Material Theme has been pulled from VS Code's marketplace

"A member of the community did a deep security analysis of the extension and found multiple red flags that indicate malicious intent and reported this to us.

Our security researchers at Microsoft confirmed this claims and found additional suspicious code.

We banned the publisher from the VS Marketplace and removed all of their extensions and uninstalled from all VS Code instances that have this extension running.

For clarity - the removal had nothing to do about copyright/licenses, only about potential malicious intent."

Reasoning models lack atomic thoughts -unlike humans using independent units, they store full histories.

Atom of Thoughts (AOT): lifts gpt-4o-mini to 80.6% F1 on HotpotQA, surpassing o3-mini and DeepSeek-R1

Really interesting idea to dramatically reduce token size and improve model intelligence.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-port/

Microsoft released an official native port of the TypeScript compiler and tooling. The native implementation will drastically improve editor startup, reduce most build times by 10x, and substantially reduce memory usage.

Written in Go and available here:

https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go


"…using the Visual Studio Code codebase as a benchmark, the current time to load the entire project in the editor on a fast computer is about 9.6 seconds. This drops down to about 1.2 seconds with the native language service, an 8x improvement in project load time in editor scenarios."
