Google's Antigravity is crazy. I tried it on a web game I videcoded earlier to change the gameplay, and it actually started the app, opened of the browser and tried to play it to check if it worked. It also saved a video of the session for me to review. WTF?

Like most Portuguese clubs, Sporting are very reliant on player sales, earning €633m in the last decade, including a record €102m last season - and that is before the sale of Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal #SportingCP #AFC

The data contains 10 full games of tracking data (at 10fps), SkillCorner's dynamic events and phases of play for those 10 games, and physical aggregate data for midfielders in 175 games. I think that's about as different as it can get, but I might be biased.

🇨🇻🎉 Cape Verde have done it!
In the end, they didn’t even need a win thanks to Cameroon’s result but the islanders qualify for the World Cup in style anyway!
They become the second smallest nation (by population) ever to reach the finals!

🇨🇻 Today's the day that Cape Verde could seal their place at the 2026 World Cup.
A win away in Libya would make their the second smallest nation (by population) ever to qualify for the finals!

Minnows Cape Verde are ready for the World Cup
Cape Verde are on the brink of making history. Following their September victory over one of Africa’s footballing behemoths, Cameroon, the tiny archipelago nation are now one win away from qualifying for their first World Cup.

The biggest match so far in the Portuguese league. Let's look at how it's going: 30m, 0 shots. I wonder why I don't bother with the league anymore...

This could be a really interesting development.
Yes: hiring managers at one or two scaleups (Series A+) I talked with said they’re starting to hire juniors again because the talent pool is very good, and juniors use AI tools better+more productive+more creative than many seniors

I think the AI job automation/augmentation dichotomy doesn’t help much. Automation can be a form of augmentation (have the AI write an analyst report so analysts can focus on higher value work) & augmentation can be automation (you may need less workers if productivity goes up)
