Copy Fail is a Linux local-privilege escalation vulnerability that allows attackers to rewrite the cached contents of files on a Linux filesystem, enabling them to break out of a namespaced container and gain root access on the host. The vulnerability can be exploited by creating a pod with the necessary permissions and using the Copy Fail primitive to poison a shared lower-layer file, ...

Google Cloud suspended Railway's production account, causing an 8-hour platform-wide outage. Railway is making changes to prevent similar incidents, including removing Google Cloud dependencies and extending high availability database shards.
DISCORD Today we introduce Qwen3.7-Max, our latest proprietary model designed for the agent era. Qwen3.7-Max is built to be a versatile agent foundation — equally capable of writing and debugging code, automating office workflows, and sustaining autonomous execution across hundreds or thousands of steps. What sets Qwen3.7-Max apart is the breadth and depth of its agent capabilities. It excels ...
Blaise Pascal invented the first bus service in Paris in 1662, but it failed due to bad regulation. Stanislas Baudry successfully introduced the modern bus concept in Nantes in 1826, and his company eventually became the Parisian public transport operator RATP.
There are a few ways to attempt to parse a string into a number in the C standard library. They are ALL broken. Leaving aside the wide character versions, and staying with long (skipping int, long long or intmax_t, these variants all having the same problem) there are three ways I can think of: I’ll start by claiming a common sense “I know it when I see it”. The number that I see in the ...
RISC-V supports floating-point arithmetic through extensions like F, D, and Q, which provide single, double, and quadruple precision formats. The F extension is mandated for most other floating-point extensions, including half precision and vector floating-point support.
