Rust has a linear algebra problem.

See, linear algebra is super important for many of the applications where Rust is most commonly used. Yet, we have an underwhelming set of linear algebra libraries.

Matthew Treinish of IBM Quantum explains why they're underwhelming 👇

nextest can now rerun failing tests!

cargo nextest self update --version 0.9.123-b.3
# enable functionality, see link
cargo nextest run

If tests fail and/or the run is cancelled, then:

cargo nextest run -R latest

to rebuild and pick up from where the test run left off.

Please test this out!
Record, replay, and rerun - cargo-nextest
Recording test runs, replaying them later, and rerunning test failures.

Another Erdos problem this morning:

(just to respond to a few people-- the system does NOT work by trying every possible answer and then checking. There's not enough matter and energy in the universe to solve theorems by trying every possible combination of symbols or whatever)

The `interpn` library for Rust and Python has the fastest interpolation algorithms I'm aware of - up to 250x faster than Scipy - and today it got faster!

After years of focusing on single-thread performance, I finally called it good gave it more cores - and the parallel speedup is nearly linear!

On behalf of the packaging maintainers, I’d like to announce packaging 26.0rc1 is out! Please try it out, as it's a huge release. If you'd like to read about the performance work making this the fastest version of packaging ever, see my post:

How we made Python's packaging library 3x faster
Along with a pip (and now packaging) maintainer, Damian Shaw, I have been working on making packaging, the library behind almost all packaging related tools, faster at reading versions and specifiers,...

Astronomers made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the JWST:

A runaway super-massive black hole, rocketing through space at a staggering 1,000 km/s, leaving a 200,000 light-year-long tail in its wake in which gas is accumulating and triggering star formation.

James Webb Space Telescope confirms 1st 'runaway' supermassive black hole rocketing through home galaxy at 2.2 million mph: 'It boggles the mind!'
"The forces that are needed to dislodge such a massive black hole from its home are enormous."

After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.

Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
