This is the coolest article I've ever written. Genuinely. All of you should read it.

Compression and LLMs are trying to solve the exact same problem: predicting what comes next. @anniesexton.com's interactive essay walks us through the basics of compression to reveal its surprising overlap with every language model you've ever used.

TypeScript is now officially written in Go.

In case you missed it, TypeScript 7 is a complete 10x faster version of the compiler & language server. It's a full port to parallelized native code. It runs faster, uses less memory, and is more stable than ever before.

I don’t care what people say, Modern C++ is starting to get really cool.

 For example, C++26 compile-time reflection uses this neat little trick to represent heterogeneous data with a single, scalar value (std::meta::info). 

 This value is *technically* an ID into the compiler's AST.

A lot of human creative domains will have to face this superhuman memoization and pattern matching monstrosity that is deficient in every other aspect of the creative domain. The output of this superhuman machine misses the point of the whole creative endeavor. (2/2)

The White House is now like one of those outsider art shacks in the California desert where the probably crazy occupant just keeps gluing weird stuff on the walls.
