I'm building a Space Cadet Pinball Machine! [video]

The creator documents the process of building a physical Space Cadet Pinball machine, inspired by the classic Windows game, showing the design, construction, and assembly of the playfield and cabinet.

Background

- This video is by a creator building a physical, playable replica of the "Space Cadet" pinball table — the iconic 3D pinball game that came bundled with Microsoft Windows (from Windows 95 through Windows XP). - "Space Cadet" (full title: *3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet*) was developed by Cinematronics and Maxis, and later published by Microsoft. It became one of the most widely recognized casual computer games of the late 1990s and early 2000s, remembered fondly by millions who grew up with it. - The creator is not a company; this is a personal engineering/DIY project, typical of the "maker" community on YouTube. The video documents the process of designing and building the physical table from scratch, including electronics, mechanics, and software. - The context that matters: pinball machines are complex electromechanical systems, and adapting a digital game into a physical one involves reverse-engineering the original game's logic and recreating every mechanism (flippers, bumpers, ramps, etc.) by hand. For fans, this project blends nostalgia with technical craftsmanship.

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
