In a recent article, C++ expert and ISO C++ Committee Chair Herb Sutter expressed his views about what it takes to make C++ a safe language in the guise of Rust and other memory-safe languages (MSLs). His recipes include relying on tooling, as is the case with other MSLs, promoting safe language features, pushing unsafe features behind compiler flags, and more.
Sutter’s starting point is the recognition of the importance of C++ becoming substantially safer by addressing the four main memory safety-related vulnerability categories. In fact, out of a total of twelve memory safety-related categories, accounting for about 70% of all CVEs, four of them root in out-of-bounds reads, out-of-bounds writes, null pointer dereference, and accessing freed memory.

The GNU Portability Library for common portability code across platforms has seen a major rewrite to gnulib-tool, the program for importing modules from gnulib into their packages. This code rewrite of gnulib-tool is said to offer between eight and 100 times faster performance than the existing implementation.
The original gnulib-tool program is a shell script implementation for importing of Gnulib modules into programs for enhancing code portability. Several GNU developers have been rewriting gnulib-tool in Python rather than the shell scripts in order to address criticism of the slow performance.

A recent change was announced to the NetBSD commit guidelines which amends these to state that code which was generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) or similar technologies, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot or Meta’s Code Llama is presumed to be tainted code. This amendment was to the existing section about tainted code, which originally referred to any code that was not written directly by the person committing the code, and was due to licensing concerns. The obvious reason behind this is that otherwise code may be copied into the NetBSD codebase which may have been licensed under an incompatible (or proprietary) license.
Recently the company currently in charge of the Winamp media player – formerly Radionomy, now Llama Group – announced that it will be making the source code of the player ‘available to developers’. Although the peanut gallery immediately seemed to have jumped to the conclusion that this meant that the source would be made available to all on the announced 24 September 2024 date, reading between the lines of the press release gives a different impression.

Tiobe on julkaissut toukokuun listansa suosituimmista ohjelmointikielistä. Listan kärjessä lähes kaikki on ennallaan, mutta sijalta kymmenen löytyy todellinen yllättäjä. IBM:n vuonna 1957 esittelemä Fortran on noussut pitkän tauon jälkeen Tioben top10-listalle.
Tämä on yllättänyt myös Tiobe-listan ylläpitäjät. Esimerkiksi haku “Fortran-ohjelmointi” sai yli 1000 osumaa Amazonissa, joka on kirjojen johtava yritys. Uudet hienot kielet, kuten Kotlin ja Rust, osuivat tuskin 300 kirjaan samalla hakukyselyllä.
Pääsyy Fortranin ylösnousemukseen on numeerisen/matemaattisen laskennan kasvavasta merkityksestä. Vaikka tähän on kehitetty monia kilpailevia kieliä, Fortranilla on omat kiistattomat etunsa.
Esimerkiksi suosituin kieli eli Python on hidas. MATLAB on erittäin helppokäyttöinen matemaattiseen laskemiseen, mutta se edellyttää kalliita lisenssimaksuja. C ja C++ ovat suosittuja ja nopeita, mutta niillä ei ole natiivia tukea matemaattiseen laskentaan.
Kymmenien mahdollisten kielten joukossa Fortran näyttää olevan nopea, sillä on natiivi matemaattinen laskentatuki, kypsä ja ilmainen. Lisäksi kieli kehittyy edelleen. Alle puoli vuotta sitten julkaistiin uusi ISO Fortran 2023 -versio.
Managing and deploying Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems has recently become a significant challenge, especially when moving from experimental setups to production environments. While tools like Langchain and LlamaIndex offer convenient abstractions for initial development and prototyping, they often need to catch up regarding modularity, scalability, and extensibility required for production. As a result, organizations need help ensuring their RAG components are efficiently organized and production-ready.
Current solutions for building RAG systems typically involve using Jupyter Notebooks for experimentation. However, these setups often need more structure and flexibility for a robust production environment.
The memory footprint of the key-value (KV) cache can be a bottleneck when serving large language models (LLMs), as it scales proportionally with both sequence length and batch size. This overhead limits batch sizes for long sequences and necessitates costly techniques like offloading when on-device memory is scarce. Furthermore, the ability to persistently store and retrieve KV caches over extended periods is desirable to avoid redundant computations. However, the size of the KV cache directly impacts the cost and feasibility of storing and retrieving these persistent caches. As LLM applications increasingly demand longer input sequences, the memory requirements of the KV cache have become a critical consideration in designing efficient transformer-based language models.
Stop Running Tests With Your CI/CD Tool
A look at six specific needs of a successful test-automation strategy and how relying on CI/CD tools can send you into the testing swamp of no return. https://thenewstack.io/stop-running-tests-with-your-ci-cd-tool/
With the performance of modern CPU cores plateauing recently, the main performance gains are with multiple cores and multithreaded applications. Typically, a fast GPU is only so mind-bogglingly quick because thousands of cores operate in parallel on the same set of tasks. So, it would seem prudent for our applications to try to code in a multithreaded fashion to take advantage of this parallelism. Or so it would seem, but as [Marc Brooker] illustrates, it’s not as simple as one would assume, and it’s very easy to end up with far worse overall performance and no easy way to fix it.
Markdown has become an extremely popular way to document source code and other projects, thanks in no small part to how well web-based services like GitHub render it. Just sprinkle a few extra characters into a regular text file, and all the sudden it looks like you know what you’re doing. Unfortunately, there are some places where markdown won’t actually render, and you’ll be stuck looking at those extra characters.
But thanks to MarCLIdown, the terminal doesn’t have to be one of those places. Written by [NihaAlGhul], this simple tool takes a given markdown file and spits out a fairly impressive rendering — and you don’t even need to have one of those fancy new GPU-accelerated terminals. Most impressively, the whole thing is implemented as a single Bash script.
