tsbro TypeScript for the Browser. No tooling, no build step, simply works. TypeScript is still second-class citizen with regards to browser adoption, there is a proposal to fix that, but until then we have to use tooling, bundlers, build steps that are an impediment for when you want to quickly create a short demo or PoC. There are ways to run TypeScript code but it can't import other files or make use of remote packages. tsbro solves this by completely bypassing the browser's import system u

What would a birthday celebration be without cake? Well in the web world, cakes have a very special place. There's a long-standing tradition among browser makers of sending cakes to each other to mark major milestones.

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b
