Spine is a cross-platform cyberpunk fighting game from the makers of Shadow Fight – Pocket Gamer

Posted: May 23, 2020 at 6:52 pm

Nekki and Banzai Games have today announced their latest title, a cyberpunk fighting game called Spine. It aims to deliver stylish 3-on-3 character-based team battles, and it's currently in development for PC, consoles, and mobile.

Set in the near future, the game revolves around an advanced piece of tech by the name of Spine. It's a combat AI that connects to the spinal cord of the human body and can control every muscle, kinda like the concept behind Leigh Whannell's Upgrade.

This allows fighters to perform beyond the levels of human capability, bolstering their reaction times, precision, and dexterity. It's said to be the main weapon in a world now split between two opposing factions, each with its own roster of characters.

These guys come with unique special abilities, fighting styles, and firearms, hopefully meaning the roster is varied and interesting. Once you've selected your fighter, you'll head into battle and duke it out against three worthy opponents.

Don't expect to see this one anytime soon, however, as it's still in the pre-production phase, with full development set to begin this summer. Still, the teaser offers a tantalising look at the game's cyberpunk world and character designs, which will likely be enough to draw the attention of fighting game enthusiasts or fans of Nekki's Shadow Fight series.

Speaking of Shadow Fight, the latest game in the series Shadow Fight Arena is still on track for a 2020 release. It'll come to PC and mobile first, with PlayStation and Xbox versions to follow at a later date.

Pocket Gamer alum Harry Slater reviewed Shadow Fight 3 back in 2017, calling it "a slick and violent brawler that pulls a few punches but is still well worth a look", before awarding it an impressive Silver Rating.

You'll find it available for download now over on the App Store and Google Play. And we'll be sure to let you know as soon as more info on Spine surfaces.

Blogging the Nebulas: Arkady Martine’s A Memory Called Empire Marries Cyberpunk, Space Opera, and Political Thriller – tor.com

Posted: at 6:52 pm

The Nebula Awards could be described as the Academy Awards of SFF literature; they are voted on by the professional peers of the award nomineesmembers of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. There are six nominees in the best novel category this year. Every day this week, I will be reviewing each of them and figuring their odds of taking home the prize. Welcome to Blogging the Nebulas 2020.

Id like to begin with a bit of a mea culpa; I started writing this review series back in early March, at a point when it seemed unimaginable Id have trouble finding time to write a few thousand words about six fantastic sci-fi and fantasy novels before the deadline of the Nebula Awards ceremony on May 30. But then I got a new full-time writing and editing job, which became a work-from-home job when the pandemic shut down New York City, includingperhaps most significantly w/r/t my productivityits elementary schools. Regardless, Im back, and I still havea couple of weeks to go until we have a new Nebula winner to celebrate, and Id certainly be remiss not to discuss the rest of this shockingly good ballot. Beginning with

A Memory Called Empire, by occasional Tor.com contributor Arkady Martine (ne historian AnnaLinden Weller) is one of my favorite kinds of science fiction novels: the political thriller. That is to say, it a political thriller pasted into science fiction, or perhaps the other way around; its story functions as an exploration of the politics of a future human society that feels sensibly extracted from that of our present day, plus cool spaceships and a dash of cyberpunk. I like books like this because they usually have a lot to say about the world around us, but can do so with enough cool technological ornamentation that you might not notice if you arent paying attention. Iain M. Banks is the master of this sort of thing; The Player of Games is the best political SF novel Ive ever read. Ann Leckie is no slouch either; in fact, the sequels to Ancillary Justice disappointed a contingent of readers when they revealed the Imperial Radch trilogy to be less about the flash of space battles and more about the small moves of political gambits.

A Memory Called Empire is also a very, very good political sci-fi novel (see: the Nebula nomination, I suppose, but even still). It takes place within a dominant future human empire known as Teixcalaan, which has control of a network of wormhole gates that have given it the means and the methods to absorb the cultures and resources of one human civilization after another (there are no on-the-page aliens to speak of in this space opera, though signs of a mysterious, unconfirmed alien presence encroaching on Teixcalaan space do kick the plot into gear). Our protagonist is Mahit Dzmare, ambassador to the Teixcalaan from the strategically located but otherwise unimportant Lsel Station, a self-sufficient outpost that is doing everything it can to avoid annexation by the empire.

