John Carmack praises SemiAnalysis for systems-level insight, highlighting 800VDC datacenter designs leveraging EV-commoditized parts and a new 10kV SiC MOSFET enabling direct medium-voltage AC line interface.

I have been very impressed by @SemiAnalysis_ . I think of myself as a wide ranging systems engineer, looking for value at every level from the chip specs to the user interface, but SA exposes me to additional levels of "the system", both above (datacenters) and below (semiconductor fabrication). It probably puts me in "just knows enough to be dangerous" territory. Neat things I learned today: Some of the 800VDC datacenter design choices leverage parts commoditized by electric vehicles. There

vLLM announcing a Rust frontend merged with ~5x request throughput on preprocess-heavy workloads.

🦀 The Rust frontend is officially merged into vLLM! As GPUs get faster, the frontend has become a real share of CPU time. The new Rust frontend is a drop-in alternative to the Python API server — same engine, same ZMQ boundary. Opt in with VLLM_USE_RUST_FRONTEND=1. Early numbers: on a preprocess-heavy workload, ~837 req/s vs ~162 req/s for default Python — ~5x in a single process. A few design choices we're excited about: • Layered crates with clear boundaries • Stream-native pipeline — non-

John Carmack argues standard ReLU should pass the gradient at zero to allow zero-weight initialization where symmetry breaking isnt an issue.

It is easy enough to make your own, but I think standard relu should have been defined as passing the value at zero, so gradients flow backward through it, allowing some things to be zero weight initialized when symmetry breaking isn’t an issue.

Mollick highlights a major gap: no good productivity studies exist on autonomous coding tools that emerged after Dec 2025 (Claude Code, Codex).

We have, as far as I can tell, no good tests of the productivity impact of the autonomous coding tools that appeared starting in December 2025. Every paper out there is from prior to the Claude Code/Codex revolution. A huge gap in our knowledge about what is happening in coding at this moment.

Marcus warns S&P rule changes will force retirement funds into SpaceX stock via index funds, urges calling Congress.

and you, through stock index funds, and because of some recent rule changes, will basically be forced to buy this garbage. Elon’s about to take a big chunk of your retirement, and unless you call your congresspeople to stop the imminent S&P rule changes, there’s very little you can do about it.

Anthropic publishing an engineering blog on sandboxing agents to limit destructive actions as capabilities grow.

New on the Engineering Blog: The access and permissions we grant agents should evolve with their capabilities. In our own products, we set these parameters through sandboxing, which limits the scope of any potentially destructive actions. Read more: t.co/KfBKW8O9kP

Boris Cherny quotes a piece about AI models showing structures mirroring human neuroscience, evidence of introspection, and functional analogs of emotions, calling for moral discernment.

> … [W]e keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease. I don’t know what that means, but I think it warrants ongoing discernment. > We need more of the world—religious communities, civil society, scholars, governments, and indeed all people of good will … to take this seriously, to look closely
