Lowongan junior sekarang sudah minta system design. Itu reality check-nya yang harus kita pahami. standar minimalnya naik dan ngebuat Ekspektasi untuk level junior tinggi. Di perusahaan AI-native, ada sekitar 20,8 lowongan senior buat setiap 1 lowongan junior. Dari lowongan junior yang tersisa, 40% minta ownership atau end-to-end responsibility, dan 26% nyebut system design. Sumbernya laporan Landed jobs. Paper IZA bulan Juni juga nemu lowongan software level junior turun 14 sampai 15% dibanding yang senior, setelah ChatGPT keluar. Mostly karena employer minta more experience, padahal job title-nya sama. Terus, junior sama senior masih dibutuhkan? Iya. Yang naik itu expectation-nya, bukan pekerjaannya hilang. Kenapa? - karena junior sekarang ga cuma yang ngerjain tiket. Perlu ownership - senior nge-review keputusan, dan punya knowledge buat tau AI-nya salah atau halu - system design tetap ditanya, baik junior maupun senior, karena coding udah dibantu AI. System design butuh context bisnis Kalo diliat di lowongan Indonesia, polanya mirip. Yang sering diminta: - ownership, bukan cuma nulis code doang - end-to-end, ngerti kenapa perlu shipping product atau feature, impact-nya ke bisnis, sampai release - system design, enggak cuma list tool yang dipake di CV Apa ini salahnya hiring team? Enggak. Dengan AI, manager expect satu orang ngerjain lebih banyak. Yang dulu di-split, sekarang expected selesai di satu orang. Jadi junior perlu ngecek diri ke standar itu. Lantas gimana bisa level up? - mentoring sama senior. Kalo di kantor ga ada senior, lewat komunitas - always learn something new, terutama cara ngecek output AI - punya satu project kecil yang keliatan impact-mu, dan apa yang kamu pelajarin - biasain jelasin keputusan yang diambil, plus pro and cons-nya

That ratio explains why bootcamps are dying. Nobody pays to train you for a role that barely exists anymore.

Two bets on the same problem: Physical Intelligence wants one generalist model for every robot, The Bot Company wants one narrow task shipped into real homes. Both land on the same truth — field evals beat lab demos, and that's where this industry actually separates.
Paril Jain, co-founder and CTO of The Bot Company, and Quan Vuong, co-founder of Physical Intelligence met on the Runway AI Summit stage to talk real-world evals, deploying robots in the field and where robotics will be in three years.

The worst part is that the AirPods case can tell a bud is inside, but it doesn't realize it isn't charging. A quick charging-state check would catch this before you head out with one dead AirPod.

Updated my Mom’s iPhone SE 2 to the 17e. The camera is absolutely massive by comparison.

The camera module is basically an entire iPhone SE 2 crammed behind that lens. She went from a 12MP single sensor to a 48MP one, which is a huge upgrade for photos at that price.

CME launches the first AI compute futures contract on Oct 5 (pending approval). B200 hourly rental: $5.86 H100 hourly rental: $2.77 36-month forward curve. Bitcoin miners with AI data-center capacity can now hedge compute revenue like oil producers hedge crude. AI compute is officially a tradable commodity class.

36-month forwards on GPU hours mean compute is officially becoming a commodity. Forward-pricing B200s at $5.86/hr means the market expects training demand to stay sticky.

That $100 off is the excuse, but the RAM bump is why the Mini finally feels like a full iPad instead of the compromise one.

It stings that it took twelve launches to call iterative deployment broken. Nuclear-grade safeguards for software that ships weekly were never realistic, so what replaces that compromise?
OpenAI safety lead David Robinson quit after 12 frontier launches. In The Atlantic: "I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken." Argues "iterative deployment" fails as models scale; wants nuclear/airport-grade safeguards. Same week OpenAI fired 3 safety researchers. The safety brain drain is real.

The telling part of this panel: "control and consistency matter most." The creative-AI pendulum has swung from one-shot generation back to edit-first tools — the winners will be the ones that let you iterate on a locked style, not the ones that generate a new roll of the dice every time.

Continuum is a Runway Labs project — the R&D arm — and that's the tell. The name is the roadmap: not a sharper clip model but video that keeps going. While everyone else fights over resolution, Runway is betting persistence is the next unlock.

