A developer has created an example of C# code that compiles to a smaller WebAssembly (WASM) binary than a similar Rust code. The C# code, found on GitHub, was created by Zion Sati and uses the 'dotnet' CLI to compile it to WASM. The example shows a C# program running on the browser, demonstrating its WASM capabilities. The size of the compiled WASM binaries is compared between the C# and Rust code, with the C# code coming out smaller. This development suggests that C# may be a viable alternative for WASM development. The code is available on GitHub, and the discussion is ongoing on Hacker News.

Anthropic has proposed an AI safety bill that would require federal agencies to block a model's release if it could potentially cause harm to 50 or more people, but with a catch: the agency would need to get a judge's permission to do so. This effectively means that the protection against AI run amok may not be as robust as it seems, as a judge could potentially override the decision.
