There’s also an experimental new header and footer nav on desktop that lists the current games name and number but most importantly had a next and previous feature so you can quickly skip to each game

It now tries to only load media for a few visible games at a time as you scroll now that a 100 a day is common. I also updated the scraper for the new streaming video urls Valve use but unfortunately only Safari can natively play the back and the mp4 fallback is gone.

Polymarket itself shouldn't be allowed to exist, it's insane to me how this shit is legal.

It's the sort of thing I expected to see in the deepweb, not openly being talked about by the media.

almost every american ive ever met who has moved here is simply floored by the difference. It's in the places you expect--like healthcare--but also countless ones you don't, like the quality of roads, transport and maybe most important of all, public spaces.

What an Xbox founder thinks of the new Xbox CEO | Seamus Blackley interview Seamus Blackley was one of the renegades who got the Xbox started. We asked him what he thinks of the big executive changes at Xbox.

"Xbox, like a lot of businesses that aren’t the core AI business, is being sunsetted. They don’t say that, but that’s what’s happening. I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

It *used* to be so simple to describe what I did as "AI" but now I have to say something like "non-player character decision-making in video games".

"AI has long been part of gaming and will continue to be" is so heckin disingenuous. I've been a game AI engineer for almost 20 years, which has absolutely nothing to do with the current bubble of generative AI that is burning the world to solve no actual problems.

the worst thing for me is. Imagine you lost a bunch of expert carpenters and you had to learn carpentry from scratch with no teachers, no youtube. That’s what the industry is currently doing. just getting rid of the folks who know the craft, and retaining the folks who know how to parasite

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
