Palantir provides data management, operational planning, and optimization for the UN World Food Programme (WFP). It is reportedly “the cornerstone of the WFP data ecosystem”. Vast amount of data are being collected - the WFP operates in 120 countries. Read more ›
I’m working on a Kubernetes operator and an API server for it to interface with. Both of these are crates in the same Rust workspace. The motivation for this was that I wanted to define all of the types used by the two services in one place, and keep the services tightly-coupled. When writing the operator, I wrote a protocol to define the HTTP requests the operator sends to the server: Read more ›
Quantum computing is buried under hype, but the basics are concrete: a qubit is a vector, a gate is a matrix, and you can simulate small quantum circuits in plain Python with NumPy. You do not need a quantum computer to understand how one works. A qubit is a vector A classical bit is 0 or 1. A qubit is a combination of both, written as a 2-element vector of amplitudes: import numpy as np zero = np.array([1, 0]) # |0> one = np.array([0, 1]) # |1> # a superposition: equal parts |0> and |1> plus...

Technology Shares Weigh on U.S. Market Outlook Wall Street appeared headed for a weaker start on Tuesday as investors continued to rotate out of technology stocks amid concerns over persistent interest rate pressures and the enormous capital requirements associated with artificial intelligence infrastructure. Nasdaq futures led losses after another decline in SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX), while... Read more ›

'Lord of the Rings' Palantir was born in 2003 from former founders of PayPal -- known as the PayPal Mafia -- in the wake of the September 11 attacks. It pitched software that could sift through vast intelligence datasets to flag threats -- an idea adapted from PayPal's fraud-detection systems. Peter Thiel, the arch-conservative PayPal co-founder, believed better data-sharing between agencies might have prevented 9/11, and built the company around a mission of "defending the West." The name ca... Read more ›

In May 2026, the Bun team did something the software industry has been whispering about for years: they rewrote their entire runtime from Zig to Rust. Not over the course of a year with a dedicated team. In six days. Using AI agents. At nearly a million lines of code, Read more ›
Shuttle-based trapped ion quantum processors typically employ a one-dimensional (1D) linear architecture to transport ion-qubits between one ore more laser interaction zones where the quantum gates are implemented, along with several qubit register storage segments. The two-dimensional (2D) quantum CCD architecture employs also T- or X-junctions for an improved scaling and efficiency. Here, we explore the shuttling layer in the compilation of ... Read more ›

Probably the biggest change for Python over the last five years or so is the advent of the "free-threaded" version of the language, which removes the global interpreter lock (GIL) and allows multiple threads to run in parallel in the interpreter. At , held in Long Beach, California in mid-May, longtime CPython core developer (and current steering council member) Thomas Wouters gave a talk about the feature. He looked at the motivation behind the GIL-removal efforts, some history, the current ... Read more ›
