Robloquake is a project that ports the Quake engine to the Roblox platform, allowing the classic first-person shooter to run within Roblox. It implements Quake's rendering, gameplay, and level loading using Roblox's native capabilities.
Background
- Quake is the landmark 1996 first-person shooter (by id Software, led by John Carmack) whose engine pioneered true 3D real-time rendering and became the foundation for countless games. Its source code was later released under the GPL, making it a favorite target for porting experiments.
- Roblox is a massive online game platform (mostly popular with kids and teens) where users create and share games using Roblox's proprietary engine and scripting language, Lua. It's known for its blocky, low-fidelity aesthetic and strict sandbox limitations.
- This project ("Robloquake") is a technical feat: a reverse-engineering effort to get the full Quake engine running inside Roblox's constraints — something far outside the platform's intended use case. It's notable in game-dev circles for demonstrating how far Roblox's engine can be pushed, and as a quirky preservation/porting project.
Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
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.
