Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit. A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

I did a whole research project on this in grad school. Companies reap over $300 BILLION a year in free labor from customers using self-checkouts. If they’re not going to pay customers, they can shave some price.

Insane, isn't Scott Alexander supposed to be a highly intelligent guy ? How do so few of you know this by now ? Ultrasound *can* absolutely get through your skull

Jim Courier "I'm not saying electronic line calling is perfect but it makes far fewer mistakes than humans. Matches should be decided by the players not by people, not in 2026." Every other tournament uses Hawkeye except Roland Garros.

OpenAI Robotics is hiring, looking for exceptional full-stack hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers to help us program and manufacture robots that are useful for society. AI should be able to help people in the physical world. In the short term, we are focused on robots to support skilled workers to build our future infrastructure; in the long term, we imagine everyone having a personal robot doing anything they need. Our world simulation research program, led by Aditya Ramesh (@model_mechanic), has evolved over the past year into OpenAI Robotics. Progress is rapid, and based on a foundation of co-design between robotics hardware and ML research. If you love working hands-on across the robotics stack and want to build the future, please consider joining us.