The question of independence is a bit clouded as the novel opens, as Mahit is making her way to the Teixcalaan capital to replace her predecessor, Yskandr Aghavn, who has been incommunicado for 15 years and is also recently dead. With no knowledge of the alliances Yskandr had forged on the stationnor the enemies hed madeMahits position is a tenuous one from the outset, especially considering the fact that the Teixcalaan elite tend to view Lsel as a backwater and Mahit as an uncultured barbarian of sorts.

What the Teixcalaan dont know is the Lsel Station has maintained its independence for so long thanks to a remarkable bit of proprietary technology: the Imago, a small biomechanical device implanted near the brainstem that records the experiences, skills, and personality of its host, preserving them for implantation into another body and mind down the line. (It might help to think of it as a mix between Altered Carbons cortical stacks and the Trill of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.) Unfortunately, Mahits Imago of Yskander dates back to his last visit to Lsel Station, meaning the voice in her head can only offer so much helpand less than that, once the device stops working altogether for mysterious reasons.

The question of the faulty Imago is but one of the mysteries that drives the plot. Another concerns the fate if Yskander himself: Did he die of natural causes, or due to lethal misadventure, or outright murder? Certain there are plenty of suspects, for the Empire is in the midst of a succession crisis, and various key players seem to have viewed Yskader as either a threat or a potential allyor both. Minus the aid of her implanted predecessor, Mahit must rely on the aid of her cultural attach, an ambitious young diplomat named Three Seagrass (Teixcalaan naming conventions are a delight Ill let you discover for yourself). Plots and counterplots pile atop one another as Mahit begins to unravel a conspiracy involving a potential civil war, with Lsel station serving as an unlikely lynchpin keeping things in balance.

I knew within a few chapters that A Memory Called Empire was going to be an impressive first novel, and my opinion of it only improved in the reading: Its a nearly flawless one. Its been a long time since Ive read such a cohesive debut, so assured in terms of narrative voice (slyly amused and expertly controlled), plotting (dense but never confusing), and character (Mahits maturation from naive tourist to savvy operative is entirely believable; the supporting characters are succinctly drawn and memorable, if not downright endearing). Its incredibly rich thematically as well, musing on the push and pull of colonialism, cultural appropriation and gentrification.

I am not quite sure it is my favorite novel of 2019 (if anything, it shares the top spot with another book Ill be discussing in this series), but it is unquestionably the best thing I read all year.

It may seem silly to say this, but I think A Memory Called Empire is one of the top contenders for the Nebula this year for no other reason that it is an appallingly impressive novel; frankly, I find it slightly infuriating that its author managed to write something so accomplished right out of the gate.

While theres certainly no accounting for the individual tastes of Nebula voters, its hard to imagine a whole host of them wont be supremely impressed by the skill with which this thing has come together. As a work of political science fiction, it excels; Martine has crafted a careful consideration of the politics of colonialism and empire, power and exploitation, subjugation and interdependency.

As a feat of worldbuilding, it is playful and imaginative; the peculiar language and politics of the Teixcalaan Empire are massively interesting and enormously fun (try to finish the book without choosing your own Teixcalaan name), and are woven into the narrative so effortlessly that you wont be bored by infodumpsnor will you strictly need to consult the appendix at the back (though I recommend doing so; its quite delightful).

In particular, the clever epigraphs that open each chapter offer truly economical yet intriguing background on the history of this civilization. In the form of customs paperwork, a guidebook, a news transcript, a screenplay and more, they are amusing to read and doubly so to puzzle outparticularly because half of them pull from Teixcalaan sources and half from those of Lsel Station, and their accountings of the way of things dont always agree.

As a political thriller, it is first-rate. The plot starts off as a murder mystery and builds from there, the death of Mahit Dzmares ambassadorial predecessor turning out to be most consequential indeed, and for reasons I definitely did not see coming. There are many factions vying for power on Teixcalaan, and none of their motives are quite the same. But as complex as they are, the politics are never confusing, which is no mean feat in a book with so many characters and, yeah, Ill say it, such challenging naming conventions (so maybe I did use the appendix a few times).

