Memory optimizations to reduce CPU costs

Imagine that you are given the following task, with a file like this: Name,Department,Salary,JoinDate John Smith,Marketing,75000,2023-01-15 Alice Johnson,Finance,82000,2022-06-22 Bob Lee,Sales,68000,2024-03-10 Emma Davis,HR,71000,2021-09-01 You want to turn that into a single list of all the terms in the (potentially very large) file. In other words, you want to turn it into something like this: [ { "term" : "Name" , "position" : 0 , "length" : 4 } , { "term" : "Department" , "position" : 5

Apple study shows LLMs also benefit from the oldest productivity trick in the book

In a new study co-authored by Apple researchers, an open-source large language model (LLM) saw big performance improvements after being told to check its own work by using one simple productivity trick. Here are the details. A bit of context After an LLM is trained, its quality is usually refined further through a post-training step known as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). With RLHF, every time a model gives an answer, human labelers can either give it a thumbs up, which re

New AI attack hides data-theft prompts in downscaled images

Researchers have developed a novel attack that steals user data by injecting malicious prompts in images processed by AI systems before delivering them to a large language model. The method relies on full-resolution images that carry instructions invisible to the human eye but become apparent when the image quality is lowered through resampling algorithms. Developed by Trail of Bits researchers Kikimora Morozova and Suha Sabi Hussain, the attack builds upon a theory presented in a 2020 USENIX

Fenster: Most minimal cross-platform GUI library

Fenster Fenster /ˈfɛnstɐ/ -- a German word for "window". This library provides the most minimal and highly opinionated way to display a cross-platform 2D canvas. If you remember Borland BGI or drawing things in QBASIC or INT 10h - you know what I mean. As a nice bonus you also get cross-platform keyboard/mouse input and audio playback in only a few lines of code. What it does for you Single application window of given size with a title.

Something Extremely Scary Happens When Advanced AI Tries to Give Medical Advice to Real World Patients

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Last week, Google AI pioneer Jad Tarifi sparked controversy when he told Business Insider that it no longer makes sense to get a medical degree — since, in his telling, artificial intelligence will render such an education obsolete by the time you're a practicing doctor. Companies have long touted the tech as a way to free up the time of overworked doctors and even aid them in specialized skills, including scanning medical imagery for tumors. Hospitals ha

Pokemon TCG Pocket's Next Set Showcases Johto's Rarest Legendaries

The Legendary Beasts from the second generation of Pokemon games are roaring into the digital card game Pokemon TCG Pocket when its next mini-expansion, Secluded Springs, is released on Aug. 28. The smaller subset of digital cards supplements the recent Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion, which focused on the rare Pokemon Ho-Oh and Lugia. (Older fans may remember them from the box art of Pokemon Gold and Silver, released all the way back in 1999.) While the official list of digital cards in the se

MagSafe Monday: Want a no‑nonsense car mount that keeps your air vents clear?

If you want a simple car mount that works with MagSafe and doesn’t take over your air vents, your choices are pretty limited. The Statik HyperMount Vacuum Car Mount is a great choice. It sticks to your dash or windshield, holds tight, and doesn’t budge even on bumpy roads and around corners.

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance. It was more of a thank you to the fans who st

WIRED Might Have Found a New Best Bag in the World

A confession: I love my bags. A few years ago, I became convinced I'd found the best bag in the world. Now, however, I may well have a contender for that coveted spot. It is the Mountain Cross Bag from Topo Designs, and in just the two months I've been using it, this versatile carrier has become completely indispensable to me. WIRED readers will be familiar with Topo; they make our fave Global Briefcase design, but personally it's just a touch too large for me. If we're going to start throwing

Building the mouse Logitech won't make

Building the Mouse Logitech Won't Make My absolute favorite mouse is the MX Ergo from Logitech. It's a trackball mouse with a good number of buttons and a comfortable, ergonomic tilt. It clicked with me as soon as I tried it, and I've been using one since they came out back in 2017. However, it's not without its issues. There are 3 main areas where the sheen of perfection wears off: It uses a micro-USB port to charge. The switches are a little loud and clicky. The software is bloated. After

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Singalong Version Starts Streaming Today

Why I'm Now Running Enterprise AI on My Laptop (Without Internet)

Beyond the Cloud: Why I’m Now Running Enterprise AI on My Laptop (Without Internet) Klaudi 6 min read · 1 hour ago 1 hour ago -- Listen Share For years, I’ve been skeptical of the AI revolution. Not because I don’t believe in its potential, but because the how always felt broken. The promise of “AI for everyone” came with a hidden cost: my data, my privacy, and my wallet. Every time I used a cloud based AI service, I’d ask myself: Where is my data going? Who owns it? How much will this cost me

My favorite iOS 26 feature is something Android has had for years

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The year is 2015. You plug your Android phone in to charge, and a helpful little timer tells you how long it should take. You pop on an episode of Narcos. Life is good. Your friend with an iPhone? Yeah, they plug in their phone too, waiting to fill their tiny, well-optimized cell. The difference? They have no idea how long it’ll take. Fast-forward to early 2025. You plug in your Pixel 9a and limit its charging to 80% of capacity to preserve battery health. Your

Apple’s F1 movie tops $600m at worldwide box office, surpassing all expectations

Apple’s big box office bet continues to break records for the company, with F1: The Movie now breaking another milestone this weekend, topping $600 million at the worldwide box office. This figure beats even the most optimistic expectations ahead of release, which cost Apple about $250 million to make. The film hit buy or rent video on demand on Friday, but a streaming date on Apple TV+ has not yet been announced. In the film, Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) comes out of retirement to help mentor an u

IBM and NASA Develop a Digital Twin of the Sun to Predict Future Solar Storms

The Sun’s most complex mysteries could soon be solved thanks to artificial intelligence. On August 20, IBM and NASA announced the launch of Surya, a foundation model for the sun. Having been trained on large datasets of solar activity, this AI tool aims to deepen humanity’s understanding of solar weather and accurately predict solar flares—bursts of electromagnetic radiation emitted by our star that threaten both astronauts in orbit and communications infrastructure on Earth.

Pro by Déesse Pro Review: Mostly a Gimmick

Wearing the Pro by Déesse Pro is like cosplaying the Phantom of the Opera—if the Phantom had better LED coverage and $1,700 to spare. With 770 lights, six treatment modes, and four wavelengths, it looks like the most advanced LED mask on the market. But after six weeks of consistent use, I wouldn't recommend it. It's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and delivers results that are far less impressive than its theatrics. Missing the Basics Courtesy of Déesse Pro The Pro is a hard-shell LED mask wit

In-Memory Filesystems in Rust

In-memory Filesystems in Rust I’ve been working on a CLI tool recently, and one of the things it does is manage files on disk. I have written a lot of file management tests for Bundler, and the two biggest reasons that the Bundler test suite is slow are exec and fstat . Knowing that, I thought I would try to get out ahead of the slow file stat problem by using an in-memory filesystem for testing. A collaborator mentioned being happy with the Go package named Afero for this purpose, and so I se

Elon Musk says xAI has open sourced Grok 2.5

In Brief Elon Musk’s xAI has made an older version of its AI model Grok — specifically, the model weights used to shape Grok 2.5 — available on the open source platform Hugging Face. “The @xAI Grok 2.5 model, which was our best model last year, is now open source,” Musk wrote on X. He added that Grok 3 “will be made open source in about 6 months.” AI engineer Tim Kellogg described the Grok license as “custom with some anti-competitive terms.” Grok, which is prominently featured on X (which i
