OpenAI now lets you tweak ChatGPT's enthusiasm and warmth directly. Finally, an AI that doesn't have to be so damn peppy.

Every website is doing a year wrapped. But is it actually something people even remotely want or care about? In my case, Spotify makes sense, so does YouTube. But an OpenRouter wrapped? WTF...

Coursera and Udemy are merging. If it closes, it'll be one company under the Coursera name. Big consolidation in online learning!

Experimental GCC backend in Rust now fully bootstraps GCC! Can we FINALLY stop calling it the "GNU C Compiler"? 🤭 Even my CS teachers still do... (it's actually the GNU Compiler Collection!)

RAM prices skyrocketing due to AI demand. DDR5 16GB chips up ~300% in 3 months ($6.84 → $27.20). DDR4 rising too. Stock up now or wait it out?

CS is just linear algebra and boolean algebra, repeated endlessly with different syntax.

Loving Affinity for image editing. It's not actually new, but ever since Canva bought it, it's free and snappier than Photoshop!

38% of Stanford undergrads now registered as disabled (up 2x post-COVID, mostly anxiety/ADHD). That's 1 in 3 getting extra test time + priority dorms. Harvard ~20%, community colleges ~3%.

Anthropic acquires Bun – the fast JS runtime powering Claude Code. First acquisition for them. Interesting for AI and web dev.

Advent of Code has finally started! Go solve today's puzzle now!
