One of the best free courses on low-level performance programming - Aalto University's Programming Parallel Computers covers SIMD, pipelining, cache optimization, and more.
If you care about squeezing CPU cycles, this is definitely worth taking up.

It's now possible to compile Python extensions (C, C , Rust etc) to WebAssembly and distribute them through PyPI such that Pyodide can install them directly simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/1…
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

A competitor shipped an AI-agent integration and I felt behind for about an hour.
Then it clicked: mine already did more — I'd just never listed it anywhere agents actually look.
So today wasn't building. It was distribution. That was the real gap all along.
Great software always took shape in conversation, not the commit. With agents, the conversation that generates the code is becoming the true source of our software. And Git can't keep up.
So we built something that can. Meet DeltaDB: zed.dev/blog/introducing-del…
I want to say a final thing about my Fable first reaction: I dedicated my life to programming and I'll use every innovation in the field, also to extract value and bring it to the local inference world, to Redis, and so forth. But:
"Significant surprise" doesn't even cover it. I know this is going to sound like I'm hyping, but I swear this is just what happened: I was told what the surprise was, and I was legitimately taken aback to the point where I had to ask Jon if I understood him correctly.
I don't watch many talks but Andrew Kelley's "A Practical Guide to Applying Data Oriented Design" had a big impact on me.
First watched it right around when I started working on Ruff.
