't be possible (like the boss having some flash steps and/or positioned between kirito/asuna and the safe zone). But the nature of the safe zone make the "escape" urgency even less tangible, because the boss just cannot reach those who are inside of it. Therefore, the real problem was whether or not Asuna and Kirito can get in there, instead of having Yuriel, Thinker and Yui teleporting asap. But really, that arc was awkward at best: the theme isn't really that bad, and having more lore and background for SAO (the game) is always welcome, but the writing and directing were below average. I'm not even bothered by the yet again budget dive, since this arc has little importance in the plot in general. It surely felt as disjointed as the previous side stories, save the little interactions between Asuna and Kirito, but that's far as it goes.

help find MPHC001 copy MPHC001 <Kirito's NervGear> create <<Yui's Heart>> ...add the fact that he seems to have an insane amount of reaction speed (I don't know about you but it seems to be the case. How else can he dodge the 74th Floor Boss? ) his time was probably slowed down to a crawl as he typed. ...and there's the fact that it's an emergency terminal for GMs -- noobs who don't know a thing or two about programming.

So how exactly does the teleportation device work during "boss-fights"? This grim reaper literally flew away after the initial attack, to another portion of the corridor. And Asuna and Kirito chase after it to the left. Why not run forward and go to safe zone and teleport out?
How did the guy who was already in the safe-zone make it to the safe zone in the first place? Is it not a straight dash? WTF is going on, very lost.

Seeing moe little Yui jumping up and down in joy as Kirito delivers carnage upon unsuspecting frogs was hilarious. I guess "cheering on players as they slaughter monsters" is part of the psychological care package. "Do it papa! Kill it with fire!"
Also, I propose they transfer Yui's AI to a lolibot body once they get out, so Kirito and Asuna's first human child can experience a light novel-style "onee-chan wa robotto da!" life. |

Anyhow, Kawahara is only strong in details and setting with respect to games. When it comes to technological stuff which is outside of his area of expertise, anyone with intermediate level of knowledge of the technology can see that his writing and premises are *cough*, not something I will call good.