All this, and the characters are memorable too: Mahits is a comfortable mind to spend a few hundred pages inhabiting; shes both incredibly competent and occasionally naive to a fault. The supporting cast is peppered with fascinating foils and allies who youll come to know and hate or love in appropriate measure (and weep for, on occasion; not everyone makes it out alive). I didnt know there were plans for a sequel until Id finished reading it, and I was delighted at the prospect, if only for the chance to see a few of these folks again.

In short, I cant think of much negative to say about this novel. I fairly loved it, and remain deeply impressed at the feats it accomplishes more than a year after reading it for the first time. Amazon twice named it one of the best science fiction book of last year, and Im finding it hard to disagree.

As I mentioned in the first post in this series, debut authors dont have the greatest track record at the Nebulas; typically an author will have a better shot at taking the top prize if theyve got a few more books (or even Best Novel nominations) to tout on their Wikipedia pages. And while she has assembled a respectable list of short story and non-fiction publications over her eight years writing in the genre (which you can peruse on her website), this is Arkady Martines first awards season.

To grope blindly for other points of analysis, I might also suggest that the Nebula winners over the past have decade have indicated a general preference for fantasy novels over science fiction; last years victory by Mary Robinette Kowals fairly realistic SF alt-history The Calculating Stars notwithstanding, the last winner that really slots alongside Martines debut in terms of tone and subject matter is Ann Leckies 2013 novel Ancillary Justice; in the years in-between, voters favored works of fantasy of one sort or another over space opera the likes of The Three-Body Problem, Ancillary Mercy, and Ninefox Gambit. Space opera in general doesnt tend to take home the top prize often (you can count the number of winners in the past quarter-century that prominently feature spaceships on one hand.) And speaking of which, theres another splashy big-ideas sci-fi novel crowding the ballot this year too, threatening to steal some of Martines high concept thunder.

Of course, hemming and hawing about track records and past precedent is only somewhat efficacious. A books only real competition in a given year are the other nominees. Martine happens to be one of four debut novelists vying for the award, meaning there are pretty good odds one of them will take itand if youve read A Memory Called Empire, you know it pretty goddam well deserves to.

Joel Cunningham was the founding editor of theB&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog(RIP), where he explored the galaxy for 5 years, pickingup a Hugo Award (well, tangentially) along the way. Hes now managing editor ofLifehacker, which means hes managing at least one thing nowadays. He lives in an apartment in Brooklyn with his wife and two children and hopes to go outside again someday.

O’Reilly Survey Reveals More than 88% of Organizations Use Cloud Computing – Business Wire

Posted: at 6:51 pm

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OReilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, today released the survey findings of its latest report, Cloud Adoption in 2020, that captures the latest trends in cloud, microservices, distributed application development, and other critical infrastructure and operations technologies. The report found that more than 88% percent of respondents use cloud infrastructure in one form or another, and 45% of organizations expect to move three quarters or more of their applications to the cloud over the next twelve months.

The report surveyed 1,283 software engineers, technical leads, and decision-makers from around the globe. Of note, the report uncovered that 21% of organizations are hosting all applications in a cloud context. The report also found that while 49% of organizations are running applications in traditional, on-premises contexts, 39% use a combination of public and private cloud deployments in a hybrid-cloud alternative, and 54% use multiple cloud services.

Public cloud dominates as the most popular deployment option with a usage share greater than 61%, with AWS (67%), Azure (48%), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (32%) as the most used platforms. However, while Azure and GCP customers also report using AWS, the reverse is not necessarily true.

We see a widespread embrace of cloud infrastructure across the enterprise which suggests that most organizations now equate cloud with whats next for their infrastructure decisions and AWS as the front-runner when it comes to public cloud adoption, said Mary Treseler, vice president of content strategy at OReilly. For those still on the journey to cloud-based infrastructure migration, ensuring that staff is well-versed in critical skills, such as cloud security and monitoring, will be incredibly important for successful implementations. Enterprises with solid footing have the potential to leverage this infrastructure for better software development and AI-based services, which will put them at an advantage over competitors.

Other notable findings include:

Gartner: How and why cloud providers need to support their customers through Covid-19 – Cloud Tech

Posted: at 6:51 pm

Cloud providers need to proactively support their customers through the tail end of the Covid-19 pandemic. They can do this by demonstrating the strength and adaptability of their service offerings.

