Just got my first performance patch merged into OpenJDK. ☕ It fuses separate multiply instructions on x86_64, yielding a ~1.85x speedup for 128-bit multiplication on the JVM. Big thanks to the reviewers who helped guide this through!

You can now run unsafe Rust code... on the JVM! I just shipped support for some basic unions (consisting of primitives and structs) to my project, rustc_codegen_jvm. Here's the test case that passes on CI JVM. Recently I also added support for function pointers and modules!
🧵Can electronics help with biological breakthroughs? I presented my Cryo-EM FPGA hardware accelerator project at #RegeneronISEF 2026 in Phoenix! It was such an awesome experience to meet so many like-minded students. I was honoured to come 2nd place in my category and get some special awards too.
Awesome Asahi progress update just posted by James, if you'd like to see what we've been up to recently! GPU stuff is SO fun and happy to answer any questions about it or anything M3. :) asahilinux.org/2026/02/prog...

On Apple M3, a Linux KDE plasma desktop under Fedora Asahi Remix is now WORKING! Super excited to share this update and happy to answer any questions! Co-credits to noopwafel and Shiz. :)
Just sent the Apple Silicon Power Supply driver I've been working hard on improving the last few days upstream to the main linux kernel, adding support for reading info about AC adapters and batteries, and modifying charge behaviour. Next upstreaming project is MTP! lore.kernel.org/asahi/202601...

Playing DOOM on Apple M3 under Linux. Have been working hard over the last month on Linux bringup for the M3 Mac line, currently working on SMC drivers. Making this Bluesky to share updates about my progress!
