When I started this podcast, I said to my wife, if I ever have a discussion with Jonathan Blow it might the end of it, because I don't know how to top that. Jonathan Blow, thank you for your games and your work, for attitude to pursue excellence, for swimming against the tide and pioneering a new path! Enjoy this 3h talk with Jonathan, about JAI programming language, his upcoming games, company Thekla, game industry and culture!

We are at a point where opportunistic Democratic politicians are trying to make themselves relevant by spreading lies and misinformation about Iran and President Trump. Your vote matters. They work for you; you do not work for them. They owe you; you do not owe them. With the 2026 midterms coming up, call your representatives, tell them you are watching their votes, and thank President Trump for having the courage to step up in this historic moment and do what no other president has done #Iran #RezaPahlavi President Donald J. Trump

Can you get your Fortnite account banned for this? INSANE stream sniping last night from someone in my chat. They literally didn't even make their name anonymous. They were begging for me to give them the gummy zero point sprite in my purple app chat and then they showed up in my game and knew exactly where I was even though I was camping WAY out on the edge of the map. Do you think Fortnite will take action against them?

You can now use Knowledge Graphs with Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Cursor! 🤩 CodeGPT’s Knowledge Graphs (KG) let you explore your entire codebase. In this case, we're navigating through Anthropic Python SDK. We asked how to send messages in batches and the tool identified the nodes and relationships in all relevant functions and classes. If you're curious about how LLMs will start handling large code repositories, you'll want to start programming CodeGPT’s KGs... I bet Andrej Karpathy will find this fascinating! I hope you get to try them out, because for me, reading documentation feels so 2024... now I just turn repos into KGs and get to work! 🧑🏽‍💻

Time for the Right to learn how to Fight: This is the Story of How Jimmy Kimmel was Ripped Off-Air… What Jimmy Kimmel said about Charlie Kirk is indefensible. It made us all angry. But how do we channel that righteous anger into something productive? We must focus, isolate the enemy and apply swift, immense tactical pressure. Mean tweets are great. But they can be ignored. What can’t be ignored are your paying customers organizing against you and FCC investigations. That is exactly what we did. First thing: ABC is not just another cable channel. ABC operates under a special Federal Broadcast License that lavishes them with taxpayer-funded privileges on the condition that their programming is “fair and equal” and in the “public interest.” The FCC regulates this license, so my team immediately booked the FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on The Benny Show. Chairman Carr put Disney on notice that they were going to have to defend Kimmel’s sick lies about Charlie’s death before the FCC. We made them defend the indefensible. Make them eat it. Then my team contacted ABC, Disney and local station owners all day. This is key. ABC creates the programming BUT privately owned local affiliates choose to broadcast the programming — or not. They have the power. There are hundreds of stations with moral, patriotic audiences who love Charlie Kirk and are sickened by Kimmel. We asked these broadcast affiliates why they would continue to carry such indefensible programming by ABC? To their great credit, Nexstar and Sinclair, two massive ABC affiliates that reach 37 million households told us they were pulling Kimmel out of respect for their viewers. A historic moment. Can’t think of another time that has been done. This is the free market. Kimmel chose to attack Kirk. Viewers chose to not watch Kimmel. If local viewers turn off Kimmel en-masse the local stations have catastrophic loss in ad revenue and the system collapses. Drop an FCC investigation on top of that and Disney has no choice but to rip the toxic programming from the air. This is a generational culture war victory. Charlie always knew how to Fight and Win. We are the majority. When Republicans organize and unite for a common cause we are unstoppable. Let’s unite in this moment and win. For Charlie 👊🏼🇺🇸

Sir Alex Ferguson perfectly sums up everything wrong with modern Premier League football: no risk. “There’s no point in faffing about in midfield with a few passes and not taking a risk.” 🎯 Today’s game is dull, slow and very boring. Teams are drilled to within an inch of their lives. Safe, cautious, zero mavericks. Possession for possession’s sake. Zero courage to commit men forward when it matters. That’s not the Premier League we fell in love with. Fergie knew the magic: take the risk, overload the box, go for the last-minute winner. Dressing room buzzing. Fans going home electric. 🔥 Bring back the risk. Bring back the excitement. The Premier League dies without it.

Is this normal behavior? Me and my gf kill her in the game never shot bodies or made it toxic or gave a single reason for her to not like us infront of 200-300 people btw :) Me and my gf play the game for fun because we’re long distance and only see each other on the weekends Game talk is one thing but she’s personally talking shit about me and my girlfriend to the point where it had to go to text messages off stream, they never had an ounce of beef….fully unsolicited and unwarranted What does a random couple on the internet have anything to do with you? And why do we have to be a topic of stream any chance you get This is the THIRD occurrence so I feel like It’s at a point where I should say something? She’s literally never ending drama

Demo alert: What if your company wiki was automatically written and updated by LLMs? Jim Fisher built a demo of this for Granola using all the meetings we've shared internally. Observations so far: it's incredibly up to date (no more stale docs!) and it requires zero effort. Not having a human author feels... different. When it's missing context on something (ie when something happens but we don't talk about it in a meeting) I want to add it manually to the wiki, but then that'll disappear the next time the page gets regenerated... Generally, makes me bullish on workflows where humans feed tons of unstructured data (easiest of which to create is conversations) to an AI, and then AI organizes + structures it on the fly.

