We successfully exploited two discontinued network devices at DistrictCon’s inaugural Junkyard competition in February, winning runner-up for Most Innovative Exploitation Technique. Our exploit chains demonstrate why end-of-life hardware poses persistent security risks.
GPT-5.1 is now available in the API, bringing faster adaptive reasoning, extended prompt caching, improved coding performance, and new apply_patch and shell tools.
We are proud to present the first 3 working applications developed with Castle Game Engine for the web! Check them out — just open the links below, in any web browser (Firefox, Chrome…)…
At AdaCore, we’re in the business of supporting people who develop high-integrity software, in particular for embedded systems. In terms of programming…
In many ways, America’s social safety net falls short of those of our liberal democratic peers, yet we have no shortage of policies intended to provide social protections. Why is that, and how can we fix it?
You can now sign up for ‘How to Solve It with Code’, which is a course in how to solve problems (including coding, writing, sysadmin, and research) using fast short iterations, and also provides a platform that makes this approach easier and more effective.
Why we still choose Ruby on Rails in 2025: Learn how Lago scales millions of API events with Rails, Go, and Rust, balancing developer speed, concurrency, and performance.
Carson Gross explores the Locality of Behaviour (LoB) principle, which emphasizes making the behavior of code units obvious on inspection to enhance maintainability. He discusses the tradeoffs between LoB and other software design principles like DRY and SoC, offering insights on balancing clarity, abstraction, and…
The soft robotic gripper developed at the U of A received a U.S. patent.
Your trusty Dependabot (and other GitHub bots) might be an unwitting accomplice. Through "Confused Deputy" attacks, they can be tricked into merging malicious code. This doesn't stop here. It can escalate to full command injection via crafted branch names and even bypass branch protection rules. Plus, we disclose two…
Run reproducible, immutable environments in Kubernetes without container images. Faster deploys, SBOMs-by-default, and zero drift with Flox.
TL;DR – Introducing voyage-code-3, our next-generation embedding model optimized for code retrieval. It outperforms OpenAI-v3-large and CodeSage-large by an average of 13.80% and 16.81% on a suite …
TL;DR: We discovered the hard way that when backtrace is enabled, the anyhow library is capturing a backtrace on every error. Only when printing this error in debug format!(”err: {:?}”, error) backtrace’s symbols are resolved to human-friendly names, thus leading to a significant memory increase for your application…
Open SWE is an open-source, cloud-hosted coding agent that autonomously handles GitHub tasks—planning, coding, testing, and opening PRs.
This year we are calling to FREE THE INTERNET. Your donation will help break the chains of censorship and surveillance. If you give now during the campaign, your donation will be matched by our supporters at Power Up Privacy. This means a $25 donation will have a $50 impact.
AF MORTEN BUSCH Kønskromosomerne giver normalt svaret på om du er kvinde eller mand. Kvinder har XX. Mænd XY. En lille gruppe af kvinder er dog rent genetisk mænd. De vokser op som kvinder med en kvindes krop, og de fleste opdager først langt inde i puberteten, at de er anderledes. Nu har danske forskere […]

SynthID is a tool to watermark and identify AI-generated content, helping to foster transparency and trust in generative AI.
When recognizing faces and emotions, artificial intelligence (AI) can be biased, like classifying white people as happier than people from other racial backgrounds. This happens because the data used to train the AI contained a disproportionate number of happy white faces, leading it to correlate race with emotional…
The Besenval Palace in Solothurn opened the museum « Der Kleine Prinz und seine Welt » dedicated to the Little Prince through the collection of Jean-Marc Probst.
Testing code fidelity with TLA+ specs at MongoDB. Explore conformance checking experiences and agile modelling in distributed systems.
The OpenSearch Software Foundation today announced the general availability of OpenSearch 3.0. This major release delivers a 9.5x performance improvement over OpenSearch 1.3, building on benchmarking data that showed earlier iterations of OpenSearch operating 1.6x faster than its closest industry competitor.
We introduce PaperBench, a benchmark evaluating the ability of AI agents to replicate state-of-the-art AI research.
