Whether she actually pays or not is another matter. The main thing for Prossimo was to make a fuss that the current rav1d implementation was only 5% slower, so that the general public would think that the language was the same in speed.

ZDNET It's easy to overlook a simple habit that can give your iPhone a real performance boost: clearing browser cache. Cache is the temporary storage of files -- like images, scripts, and cookies -- that apps and websites save to help them load faster. Over time, those files pile up in your browser, eating into your phone storage and slowing everything down. A quick cache clear is all it takes to free up space, speed up page loads, and even resolve occasional glitches. And it only takes a coup

What the research is: Kangaroo is a new flash cache that enables more efficient caching of tiny objects (objects that are ~100 bytes or less) and overcomes the challenges presented by existing flash cache designs. Since Kangaroo is implemented within CacheLib, Facebook’s open source caching engine, developers can use Kangaroo through CacheLib’s API to build their own customized cache services. We partnered with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on this research. The resulting paper won the Best

Muscle Memory muscle-mem is a behavior cache for AI agents. It is a Python SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. The goal of muscle-mem is to get LLMs out of the hotpath for repetitive tasks, increasing speed, reducing variability, and eliminating token costs for the many cases that could have just been a

It's built for speed and proves to me, on a daily basis, how superior it is in terms of speed and reliability. That doesn't mean it's perfect.

This will enable the JIT compiler to generate native code immediately upon application startup, rather than having to wait for profiles to be collected.

As programmers, one of our main jobs is to reason about algorithms and put them to use. And one of the tools we use for this task is complexity analysis. Measured in “Big O” notation, an algorithm’s complexity gives us a rough idea of how quickly it performs in the face of different input sizes. For example, we learn that inserting an item into the middle of a linked list is a constant time (O(1)) operation, while inserting into the middle of an array is done in linear time (O(n)), since we must
