"Software research is a train wreck," says Hillel Wayne, a Chicago-based software consultant who specialises in formal methods, instancing the received wisdom that bugs are way more expensive to fix once software is deployed. Wayne did some research, noting that "if you Google 'cost of a software bug' you will get tons of articles that say 'bugs found in requirements are 100x cheaper than bugs found in implementations.' They all use this chart from the 'IBM Systems Sciences Institute'... There'

You’re not short on tools. Or models. Or frameworks. What you’re short on is a principled way to use them — at scale. Building effective generative AI workflows, especially agentic ones, means navigating a combinatorial explosion of choices. Every new retriever, prompt strategy, text splitter, embedding model, or synthesizing LLM multiplies the space of possible workflows, resulting in a search space with over 10²³ possible configurations.

Editor's take: Game prices are climbing to $70 and beyond, with publishers blaming inflation and rising development costs. However, players are pushing back against the price hikes because current big-budget games consistently fail to deliver comparable value. Current prices are a symptom of a much bigger problem.

A hot potato: Video games are becoming more expensive – Microsoft announced last week that it would be selling some of its upcoming titles for $80, while Nintendo will be doing the same with Switch 2 releases. One of the companies' arguments for this increase is that games now have enormous budgets with massive teams, all of which supposedly benefit the players, yet the three best-reviewed games of 2025 so far are all budget titles.

After a dip that coincided with when the stock market crashed (remember when Bitcoin was supposed to be a hedge against market volatility?), the cryptocurrency is pushing back up toward its all-time high. Despite that, it seems that mining for the cryptocurrency is no longer worth it, even for some larger mining operations. According to data recently published by CoinShares, the cost of electricity and computational power needed to mine for Bitcoin now often exceeds the actual value of the coin.