Covid-19 has left many organisations unsure if their business continuity strategy is sufficiently robust, particularly when it comes to cloud services. The reliance on videoconferencing and collaboration tools has stressed the limits of back-end supporting services, while also increasing network traffic volume. However, cloud providers with robust and excess infrastructure, combined with disaster recovery plans to respond to such a crisis, are successfully managing in this new normal.

As IT leaders begin to consider longer-term cloud solutions to support the new portion of their workforce remaining remote, they are facing challenging questions about the resiliency and dependability of cloud services. At the same time as Covid-19 has pushed cloud to the spotlight, it has put providers in a unique position to reassure customers of their strength and adaptability.

The providers who will fail at this time are the ones still tackling the debate of on-premises data centres vs cloud. Customers are now asking about the adaptability of their current cloud service that they have been forced to adopt if they decided to continue using it post pandemic.

Providers need to prove that their services are resilient enough to handle random spikes in demand by showcasing their excess capacity to rapidly deploy new services when needed. To allow customers to rest assured, can providers prove they are themselves supported by underlying infrastructure that is sufficiently robust?

Here are the actions cloud providers must ensure in support of their clients and deliver uninterrupted service during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.

Cloud computing is a model that is inherently designed to satisfy fluctuating demand and well-architected, well-run cloud services are designed to handle unexpected spikes in demand. If implemented correctly, cloud services are well positioned to support rising requests, such as those exhibited during this Covid-19 crisis.

However, more reports of slowdowns or outright inability to handle increased loads are surfacing every day. The reasons for this are varied. Increased remote workers means increased load on VPNs and the servers that handle their connections. While companies have spent money to build out their existing capacity to handle remote work, few have come close to provisioning capacity many times their established norms. This means any reduction in service quality will appear to end users as limited bandwidth availability and slower loads.

For cloud providers that host VPN servers and private network connections for companies with workforces both large and small, it is of critical importance that you help customers understand their limitations and to expand them at a measured cost.

Cloud providers must engineer their networks to handle spikes without having to throw bandwidth at the problem, which can often be an expensive proposition. Deploying advanced traffic engineering technologies will be crucial.

In addition to managing increased traffic, operations teams must be able to maintain service availability and performance while they themselves are working remotely or with reduced staff. Furthermore, components powering the cloud data centre resources, such as chips or servers, may be in short supply due to supply chain disruptions facing manufacturing facilities. Customers who understand these realities want to be reassured that their provider is dealing with the potential bottlenecks in service smoothly and effectively.

By publicly stress testing cloud infrastructure and explaining the results in the context of periods of extreme variation, cloud providers will be well positioned to address customer resiliency concerns that naturally arise when comparing longer term solutions post pandemic.

Using the stress test data, cloud providers can develop and publish comprehensive service continuity plans for increased usage, remotely managing services and leveraging a geographically diverse engineering workforce for support.

Allowing customers in to this discussion will build their confidence in your resiliency plans.

Many cloud customers are facing revenue challenges during these unprecedented times and will remember the service providers who lent a helping hand. If you can act as stopgaps by offering financial relief to customers, especially small and midsize businesses then do so if you havent already. There are many possibilities to explore this initiative, the easiest is to consider providing cloud-based collaboration and conferencing capabilities at a discount or for free, at least for a limited period of time.

Alibaba registers solid revenues in FY20 thanks to cloud computing and core retail businesses – FinanceFeeds

Posted: at 6:51 pm

Cloud computing revenue grew 62% year-over-year in fiscal year 2020 to RMB 40,016 million (US$5,651 million).

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) today posted its financial resultsfor the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, with revenues marking an increase on the back of the domestic retail and cloud computing business segments.

During the quarter to end-March 2020, revenue was RMB114,314 million (US$16,144 million), an increase of 22% year-over-year.

On the downside, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB3,162 million (US$447 million), a decrease of 88% year-over-year, and net income was RMB348 million (US$49 million), a decrease of 99% year-over year. The year-over-year decrease reflected a net loss in investment income, mainly reflecting decreases in the market prices of Alibabas equity investments in publicly-traded companies, compared to a net gain recorded in the same quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the above-mentioned loss and gain, amounted to RMB22,287 million (US$3,148 million) in the quarter to March 31, 2020, an increase of 11% year-over-year.

