Starting game development in JavaScript with no experience

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency

Structured (Synchronous) Concurrency @_fsantanna I have recently learned about Structured Concurrency (SC), which supports nested coroutines with tied lifetimes. There are a number of libraries (Dill, Trio, Effection), and even language mechanisms in Swift and Kotlin. The similarities with Esterel and derived imperative synchronous languages (ISLs) is noteworthy. However, it seems that no bridges between these worlds (ISLs & SC) have been built.

In Brief OpenAI announced late Friday that it’s updating its latest model to be “warmer and friendlier.” The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we’d hoped for,” with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are “subtle” but will make GPT-5 “more approachable now.” “You’ll notice

Evidence Grows That GPT-5 Is a Bit of a Dud

Power users of OpenAI's blockbuster chatbot ChatGPT were left largely unimpressed by the company's recently unveiled GPT-5 AI model. Those who became familiar with the convivial and sycophantic tone of GPT-5's predecessor were particularly distraught by its "cold" and far less supportive demeanor, accusing OpenAI of cutting corners. The pushback was significant enough for OpenAI to both make previous iterations available once more to paying customers — and even to lean back into the sycophancy

Many of these opinions revolve around education. Adults fret that kids will turn ChatGPT into a research bot, paper writer, or math problem solver.

One hundred frozen embryos meant to reboot humanity are safe in a bomb shelter, but the intended adult caretakers never made it. Instead, 12 random civilians stumbled in.
