Game journos invented this huge scale, but this is how a general public sees review scores.

The prices of GLP-1s and amylin analogues keep falling
Some subscribers just bulk purchased five years of retatrutide (4mg/wk) and cagrilintide (1mg/wk) and the per-person price per week came out to $5.31 including purity testing (99.5/99.8% pure)
Skinny's never been cheaper!

New blog post: A Decade of Slug
This talks about the evolution of the Slug font rendering algorithm, and it includes an exciting announcement: The patent has been dedicated to the public domain.

Happy Friday! Here's the new bolt cutter & chain animation + with sound effects. I recorded the bolt cutter sounds with pliers and a flathead 😅 I had to re-do the chain falling animation, but I like it more than the previous anim. Very happy with how it turned out!

Built a real-time audio visualizer using pure WebGPU — no Three.js, no libraries, just raw WGSL shaders and the Web Audio API. 20 frequency bands from your microphone rendered as flowing 3D ribbons with bloom, procedural backgrounds, and multiple color schemes. ~30KB #threejs

@JimDMiller @ThrillaRilla369 I think these words most days, more or less. Minus the "Relax, find meaning, be happy."
English
@ThrillaRilla369 Now is the perfect time to give up. We get superintelligence in a year or three and nothing that you do now will likely improve your situation post superintelligence. Relax, find meaning, be happy.

To any who survived rock bottom… what’s one piece of advice you’d give a someone who feels like giving up right now?

@OldInternetFeel omg the nostalgia
I was running that on win3.1

@RianSweetDoris Throw this post into any LLM and get back: "Allostatic load = real science. This tweet = a legitimate scientific term being used as credibility scaffolding for a productivity coaching pitch." Which is ironic, because this has all the hallmarks of being generative LLM slop.

@robinhanson Believe these flights may not solely be down to inefficiencies but also due to e.g. repositioning or airport facilities/capacities/leasing conditions. I.e. airlines sign leasing agreements that force airlines to operate N% of time.

Just flew DC -> Zurich, and London -> DC, on SwissAir, BritishAir, both times planes <25% full. How can they be that inefficient?

@JimDMiller @AlexNowrasteh Curious how Japan fits into this framework from your perspective, where shoes-off is the norm across all age ranges.
English
@AlexNowrasteh If age or infirmity puts you at risk of falling while walking, you want to keep your shoes on. As the population ages, more of us will want to keep on our shoes.

When people ask me to identify a change in US culture in the next 50 years, I say that most households will insist that you take off your shoes before entering. Tha’s fine.
Charles Haywood@TheWorthyHouse
No-shoes is antithetical to Americanism. It's an import from slave cultures and Communism. All Americans should keep their shoes on when they enter a house.

I managed to get hold of an HP1345A, the vector display used to film the movie War Games. I've spent the last couple of days interfacing with it and coding for, it, and here's an early demo!

@Teknium @_AIAcceleration Complete opposite of my experience. Assume this is down to language and type of project?

@_AIAcceleration and no, OpenAI hasnt beat claude at coding since opus 4

Can someone explain to me what they are spedning all this r&d money on? Kimi can beat them all on models basically for a few tens of millions but they are spending ~5b$?
Epoch AI@EpochAIResearch
Even the gross profits from running models weren’t enough to recoup R&D costs. Gross profits running GPT-5 were less than OpenAI's R&D costs in the four months before launch. And the true R&D cost was likely higher than that.

Nobody should be using up arrows to get previous commands in a terminal or shell. You have to move your hand and its linear complexity in keystrokes. Use ctrl+p (for low n) or ctrl+r. Use a real shell or history manager (fish, fzf, atuin) for ctrl+r.

gemini ran for a long time and has found seemingly interesting stuff. then i added codex to fact check and it has found two major errors and basically had to redo the work. we cannot have major errors because they compound and this analysis it still weeks ahead in agent time from being done. same as claude, gemini is forbidden now from accessing this codebase.
