3 new to Paramount+ movies you need to stream this weekend (Aug. 7-9)

This weekend, stream Paramount+ for three new movies: "Blade Runner 2049," "From Dusk Till Dawn," and "The Score."

"Blade Runner 2049" is a science fiction sequel set thirty years after the original. Ryan Gosling plays LAPD Officer K, a replicant tasked with hunting down rogue replicants. The movie delves into a conspiracy with vast implications. Connect with the film for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative, making it a must-see classic.

"From Dusk Till Dawn" is a crime action-horror movie featuring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino. Seth Gecko, a bank robber played by Clooney, teams up with his brother, played by Tarantino, after a heist gone wrong. They seek refuge in a desert strip club overrun by vampires. The film offers a thrilling ride, combining Tarantino's unique style with a deeper storyline.

Finally, "The Score" is a heist thriller starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Marlon Brando, and Angela Bassett. De Niro plays Nick Wells, a retired safe cracker willing to take on one last job. He agrees to help Jack Teller, played by Norton, steal a priceless sceptre. With a star-studded cast, "The Score" promises an engaging and action-packed cinematic experience.

Rust SIMD Just Came to the GPU — and It Changes How We Think About Parallel Programming

For decades, GPU programming has meant one of two things: writing CUDA kernels in C++ or wrestling with OpenCL. Both require you to think in a fundamentally different paradigm than CPU programming.

  • Rust SIMD now works natively on GPUs, bridging decades-long programming gap
  • VectorWare's GPU runtime enables SIMD code to run without modifications
  • Same Rust code can run on x86 CPUs, ARM devices, and GPUs with single codebase

Porting a Python PEG parser to Rust in 72 hours, and actually proving it worked

There's a joke that every Rust project starts with someone saying "we should rewrite this in Rust" and ends four weekends later with a half-finished repo and a lot of new opinions about lifetimes.

  • Team ported parsimonious Python PEG parser to Rust in 72 hours for Port Mortem 2026 hackathon
  • Rust parser achieved 23x performance increase over original Python parser
  • Optimized Rust parser used 6.7 MB memory vs. 13 MB, with 0.016 ms peak latency
