Kelsey Grammer, dad of 8, on the US education system: “I think the educational community has really dropped the ball, probably deliberately in a lot of ways. They don’t like the idea that we are a great country. Somewhere along the way, our education system decided we aren’t, and that’s what they teach our children. “If you’re learning that from your teachers—and we believe our teachers—you start to think, well, maybe they’re right. “You begin searching your soul for why you come from a ‘crap’ place, why you’re not a good person, why our country isn’t good anymore. “That means mom and dad aren’t very good either, are they? There’s a whole series of questions that follow. “What we’re doing to our children is basically child abuse. “Someone deliberately set out to introduce the idea that we aren’t a good country through our educational system.”

3D Gaussian Splattingの新しい見せ方を作りました。その名も Inversphere. 2Dのリトルプラネットと違い、空間ごと球面反転しています。ガラス玉に入れる従来の見せ方は球で「切り取る」のに対して、これは球の中へ「折り込む」ので360度の景色が無限遠まで立体で入っています。 #3DGS

The past is becoming a foreign language

Hey everyone. Thank you for your feedback on League Classic. We have a small update we wanted to share on: 👗Classic skins 💰Gameplay 🔧Champion kits

@TravisGafford @MarcMerrill Mine was Viktor! Sadly, this art and letter are among some of the items believed to have been stolen from me recently when a storage unit I was renting was broken into and I lost over $10k worth of items that were meaningful to me like this that I'll likely never see again.

Leaning into the rampant nostalgia... ~A decade ago, Riot sent Teemo statues to people who had impacted the community. They looked up player's mains and gave a signed print from @MarcMerrill of that champ's splash. Mine was Leona. Today, I reveal Leona, Determined in Vendetta!

Everyone at Riot appreciates this type of note and sentiment. We’ve all been working really hard to get back to the fundamentals and hope you all continue to see, feel and experience this across all of our games and touch points.

[OFFICIAL] Riot games announce NALCS 🇺🇸 CLASSIC SHOWMATCH ON JULY 24 The Iconic showmatch will feature players from TSM 🇺🇸 and CLG 🇺🇸

Any OG builds you’re looking forward to playing when League Classic is live in Patch 26.15?

I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs. My “Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand” statement isn’t aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month. I’m saddened, but I can’t muster anger or outrage over it. I don’t have access to the books, but I suspect that Id Software was a marginal business from Microsoft’s perspective. I believe the reports that Minecraft revenues have been carrying several other studios. To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved. Games are competing with every other option for spending your leisure time and money, and the competition is brutal. You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games. Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost effectively marketed in a way that reached more players that would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know. The game isn’t over yet, and I hope the studio rallies through.

Philippine schools have officially added Valorant to the Grade 10 curriculum under the Department of Education’s MATATAG program. Students study objectives, mechanics, agent roles, and strategies, while learning teamwork, communication, respect, and digital wellness.

I’m excited for players to get their hands on #RBVendetta. One of my favorite additions is the Rival Overnumber cards in the set. IMO The team did a great job making matchups like Jinx & Vi feel authentic to their relationship. Looking forward to the Pre-Rifts, beginning July 24!

This is what happens when you become a CEO, the "cognitive load time density" goes way up: when every lower-level task is done by some[thing] else, all that remain are the high-level tasks. The stakes are higher, data is incomplete, and the options are ambiguous. Most people are not equipped for this. There's a reason CEOs all have these crazy exercise and meditation lifestyles: they are optimized to provide a physical and therapeutic base to allow for sustained cognitive output and decision-making willpower. Someone who wants to move to the next stage of productivity through vibecoding without burning out within a few months will need to re-engineer their life. (Remember: it's only been a few months since the models became good enough to code! It happened in ~December!)

The marginal cost of energy is going to zero. This is bad for utilities and great for homeowners who have solar + storage. It’s also great for businesses who feed this entire supply chain. The amount of bottoms-up energy production from homeowners will shock people in its scale. America will have 100M utilities over the next 25 years.

A strong predictor of who does extraordinary work is being hopeless with everyday life - they mix up peoples names, or miss meetings, constantly misplace things and forget to eat because all their headspace is directed elsewhere. Last year I met a researcher in SF who realised their car had been ticketed and towed 3 days earlier (they had walked home from the office one night and simply forgot), and also an engineer who ate the same lunch from a sandwich shop every day for 6 yrs because choosing a new option took way too much mental effort. Maintaining a well-run life is a part-time job hours-wise; for someone holding a hard problem in their head all day there is no spare capacity for these kinds of background processes. Society treats this as a flaw to coach out (the command is "get out of your head"), but this level of absorption is needed to solve truly hard problems.

bets still on the table America, yet.
