In the age of GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini and all the rest, one of the most-used AI coding assistants is still the venerable IntelliCode feature of Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, whose six-year-old tech now seems positively ancient. If it works, don't AI it

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published research looking into 172 key open-source projects and whether they are susceptible to memory flaws. But that's OK - they have plenty of eyes looking at them

Hopefully they'll fix this by then (of course, what they break doing that fix is yet to be discovered)

Microsoft no longer plans to include a new eventing framework in .NET 9.0 – expected late this year – following complaints that it could damage the third-party ecosystem OnFeatureDelayed();

Hmm tangentially related because it's at the tail end of the article...
.NET 9 is adding Tensor things. That's good, but I don't think people will undertake serious work with it running on CPUs. I think we can expect some kind of lighter-weight DirectX 'bridge' into the .NET framework? It's going to need some kind of relatively easy way to interface with a GPU.
Maybe they'll just tell you to go get DirectX but AFAIK the linuxsphere just goes OpenGL/Vulcan with DX being mostly an exclusive win platform thing.

Running AI models without floating point matrix math could mean far less power consumption. Unfortunately, no one can be told what matrix multiplication is. You have to create the dot product yourself.

My gut says if they've done that (it says yet-to-be-peer-reviewed) then they've probably found a better way of doing matmul but are maybe focused on its being different rather than its being the same.

that could be a good thing... they will now have to do things correctly because they are fully integer
