1. Jepsen: NATS 2.12.1 Total comment counts : 10 Summary Jepsen independently evaluated NATS JetStream (v2.12.1) and found data loss under several fault conditions. On minority-node data corruption or truncation, coordinated power failures, OS crashes with delays or pauses, committed writes could be lost and persistent split-brain could occur. The root cause traced to a disk-flush policy that waited two minutes before acknowledging writes. A belated note cites a similar issue with process crashes in v2....

1. CUDA-L2: Surpassing cuBLAS Performance for Matrix Multiplication Through RL Total comment counts : 2 Summary CUDA-L2 is a system that uses large language models and reinforcement learning to automatically optimize half-precision GEMM CUDA kernels. It reportedly outperforms major matmul baselines, including PyTorch’s matmul and NVIDIA cuBLAS/cuBLASLt. The kernels are trained on A100 hardware, with caveats about potential speedups on other GPUs; kernels for other machines will be released progressively. For dimensions not covered, users can pad to the nearest configuration or open GitHub issues for requests....

1. Ghostty is now non-profit Total comment counts : 27 Summary Ghostty is now fiscally sponsored by Hack Club (a 501(c)(3)), extending its tax-exempt status to Ghostty.
