TrapDoor planted 34 packages across npm, PyPI and Crates.io to steal Solana/Sui/Aptos wallet keys. Each registry fires differently: postinstall, import-time, and Rust build.rs.
Bun PR #30412 merged a Zig-to-Rust rewrite into main: 6,755 commits, 1M+ lines, binaries 3–8 MB smaller. Try via bun upgrade --canary, with notes on the claude/* branch workflow and why memory safety, not speed, drove it.
Andrew Quinn shrank a Finnish dictionary from 3GB SQLite FTS to a 10MB FST binary. The 300× win required prefix search, agglutinative inflection, static data, and shared suffixes.
VecLite is a Rust/WASM+SIMD library that accelerates vector search inside the browser. How far can you get with Transformers.js for embeddings, IndexedDB for storage, and no server at all?
A paper claims that a single binary operator eml(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y) combined with the constant 1 can express all elementary functions — arithmetic, trig, logarithms, even pi. I read the paper and tested it in 5 languages.
Hypura breaks away from llama.cpp’s mmap design and streams even dense models with a three-tier NVMe placement, while TurboQuant eliminates quantization-constant overhead via a polar-coordinate transform. Includes a design comparison with Flash‑MoE and a review of scenarios where KV‑cache compression actually helps.
VectorWare has announced the first implementation of Rust's Future trait and async/await running on GPUs by adapting the Embassy executor to a GPU environment.
