Bend 2 is here!
It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via *proof checking* - the same technique big AI labs used to solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes.
It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs.
Watch the video. Link in the comments.
RELEASE DAY
After almost 10 years of hard work, tireless research, and a dive deep into the kernels of computer science, I finally realized a dream: running a high-level language on GPUs. And I'm giving it to the world!
Bend compiles modern programming features, including:
- Lambdas with full closure support
- Unrestricted recursion and loops
- Fast object allocations of all kinds
- Folds, ADTs, continuations and much more
To HVM2, a new runtime capable of spreading that workload across 1000's of cores, in a thread-safe, low-overhead fashion. As a result, we finally have a true high-level language that runs natively on GPUs!
Here's a quick demo:

⛩️【THANK YOU - SAMURAI SHODOWN PLAYERS - VEGAS CLIMAX VI】🫂
I want to extend my deepest thanks to every single player who came out to Vegas Climax VI for Samurai Shodown. This community continues to show up with passion, respect, and heart, and it was an honor to host all of you.
Throughout the weekend, several players — veterans, newcomers, and travelers alike — shared how grateful they were to have TOs who go above and beyond to make sure the experience is as smooth, fair, and competitive as possible. Hearing that directly from you means more than you know. What especially moved me were the conversations I overheard with the Japan players. They expressed how pleased they were with their ability to execute their gameplay on the Xbox Series setups. Their feedback reinforced something our region has been fighting for and demonstrating for years: that Samurai Shodown simply plays at its best on Xbox Series.
After this tournament, I genuinely feel that the four-year effort to run SamSho on Xbox Series — across locals, regionals, majors, and community‑driven events — is finally being understood and recognized at a global level. The performance difference is real, and players from around the world felt it this weekend. My sincere hope is that this momentum, and the voices of the players who experienced it firsthand, will be meaningfully considered by those responsible for the upcoming SWC Finals.
Thank you again to everyone who competed, supported, traveled, and helped make Vegas Climax VI something truly special for the SamSho community.
You all made this event unforgettable❣️

I described some of the most beautiful and famous mathematical theorems to Midjourney.
Here is how it imagined them:
1. "The set of real numbers is uncountably infinite."

There is serious startup, technology, and business model innovation in Asia. In 2017, I took a leap of faith and moved out there to explore.

I'm speechless.
Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper.
The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion.
In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds.

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.
