people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

one of the best games of all time

[Chris Remo @chrisremo]

Today is Firewatch's tenth anniversary. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who played it.

long live hackathons!! co-organizing treehacks was the single most impactful thing I did for my career in college and the butterfly effects only keep exponentiating as the years go on 🌲

[Emily Han @emilyhanyf]

people have very mixed opinions on hackathons. i’ve spoken to many people who think hackathons are not worth the time, or that the most “locked-in” cs students won’t want to spend a weekend attending one, or commit to 20 hours a week for multiple quarters (often more) to organize one.

but the fact that @sama and many other startup/tech leaders are willing to spend time speaking at collegiate hackathons, and that companies are willing to put five figures into sponsoring them, goes to show that hackathons are one of the best places to be as a cs/eng student. people who like building products and solving problems get the space, resources, and platform to do so (subsidized flights, free food, compute credits, access to world-class mentors/speakers, opportunity to pitch directly to stakeholders). hackathon (organizer) communities are where talent, creativity, and fun coexist. that’s why students keep attending and organizing them.

on the brink of glory, on the brink of oblivion

[Anna Riedl @AnnaLeptikon]

Somehow it was learning how many people are fulltime employed to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge that flipped something inside of me in my understanding of the entropic force civilization has to constantly fight against. Before that moment I thought — I had not applied real conscious thought — you simply build a building or anything really and then you just … have it. After that I understood everything is constantly at the brink of being lost.

yeah I just drink coke because at least I understand how it's going to kill me

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

It’s amazing that after decades of research it’s still unclear whether switching from Coke to Diet Coke is actually better for you.

AI has taught us all the importance of finding our writing voice

[sarah guo @saranormous]

Just published an essay, just edited a friend's essay this weekend. Realized I am hypersensitive to rhetorical crutches now. It all reads to me like AI slop, even when I see it hand-written by a human

[Peter @6peterlu]

it's cool to see an AI think about chess out loud, but it's also hallucinating a ton. holy grail for chess would be an actually good chess engine that can explain its reasoning like an LLM
