How we made our AI code reviewer stop being so noisy I’m Paul, cofounder of cubic —an "AI-native GitHub." One of our core features is an AI code review agent that performs an initial review pass, catching bugs, anti-patterns, duplicated code, and similar issues in pull requests. When we first released this agent back in April, the main feedback we got was straightforward: it was too noisy.

AMD demo shows procedural generation cutting VRAM usage from 35GB to 51KB

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-08-28 05:51:00

Why it matters: Managing graphics memory has become one of the most pressing challenges facing the realm of real-time 3D rendering. As visuals become more detailed, the amount of VRAM required for modern high-end games is pushing against what average customers can afford. AMD and Nvidia are currently developing remedies to the issue, which involve shifting certain rendering tasks from memory to the GPU. A new research paper from AMD explains how procedurally generating certain 3D objects in rea

“Maybe you could organize your plants like this,” my friend’s text message said, with an attached photo of white pots of plants floating midair in front of a huge, sunny window. As a newbie plant collector, I do need to organize my growing collection of flora, but not like this — the photo was AI-generated and the plants depicted were not real.
