Marcia Lucas, who won an Oscar for editing “Star Wars,” directed by her former husband George Lucas, has died from cancer. She was 80.

“Marcia will be remembered as a brilliant storyteller, a trailblazer for women in film, a loving mother and grandmother, a generous host, and a loyal friend whose humor and sparkle filled every room she entered. Her influence on film is indelible, but those who knew her best will remember the way she made life feel more vivid, more beautiful, more fun, and more full of love,” the family statement said.

Valve has been updating the Steam Link app for visionOS quite regularly

Thought I would show it off again. Especially since I have the official Steam Controller to play alongside it

I'd pretty much recommend it to any other AVP users for reliable PC game streaming at this point

Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup:

AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate

"senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it"

The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways

Jon Favreau introduces #TheMandalorianAndGrogu at the LA premiere:

“I sat by my dad 49 years ago watching ‘Star Wars’ for the first time, and tonight I get to sit next to my dad and watch this movie.”

[thatgamecompany @thatgamecompany]

20 years ago we had 1 belief: a game can be wordless, and still move you.

To those who floated in flOw, bloomed in Flower, climbed the peak in Journey, or found their flock in Sky: you are the heart of all we do. We couldn't have made it without you.

Thank you. To the next 20!