This is HUGE. According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans who say abortion is morally acceptable has dropped from 54% in 2024 to 49% today. That's a cultural shift happening in real time. I am not surprised, though. This is the result of our hard work at Students for Life of America | Pro-Life Gen and our 1700+ student groups nationwide. We've seen it at the National Pro-Life March and our National Pro-Life Summit, where the crowds keep growing and getting younger. We've seen it in the millions of conversations the Pro-Life Generation has had with their peers about the humanity of the preborn. Young people are rejecting the lies of the abortion industry and embracing the truth that every human life has value. I'm incredibly proud of the work being done by Students for Life and Students for Life Action to build a culture where abortion becomes not just illegal, but unthinkable. Keep going. Hearts are changing. Minds are changing. And the culture is changing too! Read the full article at the link in the comments.

I think I've written the world's fastest Blender exporter. It exports full levels in 9 milliseconds. Check out this video where I show live editing of levels from blender, and it updates instantly in the game. For some context: Okay, since the beginning of development on this game project, I knew I didn't want to write a custom level editor for it and rather spend my time programming the game. I decided to use blender as the level editor, and export directly from blender to my game engine's file format. Blender only lets you write add-ons in Python, which is not just incredibly slow but also a terrible platform for this kind of systems programming work. So, after having a Python exporter for the longest time, I decided enough was enough, and I programmed this exporter in C. Blender doesn't expose any C API or interface. So my only option was to download Blender's source code and insert my code directly into Blender. And that's what I did :) So this new C exporter not only is orders of magnitude faster than the python version, but also is way more robust. And because I'm in C land, my hands are much freer to do things. There are two elements of secret sauce that make this exporter run so fast: - A custom memory arena implementation. - Lockless multithreading.

Blender only lets you write add-ons in Python, which is not just incredibly slow but also a terrible platform for this kind of systems programming work. So, after having a Python exporter for the longest time, I decided enough was enough, and I programmed this exporter in C. Blender doesn't expose any C API or interface. So my only option was to download Blender's source code and insert my code directly into Blender. And that's what I did :) So this new C exporter not only is orders of magnitude faster than the python version, but also is way more robust. And because I'm in C land, my hands are much freer to do things. There are two elements of secret sauce that make this exporter run so fast: - A custom memory arena implementation. - Lockless multithreading.

Clawdbot creator Peter Steinberger offers a sobering reframe: Programming isn't dying, it's just becoming a hobby. He's being honest about where it's headed. He recently came across an article making the case that it's okay to mourn programming as a craft, and it struck a chord: "A part of me very strongly resonates with that because in my past, I spent a lot of time tinkering, just being really deep in the flow and just like cranking out code and like finding really beautiful solutions." But mourning, he says, is not the same as resisting. "It's okay to mourn it, but that's not something we can fight." His reasoning cuts to the core of why developer salaries ballooned in the first place: "The world for a long time had a lack of intelligence — if you see it like that — of people building things, and that's why salaries of software developers reached stupidly high amounts. And that will go away." The scarcity that made programming so financially rewarding was never really about the beauty of the craft. It was about supply and demand. AI is eroding that scarcity fast. And Peter Steinberger 🦞 isn't just theorising. He has shipped over 6,600 commits in a single month, much of it AI-assisted, sometimes without reading every line of code. That's what adaptation looks like in practice. The programmers who thrive won't be the ones who insist on writing every line themselves. They'll be the ones who understand systems deeply enough to direct, review, and build with AI as a collaborator. As Steinberger puts it: "The actual art of programming, it will stay there, but it's going to be like knitting — people do that because they like it, not because it makes any sense." The passion for code will always exist, but the era of it being a scarce and highly paid profession is coming to an end.

"Throughout his life, Noam has insisted that intellectuals have a responsibility to speak the truth and expose lies — especially when those truths are uncomfortable to themselves." She says. One of the only things I agree with Chomsky about, what he repeated at SFSU in 2002 in his lecture I attended, was that there was precisely no point in "speaking truth to power" because the powerful where so because they knew the truth- which is what made them powerful (through their lies). Even in this clip where Chomsky got something philosophically right he used the opportunity to shit on AES projects and told us that Lenin, Stalin, and Mao would not have cared about truth. This is the lie, spoken FROM A POSITION OF POWER in the west as a anarchist that undermined revolution for the establishment. Chomsky can be forgiven for Epstein, he cannot be forgiven for his lifetime of work against the real movement and against Communism.
