Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉
By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥
V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

routers are the hot thing
it’s a problem that needs to be solved. how do you scale down compute for easier problems?
this one takes a wildly different approach, scaling down compute on a per-token basis

oh this took me too long to figure out — the "zero computation experts"
they have a (mostly) regular MoE router, but some of the experts are actually nothing at all. So the MoE router sometimes entirely skips experts

GPT-5 is an incremental improvement, with a focus on Agentic AI over big model improvements. That's fine. What's disappointing is the still lack of native MCP support and getting on board with the delegated security model and elicitation. For that we're still relying on third parties.

Italy have beaten Scotland at the European qualifier for the men's T20 World Cup and are extremely well placed to make their first World Cup.
Netherlands likely to beat Guernsey this afternoon which will mean Italy will just need to avoid a heavy defeat against the Dutch on Friday to qualify. (1/3)

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use.
An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance.
When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.

Almost done with the interaction of my WebGPU fluid simulation!
After testing BVH geometry and marching cubes with compute shaders, I chose raymarching for hands interaction & rendering.
It adapts well with MLS-MPM and enables precise interaction in real-time for <2ms.

Introducing MCP-native middleware, as easy as 1-2-FastMCP.
With FastMCP 2.9, you can now add cross-cutting logic like auth and logging with high-level hooks that understand your tools and resources.

I’ve been saying this for a while: data streaming needs to be polyglot. I’m addressing this with Iron Functions: a WebAssembly-based runtime that enables writing #ApacheFlink transformations in several languages like TypeScript, Rust, and Go.

🐊 Kroxylicious Proposal: "Routing API"
This looks like a very useful addition to @kroxylicious.io (wire-protocol proxy for Apache Kafka): dynamic routing of requests to different upstream clusters, enabling use cases such as union clusters and client-based routing.

I have a theory on what Apple is up to with their latest update. I believe Apple is purposefully deprecating the user interface to wean us off of apps and home screens.

What if you could share an S2 stream directly with an end client, no additional proxy middleware to implement? S2 now supports granular scopes on access tokens! I'll share more on it soon.
