> thought I read somewhere paramount is in survival mode
Paramount's multi-year sale process deserves an HBO miniseries. But at this point, it's a de facto LBO platform for the Ellisons.
But who's gonna produce that once Paramount owns HBO?

I worked in this building. It was terrible. Low light, completely open office, people walking around you all the time, extremely noisy, pretty ugly (the roof-top garden was the exception). My team expensed noise cancelling headphones because it was so loud.
MPK 22 was also designed by Gehry Partners, which was a massive improvement on the inside, but outside is still kinda terrible in my opinion: https://www.truebeck.com/project/facebook-mpk-22/
Wow you weren't kidding. The insides of that looks like an absolute hellscape. Like a whole floor is missing and they just set up shop in a warehouse!

Try these three words: Victorians eating mummies
Love this bit of lore. It goes super well with The Thought Emporiums video about recreating an Egyptian mummy just to eat it: https://youtu.be/fbhV0TP3jco

The biggest latency improvement I saw was switching off OpenAI's API that would have a latency anywhere between 0.3 - 6 seconds(!) for the same two word search embedding...
> Neither engenders user trust in the work that the agent undertook. Antigravity provides context on agentic work at a more natural task-level abstraction, with the necessary and sufficient set of artifacts and verification results, for the user to gain that trust.
I'm going to need an AI summary of this page to even start comprehending this... It doesn't help that the scrolling makes me nauseous, just like real anti-gravity probably would.

The article is titled "How Elon Musk is boosting the British Right". For "some" reason Sky is self-censoring their title, but not for Twitter, weirdly enough.

The answer should be that it's a privacy leak! Do you allow random actors to brute force your login?
Same. It's shifted from an escapist fantasy about getting away from it all to a more literal definition of "escapist fantasy". if it weren't for family & friend ties binding us to our geographical area it'd already be a lot more serious. We're not *that* far from a low end FIRE situation, so a move to a more LCOL country could make a ton of sense and escape ... all of this.
From an EU perspective I would have been out of there in February. But what is it they say, again? "Grass is always browner on the other side"? It also helps being part of a minority that the sitting regime wants to exterminate to the very definition of the word.

Really interesting to get some perspective on how Avalanche worked before I joined the Stockholm tools team, right around as JC4 was being wrapped up. The few peeks I got at the Python editor code gave me nightmares and I was very happy to work in the C++ and Qt version instead.
I think "crunch culture" in gamedev will always be its downfall. Especially in double-A studios that seem to end up with over ambitious projects where with scope creep and lack of direction, the sunk cost ends up too great to steer away from. Either you release what you've got, or throw it all away.
Given the many smartwatches on the market which can do so much more, are lightweight and some of them with acceptable battery life (Garmin, Suunto, Amazfit), a smartring is of very little interest to me. But I often struggle to understand why certain products fascinate people, so I may be totally wrong and I wish the makers best of luck.
