Redis isn’t just a cache anymore. Sure, it still owns the in-memory speed game—with **key expiration**, **data persistence**, and **horizontal scaling** via **replication** and **clustering**. But if you're only using it to stash a few keys, you're missing the point. This thing handles **streams**,..

Running **open-weight LLMs locally on macOS**? This post breaks it down clean. It compares **llama.cpp**—great for tweaking things—to **LM Studio**, which trades control for simplicity. Covers what fits in memory, which quantized models to grab (hint: 4-bit GGUF), and what’s coming down the pipe: *..

Perl 5 has risen to **10th place in the TIOBE Index**, increasing in popularity even though the exact reason is unknown. Perl 6, or Raku, lags behind Perl 5 in rankings and has not seen the same rise in attention. Other top languages like C and Java have experienced slight falls in rankings...

A long-dead Linux kernel driver for QIC-80 tape drives just got dragged into the present—with help from **Claude Code** and a lot of tinkering. It now builds cleanly and runs as a **standalone module** on **Linux 6.8**, playing nice with modern setups like **Xubuntu 24.04**. **The bigger picture:**..

Vibe Coding lets developers create software by chatting with AI, skipping traditional coding. But the non-determinism of AI prompts poses significant risks for reliability and maintainability, potentially leading to addiction-like dependence on this new tool. Think twice before fully embracing this ..

A developer rolled their own AI server for $1.3K—Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, an Nvidia RTX GPU, and a sharp eye on Tensor cores, VRAM, and resale value. The rig handles small models locally and punts big jobs to the cloud when needed. Local-first, cloud-when-it-counts...

Fastly says95% of developersspend extra time fixing AI-written code. Senior engineers take the brunt. That overhead has even spawned a new gig: “vibe code cleanup specialist.” (Yes, seriously.) As teams lean harder on AI tools, reliability and security start to slide—unless someone steps in. The re..

In the “Month of AI Bugs,” researchers poked deep and found prompt injection holes bad enough to run **arbitrary code** on major AI coding tools—**GitHub Copilot**, **Amazon Q**, and **AWS Kiro** all flinched. They didn’t stop at theory. They built **AgentHopper**, a proof-of-concept AI virus that ..

LLMs generate text by predicting the next word using attention to capture context and MLP layers to store learned patterns. Mechanistic interpretability shows these models build circuits of attention and features, and tools like sparse autoencoders and attribution graphs help unpack superposition, r..

GitHub's biggest debates right now? Whether to shut down AI-generated "noise" fromCopilot—stuff like auto-written issues and code reviews. No clear answers from GitHub yet. Frustration is piling up. Some devs are ditching the platform altogether, shifting their projects toCodebergor spinning upself-..
