"The theater didn't ask if I was ready. It just kept going and I learned how to keep up." Sound designer Roc Lee spent 10 years in live theater before game dev and says the habits it forced on him were really game audio habits all along. #gamedev #gdocexpo2026

anyone who says they use LLMs for research I do not take seriously of all uses, that's probably the *worst* thing you can use it for. it *reliably* mixes false information in with true information - exactly what misinformation campaigns do, except you're *opting in* to misinformation. bizarre.

Morgan Stanley analysts calculate the effects of soaring memory chip prices on the cost of smartphones and other devices and...yikes.
How crazy could it get? To protect gross margins based on memory cost alone, we estimate like-for-like prices would need to rise ~34% for smartphones, ~67% for PCs, ~83% for servers and ~14% for storage. A 67% PC ASP increase would be the strongest in the market's history, 8-9x larger than even COVID-era inflation. Nobody passes all of this through, which is why it surfaces instead as margin pressure, spec cuts and delayed launches.

Rainfall intensity matters as much as how much rain falls. New in Nature: Corey Lesk and I show that daily-scale concentration of precipitation dries the land over the long-run, an effect as strong as total precipitation is climatological wetting. Paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

More concentrated precipitation decreases terrestrial water storage - Nature
Concentration of precipitation in large events decreases land water availability, and this effect will further increase with a future warming climate.
