Dropping the requirement for C++-only bootstrapping
Dear compiler developers, I'm happy to announce that from now on "mandatory" parts of the compiler can be implemented in Swift (on the main branch). So far we only used Swift as an implementation language in parts of the compiler which are not strictly necessary for correct code generation of the standard library, like some optimization passes. Now, we can use Swift in all parts of the compiler, including the parser, AST, type checker or mandatory SIL passes. We are dropping the requirement…

Anthropic Opens Claude Security Beta as Mythos Access Fight Deepens
Anthropic has published Claude Security today as a public beta for Claude Enterprise customers, turning a February research preview into a product for code scanning and patch workflows. It scans repositories, validates findings, and routes fixes through Claude Code. But the launch lands as the White House pushes back on expanded Mythos access, leaving Anthropic to draw a line between commercial defense and restricted frontier cyber capability for buyers.

Contrary to Elon Musk's claims about Neuralink Blindsight, ReVision Implant admits about their V1 implant that it will not work for congenitally blind adults, i.e. "blindness contracted from birth as then the visual cortex does not develop normally" https://www.revision-implant.com/faq
