A coding agent was used to optimize the performance of the llama.cpp neural network model, resulting in a 15% speedup on x86 and 5% speedup on ARM. The agent's success was due to its ability to read papers and study competing projects before writing code, allowing it to identify optimizations that code-only agents would miss.

Child safety is a complex problem that includes online grooming, sextortion, child sex trafficking, victim identification, and survivor support, with CSAM detection being a critical piece. Perceptual hashing and machine learning classifiers are used to detect CSAM, with perceptual hashing being used for known material and machine learning classifiers being used for unknown material, including ...
Druids is a library that coordinates and deploys coding agents across machines, abstracting away infrastructure and communication. It allows users to define programs with agents, events, and controlled steps to automate tasks like code review and pentesting.
The homebrew community allows individuals to create and run their own games on the Nintendo DS without needing official development contracts or equipment, using devices like passthroughs and NoPass devices to bypass copy protection. To get started, one should choose a Slot-1 device, such as the R4DS, M3 Real, or Cyclo DS Evolution, which supports DLDI and can run homebrew software from a microSD card.
This post assumes a basic familiarity with the user-facing aspects of Google's open-source protobuffer suite. In short, protobuffer allows you to define a set of messages which you would like to exchange using a simple DSL in a .proto file. Using this description, the protoc compiler (or a number of alternative implementations) can generate encoders and decoders for these messages in a ...
Maine lawmakers passed a bill temporarily blocking large data centers due to concerns over electricity costs and grid strain. The move may lead to higher costs for AI services if other states follow suit.
This project is an experimental WebGPU physics prototype using AVBD solver for rigid-body and soft-body physics. It's an initial proof of concept with limited browser support and requires further updates for stability and ease of use.
The English language has lost many personal pronouns over the centuries, including the dual form "wit" which referred to two people, due to simplification and changes in social and political norms.
