MIT DEDICATED A FULL LECTURE TO GIT'S INTERNALS -- BECAUSE THEY FOUND MOST DEVS MEMORIZE THE COMMANDS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TOOL ACTUALLY DOES
A whole 85 minutes MIT session that refuses to teach git as a list of commands to copy, and instead shows you the data model underneath -- the thing that makes every command finally make sense.
-> The moment it clicks, git stops being scary magic. You stop memorizing "The incantation that fixed it last time" and start actually knowing what's happening.
Most people learn just enough git to not get fired. Four commands, blind faith, and a prayer before every merge.
In 2026 that's not enough anymore -> git is the literacy test for being in the room, and "I'll just reclone it" is the fastest way to look junior.
An AI agent will branch, commit and rebase faster than you can read. When it tangles the history, untangling it runs on understanding the model MIT teaches in this one hour.
Anyone can run git push. The person who understands the graph underneath is the one who saves the repo when it breaks.

What is missing to bring real-time motion research into AAA games and real-world robotics?
We present MotionBricks, a step toward bridging this gap with two key components:
- a single generative latent motion backbone covering 350,000+ motion skills, running at 15,000 FPS with 2 ms latency and substantially improved quality and reliability.
- a unified smart primitive interface for locomotion, object / scene interaction, with fine-grained control over generated behaviors.

Satoshi Kon's unfinished last movie is very interesting. It's like Astro Boy gone wrong — the future promised in the '60s is now a post-apocalyptic ruin.
Enough material is public (including a storyboard page) to get an idea of Kon's plan. We explore:

"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984), visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren. Miniature models (terrain and plane) by Industrial Light & Magic. Terrain and wall built by Bill George and Lorne Petersen. Model photography and compositing by Dream Quest Images.
Can we build a standalone, modular, and reusable naturalness reward for training motor controllers?
#SMP is a step toward that vision. Once SMP has been trained on a motion dataset, the priors can be reused to train new controllers to perform diverse tasks while adhering to the behaviors in the dataset, without original dataset or retraining.
🔥 Excited to share our latest work, SMP: Score-Matching Motion Priors, accepted to @siggraph

I really loved seeing the Street Fighter II stage concept art at the Capcom Creations exhibit. The inventor of graph paper is secretly one of the most important people in gaming history.
