Latency basically killed this kind of game play 20ms or more input lag, another 20ms display lag, it's a very serious disadvantage Modern games design action and combat around these constraints

‘How are you so focused under pressure?’ Me in 1995:

Sugar should shoulder a large part of the blame for our health problems but something else is promoting obesity. Do you know what it is?

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

Calling it now: all these agent coding TUIs are a phase and it will be short lived. Most devs will be back in GUIs and IDEs in a few months.

US technology employment is contracting: The tech sector lost -43,000 jobs over the last year, the biggest YoY drop since early 2024. This exceeds the declines seen during the 2020 pandemic and the 2008 Financial Crisis. Technology employment has fallen for over 2 years straight now. Since the November 2022 peak, information technology jobs have declined -330,000, to 2.79 million, the lowest since mid-2021. This is now below pre-pandemic levels, returning to levels last seen in 2016. Tech sector employment is dropping sharply.

unless there is not enough demand for McKinsey consulting (unlikely) they should want to hire many more new grads who can do more projects quickly and efficiently thanks to new research tools. today’s ai cannot replace an entry level programmer, consultant, banker, etc

I'm tempted to finally churn off Slack. We're paying ~$6k/year for 40 people and they just quoted me $21k/year for the business version that includes a BAA (and all the shitty AI features). Incredibly overrated software

Since previewing ARC-AGI-3, nearly one million scorecards have been submitted on public environments. That real-world data helps us stress-test and harden our scoring approach Based on what we’ve observed, we’re announcing two updates to ARC-AGI-3 scoring: 1. The per-level baseline is now less sensitive to outlier performances, reducing the impact of luck on individual levels A single unusually efficient human run no longer defines the baseline for ARC-AGI-3 scoring. Rather the baseline now reflects more typical human play. Technical change: the human baseline which normalizes scores moves from 2nd-best player to median player per level 2. A single subpar level no longer disproportionately drags down an overall score A test taker who generalizes well across an entire environment is no longer penalized by a single, sub-par, level. Technical change: per-level score cap increases from 100% to 115% For a view of how action efficiency translates into scores, see how the 11 human players who played re86 during testing

Robinhood refused a buy order, didn't notify me, withdrew my money anyways, and cost me over $10k in lost gains in the last 24 hours. What the hell should I be using instead?

coding models love 'isinstance' so much. i tend to think if you're using 'isinstance' though your system is janky.