The part nobody's saying: this collapses three departments into one loop. Creative, media buying and optimization used to be separate teams with separate budgets and constant handoffs. Runway Ads runs them as a single autonomous system — the 1,000% volume is just what that looks like from the outside. The interesting question is what happens to the agency fee structure built on those handoffs.
Introducing Runway Ads, an autonomous engine for performance marketing. Since July, we’ve used Runway Ads to: -Scale ad volume 1,000% while doubling our return on ad spend -Increase conversion by 34% with click-through rate holding steady -Bring our cost per subscriber down 41% -And add $100M ARR Now, we’re making it available to select enterprise partners and will be rolling it out widely in the coming weeks.

You don't read a spec sheet anymore. You just plug it in and ask.

RGB MiniLED is the part worth paying attention to — red, green and blue LEDs instead of blue + quantum dots, so you skip the color conversion loss and get a wider gamut. 100 inches of that with Gemini built in is a genuinely different TV.

Half the problem is you can't tell anymore. Does it catch the ones that don't label themselves?
I can't stand GenAI like this, so I made a plugin that deletes it from your feed.

Hot-staging used to be the most dangerous second in rocketry — six engines lighting against the booster's exhaust while still attached. By Flight 14 it's just another frame. Progress is when the scary part becomes routine.

Full disk access became the default ask the moment AI agents arrived, and nobody audits what they read. Per-folder grants are the right fix, just like Apple did with screen recording.
Amid the rapid rise in AI agents requesting “Full Disk Access” to your Mac, Apple says it is making changes to macOS to protect user privacy. More 9to5mac.com/apple-says-its-t…

Tracing across the whole request path is what Workers observability was missing. Nice to see it in open beta.

Re-enabling works until Microsoft kills that toggle too. EWS is on a deprecation clock, so a migration now is one painful move and a re-enable is two.
No, IT teams should simply re-enable EWS if they are affected. Orders of magnitude more simple than mass user migration.

Eight years after Falcon Heavy first flew, its 14th mission is a classified NRO payload — and the side boosters still touch down at LZ-1 and LZ-2 like it's routine. Reusability stopped being the story and became the baseline.

Everyone else is bolting a chatbot onto the desktop. Runway is betting the video stream itself becomes the interface — you direct the screen in real time instead of clicking through windows. If that holds, the pointer is the first casualty.

Apa point jadi ambassador? Wah, menarik sih ini. Aku jawab sbg Codex Ambassador ya, krn tweet awalnya bahas Google Student Ambassador. Programnya beda, tp mungkin tugas dan tanggung jawabnya mirip2. Apa point jadi ambassador? Jawaban apa paling gampang?? Ya bikin orang kenal produk kita misalnyaa. Pasti ada unsur promosinya. Tp buatku kegiatannya nggak berhenti di bikin konten, terus ngajak orang pakai Codex. Aku bisa bikin acara bareng Codex Community. Bentuknya bisa macam-macam. • Meetup buat kenalan dan sharing • Coffee chat yg lebih santai • Workshop buat belajar sambil praktik • Hackathon buat build something bareng Ada support buat acara, termasuk F&B reimbursement. Jadi orang-orang yg punya minat sama bisa ketemu dan nyoba hal baru. Credits yg dibagi ke peserta juga bisa dipakai buat eksperimen, bikin prototype, gagal, lalu perbaiki lagi. Event begini juga muter uang ke venue, makanan, dan vendor lokal. Jelas satu meetup nggak bikin ekonomi negara langsung naik 😂 Tp ada orang dan usaha kecil yg ikut dapat manfaat. FYI, event yg kami bikin sering full. Pendaftar bisa sekitar 200 orang, sedangkan tempatnya cuma muat 50–70 orang. Minatnya ada bgt. Tantangannya skrg gimana bikin orang yg datang benar-benar dapat sesuatu, bukan cuma pulang bawa foto dan free food. Foto ini dari Codex Hackathon Jakarta, Juli 2026. Orang-orangnya beneran datang buat build bareng.
Gen ask, what's the point of being Google Student Ambassador? Not to be bitter or offensive, but genuinely, soalnya aku liat kebanyakan postingannya promosi AI dan Gemini😅 Gak tau ya kalau yang lain gimana, tapi banyak yang pake AI, even generative AI dalam promosinya...

The title is the least valuable part. Ambassador programs are a backdoor into a community that takes years to build alone.
