Elasto Mania Ported to WebAssembly

The classic physics-based motorcycle game Elasto Mania has been ported to run in web browsers via WebAssembly, allowing players to play the original game online without any downloads or plugins.

Background

- **Elasto Mania** is a cult-classic 2D motorcycle physics game from 2000 (by Balázs Rózsa, Finnish studio Damp Gnu). Known for its extremely precise, loose-jointed bike physics and a notoriously difficult level editor, it remains beloved by a niche speedrunning and modding community. - **WebAssembly (Wasm)** is a binary instruction format that lets compiled languages (C/C++, Rust) run in web browsers at near-native speed. This port means Elasto Mania can now be played in a browser tab without installing the original executable or using a compatibility layer. - The port was done using **Emscripten** (a compiler toolchain that turns C/C++ into Wasm) and wraps the original 2000-era x86 binary logic for the web. It likely uses SDL for input/audio mapping and a canvas element for rendering. - This matters because Elasto Mania’s source code was never officially released, making preservation and accessibility difficult. A working Wasm port—especially one that runs inside a browser—significantly lowers the barrier for new players and ensures the game remains playable on modern operating systems that cannot run the original .exe.

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
