Heavy storms are battering Catalonia, prompting several schools to close and some residents to be told to stay indoors. Regional authorities have sent multiple ES-Alert emergency phone warnings and are urging the public to take precautions as the severe weather continues. Weather coverage is drawing wide attention in Spain as the temporal disrupts daily life.
- 2Minigraf launches as embedded bi-temporal graph database in Rust●Show HN: Minigraf – An embedded, bi-temporal graph database in Rust
A new open-source project called Minigraf is drawing attention on Hacker News. It is an embedded graph database written in Rust with bi-temporal support, meaning it can track both when events occurred and when they were recorded. Being embedded means it runs inside an application rather than as a separate server. Commenters are examining its design and potential use cases.
- 3Conference paper links video game The Longing to medieval time●Last paper of # MAMG26 day one! Jéssica Iolanda Costa Bispo argues that the real-time temporality of The Longing (2020)
At the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference, day one closed with a paper by Jéssica Iolanda Costa Bispo arguing that The Longing (2020), with its unusual real-time temporality, reflects medieval Western notions of time and meditation in a way few games can. Delegates shared the presentation online, highlighting it as a standout from the opening day.
- 4A curiosity about temporal logic led one engineer into AI automation●About eight months ago, I found myself deep in a rabbit hole that started innocently enough: I was reading a paper on te
An engineer describes spending the past eight months down a research rabbit hole that began with a paper on temporal logic constraints for drone flight paths, and evolved into exploration of agentic AI, quantum computing and automation software. The personal account is drawing interest from readers following the fast-moving AI and automation conversation.

A developer has built an open-source Telegram bot that uses Google's Gemma model running locally to read and understand bills, then sends persistent reminders through Temporal's durable workflow system until the bill is paid. Sentry is used for agent tracing without exposing bill data. The project is part of a weekend coding challenge and is being shared openly with the developer community.

A new study published in Current Biology reports that the macaque inferior temporal cortex encodes object position in perceptually aligned coordinates, while current artificial vision networks do not. The finding suggests a fundamental gap between primate visual processing and modern computer vision models, and is drawing attention among neuroscience and AI researchers interested in how biological and artificial perception differ.
- 7AWS launches Dogwood Local Engine for AI agent governance▼Introducing the Dogwood Local Engine: temporal governance for agent actions
Amazon Web Services has introduced the Dogwood Local Engine, a tool providing temporal governance for actions taken by software agents. The offering is aimed at controlling when and how autonomous agents operate, giving developers a way to manage agent behaviour over time. Details on availability and pricing have not yet been widely reported.
