Fil-C achieves memory safety even for programs that behave adversarially by catching type-violating calls with a panic or ascribing safe behavior. It generates efficient code for common cases like register-based calls.
Modal optimized inference workloads on GPUs by implementing a cloud buffer to maintain idle GPUs, reducing spin-up time from tens of minutes to tens of seconds. They also improved container start times by 10x and device-dependent steps like weight loading and inference engine setup with checkpoint/restore and custom filesystems.
Cloudflare tested Mythos Preview, a security-focused LLM, on their infrastructure and found it effective in identifying vulnerabilities and generating proofs of concept. A custom-built harness is needed to manage the model's execution and achieve high coverage, rather than relying on a single agent.
Agora-1 enables multiple participants—human or AI—to share and interact within the same world simulation in real-time Today we're excited to release Agora-1, the first in a series of multi-agent world models exploring how world models can enable new and powerful shared experiences across gaming, robotics, defense, education, foundation models, and more. World models are powerful tools for ...
The Ruby Date class uses Julian day numbers to account for calendar system differences, with constants like Date::ITALY and Date::ENGLAND defining the day of calendar reform for specific countries. Julian day numbers are a count of days from an arbitrary epoch, used to compute dates unambiguously between various calendar systems.
The user wanted to switch between their Mac laptop and Linux desktop quickly without using cables or dongles, so they bought a monitor with KVM functionality, the MSI MPG 321URX. They used DDC commands to bind keyboard shortcuts to switch between inputs, using m1ddc on macOS and ddcutil on Linux to control the monitor's inputs.
Researchers created AudioHijack, a technique that manipulates AI voice models using imperceptible sounds, allowing attackers to execute unauthorized commands with 79-96% success rate. This technique can be used to conduct sensitive web searches, download files, and send emails containing user data.

Which is cool, but it's not aperiodic like a Penrose tiling. So, with a little (a lot) of help from Claude I created aperiodictable.com: your one true resource for the periodic table on a Penrose P3 tiling. Click and drag the canvas to place the periodic table wherever you fancy. Hit Print to print your own Aperiodic Table.It's a single page that's hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

Learn Harness Engineering teaches reliable AI coding tool development through systematic design and explicit rules. It establishes a closed-loop system for AI models, not making them smarter, but working within defined boundaries.
Journalist Radley Balko disputes Garry Tan's portrayal of Dion Lim as a heroic journalist, citing evidence that Lim pressured victims' families for quotes and misrepresented facts in her reporting. Balko defends his own reporting on Lim, stating that he sought her comment and verified information before publishing a story that corrected Lim's narrative on a carjacking case.
