TypeScript types can run DOOM

A developer successfully implemented the 1993 video game Doom to run entirely within TypeScript's type system, requiring 177 terabytes of types and 12 days of processing for a single frame. The project involved building a complete web assembly virtual machine using only TypeScript types, making it possibly the largest TypeScript codebase ever created.

State of emergency declared after blackout plunges most of Chile into darkness | CNN

A massive power outage in Chile affected 8 million homes across 14 regions, disrupting transportation, internet, and mobile services. The government declared a state of emergency and implemented a curfew while investigating the cause of the blackout, which stemmed from a disrupted high-voltage transmission line. By Wednesday, 90% of affected areas had power restored, though 220,000 customers remained without electricity.

The FFT Strikes Back: An Efficient Alternative to Self-Attention

FFTNet introduces a novel approach to sequence processing using Fast Fourier Transform, achieving O(n log n) complexity compared to traditional self-attention's quadratic complexity. The framework employs spectral filtering and modReLU activation to efficiently capture long-range dependencies, demonstrating superior performance on Long Range Arena and ImageNet benchmarks.

Canadian VPS Review : Luke Cyca Dot Calm

A detailed review compares three Canadian VPS providers - Serv3r.net, Globo.Tech, and FullHost - evaluating their performance, pricing, and features. FullHost emerges as the preferred choice, offering better performance and lower costs compared to DigitalOcean, despite lacking IPv6 support. The analysis covers technical specifications, network connectivity, and real-world performance benchmarks.

Y Combinator Supports AI Startup Dehumanizing Factory Workers

A Y Combinator-backed startup, Optifye.ai, has developed an AI surveillance system that monitors factory workers' movements and productivity through computer vision. The system, created by Duke University students from manufacturing families, allows supervisors to track worker efficiency in real-time and confront underperforming employees directly. The technology raises concerns about worker privacy and workplace conditions, similar to existing surveillance systems in remote work and Amazon warehouses.

EdgeDB is now Gel and Postgres is the Future | Gel Blog

PostgreSQL's unique position as a truly open-source, advanced relational database with extensive modularity is driving its accelerating adoption across the industry. EdgeDB announces its rebranding as Gel, introducing full SQL support and deeper ecosystem integration while maintaining its role as a PostgreSQL frontend layer enhancement. The platform aims to provide seamless database integration similar to how TypeScript enhances JavaScript.

Y Combinator deletes posts after a startup's demo goes viral | TechCrunch

An AI-powered worker monitoring system by Y Combinator startup Optifye.ai sparked controversy after demonstrating real-time factory worker surveillance capabilities. The demo video showing performance tracking of 'Number 17' led to social media backlash, resulting in YC removing the content from their platforms. The incident highlights growing concerns about workplace AI surveillance despite continued VC investment in similar technologies.

Gleam, coming from Erlang

A developer shares their experience building a feed aggregator using Gleam, a type-safe language running on the Erlang VM.

DeepGEMM is a CUDA library offering efficient FP8 matrix multiplications with fine-grained scaling, supporting both normal and Mix-of-Experts GEMMs. The lightweight library matches or exceeds performance of expert-tuned libraries, featuring runtime compilation and Hopper tensor core optimization, while maintaining a simple ~300-line core kernel.

New Maps of the Bizarre, Chaotic Space-Time Inside Black Holes | Quanta Magazine

Physicists are exploring the chaotic nature of space-time near black hole singularities using new mathematical tools and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Recent research revisits the Mixmaster universe theory from the 1960s, suggesting that space near singularities experiences chaotic stretching and compression in multiple directions. These studies aim to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics and potentially reveal fundamental truths about space-time.
