I asked Astra to create a Catan game in three.js and it came out incredibly well.
I played it, and the animations make it so much fun. The instructions and info cards make the game easy to learn. It even has AI players and trading.
Astra used another game I had started building as a reference. The more games I build, the more skills and assets I have for the next one. It can remix the UI, 3D models, pages, and sounds instead of rebuilding everything.
Now I want to see how many other board games I can make from this foundation.
Re-shoot an existing video from a new angle 🤯
Truly insane work from @theworldlabs, this new model is a game-changer.
The initial clip was filmed with three cell phones on tripods - the model reconstructed a full view of the scene to reframe the video.
@RBrzoska@Meta Mi zawiesili miesiąc temu grupę z pół miliona obserwujących… po odwołaniu przywrócili ale wpadła w jakiś bug i nie jest przywrócona. Sprawdziłem wszelkie możliwe opcje i nie ma jak się skontaktować z nimi teraz. Parodia.
How to explain someone after witnessing full sun eclipse that it’s not about half or extended amount of cover… the real spectacle is only at total eclipse and no words can explain that feeling. Spain 2026! 🇪🇸☀️

Postgres 19 handles traffic spikes the way infrastructure should.
Not with one fixed I/O pool sized for an imaginary average day.
But dynamically.
→ Traffic spikes
→ The I/O queue grows
→ PostgreSQL notices
→ More workers launch
→ The queue clears
→ Extra workers disappear when demand drops
No manual intervention.
No permanent overprovisioning.
No tiny worker pool choking under production traffic.
PostgreSQL is becoming infrastructure that adapts instead of infrastructure you babysit.

PostgreSQL 19 just got much faster!
It introduces performance improvements across the entire database engine:
→ Up to 2× faster INSERTs with foreign key checks
→ Faster sorting with radix sort
→ Dynamic I/O workers that scale with demand
→ Faster parallel sequential scans
→ Parallel autovacuum
→ Better anti-joins and incremental sorts
→ Eager aggregation that processes fewer rows
→ Faster GIN and hash index cleanup
Fast Postgres → @postgresrun
No single feature makes every PostgreSQL workload dramatically faster.

Last week the team shipped Managed Queues on Laravel Cloud - one of our most requested features, and, since I love queues, a project I was deeply invested in.
When we started, Laravel Vapor's queues were our north star: we wanted that "it just works" feeling, but without the limitations of running on Lambda.
And we wanted to go further. We paired that hands-off Vapor experience with the kind of deep insights and observability you'd reach for Laravel Horizon to get - all built natively into Laravel Cloud.
You get queues that just work and you actually get to see what they're doing. I'm really happy with where we landed, and this is just the beginning.

🚨 THE ENTIRE AI BOOM MIGHT BE BUILT ON FAKE REVENUE.
Latest corporate filings show that OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up over half of the entire $2 trillion future cloud backlog held by Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and Amazon.
This massive pipeline is actually being created through a circular accounting trick called a round trip revenue loop.
But how it works ?
A tech giant gives billions of dollars to an AI startup as an "investment". But hidden in the contract is a strict rule forcing the startup to hand that exact same money straight back to the tech giant to rent their computer servers.
Look at the documented case of Microsoft and OpenAI.
When Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it didn't just give them cash; it gave them "cloud credits" to use Microsoft servers. OpenAI used those exact credits to train its AI models, and Microsoft then turned around and recorded that server usage as brand new "cloud revenue" from a customer.
The tech giant is literally paying itself with its own money and calling it a sale.
This is why OpenAI’s annual cloud bill has ballooned to over $60 billion, double its actual revenue of $25 billion, kept alive solely by this recycled funding loop.
Anthropic runs the exact same play, spending $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in just nine months, which was basically 100% of all the money it earned at the time.
This manufactured demand triggers a second accounting trick where tech giants book massive paper profits. Every time a startup gets a higher value from a new funding round, the tech giant updates the value of its investment on its books and counts that unearned paper gain as direct profit.
In Q1 2026, Alphabet reported a record $62.6 billion profit, but $28.7 billion nearly half, was just a paper markup on its Anthropic investment. In the same quarter, Amazon reported $30.3 billion in profit, but $16.8 billion of it was just an Anthropic paper gain.
While Amazon reported record profits, its actual free cash flow collapsed 95% to just $1.2 billion because it had to spend $44.2 billion in real cash to build physical data centers.
This has created a massive danger where these giant companies rely heavily on just one or two unstable startups. Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion future backlog tied to OpenAI, while Oracle has an incredible 54% of its entire $553 billion pipeline relying on OpenAI alone.
This perfectly mirrors the 2001 dot-com crash when Global Crossing and Qwest Communications swapped identical fiber-optic network capacity with each other just to book fake sales.
Qwest had to erase $1.4 billion in fake income, and Global Crossing went completely bankrupt.
The only difference is that the dot-com swaps were illegal, but today's AI loop is fully legal under current accounting rules.
This legal loop inflates tech company stock prices, forcing automatic retirement accounts and index funds to buy even more of these tech stocks. It is a self feeding loop where investments, sales, and stock prices all go up on paper without the AI technology ever making real cash profits.
PHP developers used to have limited options for building AI agents: learn Python, or accept that raw API calls were as far as you'd get.
The Laravel AI SDK changed that.
Agents, tools, memory, streaming, vector search, and multi-agent workflows. All in Laravel, and all first-party.

Ruben completely rewrote TypeScript Transformer, and v3 looks very nice.
It feels much more like a bridge between PHP and TypeScript now, instead of a one-way code generator.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
