This is a reference implementation for autonomous vulnerability discovery and remediation using Claude, which includes a lightweight SDK-only walkthrough and a managed option called Claude Security. The implementation provides a step-by-step guide to building a vulnerability finding pipeline, customizing the logic, and using it with various access to Claude APIs.
Researchers evaluated three projection sharing constraints in transformers, finding that sharing query, key, and value projections (Q-K=V) achieves comparable or better performance with 50% cache reduction in language modeling. This approach is complementary to head sharing, enabling up to 96.9% cache reduction for practical on-device inference.
Open Code Review is an AI-powered code review CLI tool that identifies code defects and generates structured review comments. It combines deterministic engineering with an agent for precise file selection and smart file bundling.
Cloudflare is acquiring VoidZero, the company behind Vite, but Vite will remain open source and vendor-agnostic. Cloudflare will invest $1 million in a Vite ecosystem fund to support maintainers and contributors.
What very interesting times we live in. On the one hand, we are about to make batteries out of sodium instead of lithium, and grow bones from sheep’s wool instead of punishing anyone with weakening bones with the worst pharmaceuticals in existence. On the other hand, Elon. On May 15 2026, Jose Luis Bautista, a 25-year-old contractor from Donna, Texas, was killed due to an improperly secured ...
The author, who wrote the book Ultralearning, is skeptical of dramatic proposals to reform schools because research consistently shows that direct instruction and practice are the most effective teaching methods. He believes that schools should focus on increasing efficiency and choosing what to learn, rather than trying to make education more like play or using technology to gamify learning.
South Korean government requires internet communities to scan user uploads with AI due to regulation changes. Small businesses face financial pressure to buy datacenter-grade Nvidia GPUs to implement the new requirement.
Blqsort is a fast sorting algorithm that uses branchless partitioning and custom sorting networks for small subsets. It can be used in C++ and C with multithreading support and is suitable for sorting custom data structures.
A Linux driver for the ASUS ZenVision lid OLED has been created, allowing users to display images, animations, and more on the 3.5" monochrome screen. The driver is open-source and can be used with the companion app zenvision-studio, with support for other ASUS lid-OLED models also possible.
Bloomberg's S&P Dow Jones Indices will keep existing eligibility requirements for main benchmarks. It rejects proposals to make it easier for large companies to join the S&P 500 Index after going public.
AI systems are rapidly accelerating their own development, with Anthropic's Claude model writing 80% of the company's code and improving at a rate of 3x per year. This trend points to a future where AI systems can fully design and develop their own successors.
Scientists discovered that queen bee cells are made of chemically engineered wax that helps future queens survive and develop. The wax's unique properties, such as lower density and higher melting temperature, play a crucial role in raising new queens.
Tokugawa Edo was a unique city where Japan's elites were concentrated and monitored, with a dual nature of being both the apex of society and a prison. The city's physical form was shaped by the government's need to control and monitor the population, resulting in a highly restricted and stratified urban environment.
KVarN delivers FP16-level accuracy with up to 4x KV-cache capacity and 1.3x throughput. It's a calibration-free, plug-and-play solution for vLLM with native attention backend.
As a technologist and parent, I'm choosing to share enriching aspects of technology with my kids by using physical media like CDs and DVDs, and setting up a home phone and computer with curated access to the internet.
31 May 2026Progress: Abandoned It's another obsessive post about timekeeping! Here I'll describe an abandoned project to build a "fake" GPS module that grabs the time over WiFi, to function as a drop-in replacement for the GPS breakout boards used on earlier versions of my Precision Clock. My mistake was being too ambitious, the almost impossible goal of getting ...
User connects JLink to Pinecil using a breakout board and female-to-female dupont wires. This setup allows for debugging with gdb using JLinkGDBServer and port 2331.
Researchers developed a framework to distill multi-agent debate into a single large language model, improving efficiency by up to 93% and matching performance. This internalization creates agent-specific subspaces, allowing for easier control of internalized reasoning behaviors.
CASTOR is a hierarchical storage management system developed at CERN for archiving physics data. It provides access protocols and manages data storage on disk and tape.
When creating a live ISO, tweaks or installed packages vanish after a reboot due to ISO9660 being a read-only filesystem. A common workaround is to use OverlayFS or create an ext4 partition and tell the live OS to use it during boot.
Run away while you still can, it's not too late for you to avoid the curse of knowledge.
Researchers propose Gaussian point splatting, a method to render Gaussian splats efficiently. It uses parallel programming and culling to render hundreds of millions of Gaussians in real time.

Zetta is building next-gen AI chips, seeking a technical powerhouse with expertise in digital design, RTL quality, and synthesis. The role offers a chance to shape revolutionary AI technology, work with the founding team, and own critical decisions.
The Bay Model is a working hydraulic scale model of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta System, located in Sausalito, California. It was built in 1957 to study proposed dam plans but is now open to the public for educational exhibits about Bay hydrology.
Following a meticulous course of conservation treatment, Eugène Delacroix’s Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople is returning to the Red Rooms, joining a number of other famous works by the artist. By restoring the piece’s colours to their original brilliance, once darkened by yellowed varnish, the conservators’ work has allowed its complex significance to shine through once more.
Merek is a desktop app for working with Amazon ECS, showing services across accounts and regions without collecting telemetry. It connects to AWS using existing credentials and allows for tasks such as deployment, cost estimation, and log inspection.
Artificial intelligence models are made of weights, not code, and they can hold conversations by multiplying numbers. They don't have a database or look up facts, but instead rebuild everything from scratch each time.
