Checked out the The Malaysian AI Show and Tell yesterday.
Very happy to see people are building cool stuff

Just letting you know that the Department of Environment (DOE) has banned Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports from being downloaded because of “national security” reasons.
This means rural, coastal & indigenous communities will have the hardest time assessing EIAs.

Stripe obsesses over API design. For Stripe Sessions we turned our well-worn API design principles into an app that reviews your API for $2.
We liked it so much we’re making it public for 30 days.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

Something that can be done relatively quickly in WPKL that encourages more people to take public transport, especially on the busiest bus corridors:
Fully separated, enforced, all-day bus lanes
How to improve bus stops and pedestrian access?
Future congestion charge
[1/2]
ALT Map of Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur showing possible bus lane network Green: Enforced bus lanes separated (as far as possible) from mixed traffic. These are in force every day until end of service hours and cover the absolutely busiest corridors like Jalan Klang Lama, Jalan Ampang, and Jalan Genting Klang Yellow: Enforced bus lanes separated (as far as possible) from mixed traffic. These are in force during weekday peak hours and are in less busy parts like Sentul Red: Allows personal vehicles to merge or make turns as needed. Enforced during peak hours. These are to connect otherwise disconnected bus lanes like between Brickfields and Jalan Klang Lama, and Cheras to Pudu

The funniest thing about TurboQuant is that not only is none of it new, every part of what we've implemented is very old. We are just rediscovering tricks video game developers had to use in the 90s.
FWHT decorrelation → DCT in JPEG/MPEG decorrelation
Lloyd-Max 16-centroid codebook → 256-color palette (VQ codebook)
Norm + quantized unit vector → Quake's norm vector table
128-elm blocks with 4-bit indices → S3 texture compression
ADC lookup table (VecInfer) → Dot-product LUTs for lighting
Per-block scale factor → ADPCM audio (scale per block + quantized residuals)

Meet Ibrahim Arief. A top-tier Indonesian engineer involved with some of the nation's best-known tech unicorns. Now he's under arrest, awaiting trial in a politicized case that's deeply hurting Indonesia's reputation. His story is distressing. 1/6
Seeing everyone geek out over n8n and I can’t help but wondering if the AI hype is how we finally get everyone automating their workflows (99% of which don’t need AI) and unlock the gains RPA was promising all this time 🤣
Probably “hot” take: If the vibecoders provided an engineer with as detailed of a description as the prompt they lovingly crafted for Lovable / Bolt etc, they’d get a well-implemented feature as well.
The problem has always been vagueness / undefined scope.
Congrats to @StatsMalaysia and Govtech Nucleus Unit ( github.com/govtechmy ) for the good work on data.gov.my and open.dosm.gov.my that has pushed Malaysia up to 1st in global rankings on open data 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉

I often rant about how so much of cloud is a rip-off, but @Cloudflare is the exact opposite. I keep thinking we're getting away with robbery: So much utility, such small bills. @eastdakota has cracked some magic code! 🤘

"What Third Eye Open does best is create a haunting yet beautiful atmosphere, the game's paper cut out style combined its haunting sound track evokes a sense of melancholy and wonder"

.@KLCCConvention “amazing” policy not allowing exhibitors for #LevelUpPlay to set up their booths on the day before the exhibition due to footwear. It’s clear y’all care more about people’s feet than their games🦶🦶🦶

"As a Malaysian, the game’s depictions of Ting’s home, neighborhood streets, and local markets resonate deeply with me, capturing the essence of life in early 2000s Malaysia."
That's exactly what we were trying to invoke in the game. Thanks so much for the lovely review 👏🙌
Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open stands out with its rich cultural elements and unique plot, providing a fresh and engaging experience for gamers, while also offering a rare portrayal of Malaysia in video games.