During the fiscal year to end-March 2020, revenue was RMB509,711 million (US$71,985 million), an increase of 35% year-over-year.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB149,263 million (US$21,080 million), and net income was RMB140,350 million (US$19,821 million). Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year to end-March 2020 was RMB132,479 million (US$18,710 million), an increase of 42% year-over-year.

Alibaba Cloud has maintained its leadership position in Asia Pacifics cloud computing market by developing technology and business solutions that enable the digital transformation of businesses across industries in the public and private sectors. Cloud computing revenue grew 58% year-over-year to RMB12,217 million (US$1,725 million) in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 62% year-over-year in fiscal year 2020 to RMB 40,016 million (US$5,651 million), primarily driven by increased revenue contribution from both Alibabas public cloud and hybrid cloud businesses.

Daniel Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba Group, commented:

Our overall business continued to experience strong growth, with a total annual active consumer base of 960 million globally, despite concluding the fiscal year with a quarter impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has fundamentally altered consumer behavior and enterprise operations, making digital adoption and transformation a necessity. We are well positioned and prepared to help large and small businesses across a wide spectrum of industries achieve the digital transformation they need to survive this difficult period and eventually prevail in the new normal.

In terms of forecasts, Maggie Wu, Chief Financial Officer of Alibaba Group, said:

Although the pandemic negatively impacted most of our domestic core commerce businesses starting in late January, we have seen a steady recovery since March. Based on our current view of Chinese domestic consumption and enterprise digitization, we expect to generate over RMB650 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2021.

How Securing the Tactical Edge Can Help Operators in the Field – FedTech Magazine

Posted: at 6:51 pm

Agencies Gain Access to Unified, Cloud-Native Services

Edge computing inverts network and security service design patterns, shifting the focus to the secure interaction of users and data wherever they are more often than not, outside of traditional enterprise perimeters.

As a result, the market must move from point products in the cloud to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE, pronounced sassy), a transformation Gartner predicts will happen by 2024. This emerging security and networking architecture model, introduced by Gartner last year, converges networking and network security into a single cloud-native service.

As edge computing breeds complexity, latency and the need to decrypt and inspect encrypted traffic, the demand for the consolidation will only increase. SASE is different from other approaches because of the security breadth it brings.

Combining web, network, app and data security into one provides visibility and control across the cloud, network and endpoints. Hybrid enforcement allows the same management and policies to be enforced from anywhere, which leads to increased speed, lower costs and uniformity.

SASE also enables behavioral automation and risk-adaptive protection, which are particularly crucial as warfare evolves. There arent just more devices connected to the internet; those devices are growing in complexity and speed thanks to AI and machine learning, which have bolstered offensive and defensive capabilities.

Its imperative for the military to protect technologies at the edge to ensure they arent manipulated and used against their forces. If, for example, military systems, communications, security cameras, IoT sensors or card readers get compromised, organizations must have the security in place to react quickly.

Organizations must leverage behavioral analytics for IoT devices communicating back to the cloud. Behavioral intelligence can be integrated into cloud-based security platforms to extend automated and risk-adaptive protection. This adaptively shapes and enforces security policies across enterprise endpoints or devices with no administrator intervention and can do so across an agencys entire on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

This allows organizations to gain insight into human and machine behavior, thus helping protect AI-fueled digital transformation efforts. On the human side especially, administrators should implement management and monitoring plans that focus on the individual, even in a widespread edge environment.

A highly targeted security approach, such as one that involves monitoring individual risk profiles and user behaviors, is preferable since security measures can be targeted at individuals without creating friction throughout the entire workforce.

As edge computing is combined with cloud computing, it requires the same rigorous security considerations as with running in the cloud. That is a challenge for many organizations today, given their current security infrastructure.

As IoT and the tactical edge continue to grow, organizations will be forced to adapt. Agencies should begin to reconsider their current architecture to support the tactical edge now, embracing a cloud-native approach that can underpin simplified network and security administration down the line.

There is no question that SASE will play a leading role in this transformation, enabling greater cloud app performance, cutting the complexity of security hardware and connectivity, and increasing visibility and control, among other benefits. Only by investing in this foundation will organizations be able to realize the benefits, latency and bandwidth included, of edge computing.
