'Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just
been solved by Claude Opus 4.6. It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days' ~ Don Knuth cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper... #claude #opus #ai #compsci
I’d like to see an explicitly social-forward RSS reader. Like it’s encouraged to highlight passages and leave short comments. Your buds see yours, you see your buds.
Adobe just released an Apache-2.0 licensed reference implementation of the OpenPBR Surface standard, extracted from their in-house Eclair renderer.
Neat trick: the reference implementation cross-compiles for C++, GLSL, Cuda, Metal, and Slang!

I recommend giving Toni's blog a read to learn more about him
Abstract illustration of a CSS animation in the shape of a series of square that get incresingly rotated. The text reads: CSS animations as state machines.
I feel like this is either very dumb or very clever. Either way, I blogged about it:
Using CSS animations as state machines to remember focus or hover states in CSS only.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
The FTSE 100 dropped 1.4% in the first 2 minutes of trade - investors reacting to the surge in oil prices.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down by more than 5%. In South Korea, the Kospi index triggered the circuit breaker, a 20-minute halt to trading to curb panic selling.
Rising energy prices are pushing up inflation, especially in economies dependent on imported fossil fuels.
The durable solution is structural: improve efficiency, accelerate electrification and scale up renewables.
Energy policy is economic policy.
Kind of weird when you can watch the global market collectively go "oh shit he is that crazy".

Table of peak player numbers of Godot Engine games. At the top is "Slay the Spire 2" with 574638 players, in second place "Brotato" with 38905, in third "Backpack Battles" with 36557.
Seems like Slay the Spire 2 had the biggest launch of any Godot Game ever, with 15x the players of the previous record holder, Brotato 👀
I hope that creates some momentum for the engine in general but at least it will catch some eyes.
Yet again it will be shown that humans change behavior not because of the greater good but out of necessity in crisis.

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".
