GitHub – dillstead/elf_injector: Injects code into an ELF file
Injects a relocatable code chunk of arbitrary size into an ELF executable that will run before the original entry point of the executable. NOTE: The code can only build and run on a 32-bit ARM processor as it contains a mix of C and assembly. Build elf_injector: ~/elf_injector $ make all gcc -Werror -std=gnu99 -fno-builtin…
TikTok Researchers Introduce SWE-Perf: The First Benchmark for Repository-Level Code Performance Optimization
Introduction As large language models (LLMs) advance in software engineering tasks—ranging from code generation to bug fixing—performance optimization remains an elusive frontier, especially at the repository level. To bridge this gap, researchers from TikTok and collaborating institutions have introduced SWE-Perf—the first benchmark specifically designed to evaluate the ability of LLMs to optimize code performance in…
Can AI really code? Study maps the roadblocks to autonomous software engineering
Imagine a future where artificial intelligence quietly shoulders the drudgery of software development: refactoring tangled code, migrating legacy systems, and hunting down race conditions, so that human engineers can devote themselves to architecture, design, and the genuinely novel problems still beyond a machine’s reach. Recent advances appear to have nudged that future tantalizingly close, but…
This “smart coach” helps LLMs switch between text and code
Large language models (LLMs) excel at using textual reasoning to understand the context of a document and provide a logical answer about its contents. But these same LLMs often struggle to correctly answer even the simplest math problems. Textual reasoning is usually a less-than-ideal way to deliberate over computational or algorithmic tasks. While some LLMs…
Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K2: A Trillion-Parameter MoE Model Focused on Long Context, Code, Reasoning, and Agentic Behavior
Kimi K2, launched by Moonshot AI in July 2025, is a purpose-built, open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model—1 trillion total parameters, with 32 billion active parameters per token. It’s trained using the custom MuonClip optimizer on 15.5 trillion tokens, achieving stable training at this unprecedented scale without the typical instabilities seen in ultra-large models. Unlike traditional chatbots, K2 is architected…
A Code Implementation for Designing Intelligent Multi-Agent Workflows with the BeeAI Framework
BeeAI FrameworkIn this tutorial, we explore the power and flexibility of the beeai-framework by building a fully functional multi-agent system from the ground up. We walk through the essential components, custom agents, tools, memory management, and event monitoring, to show how BeeAI simplifies the development of intelligent, cooperative agents. Along the way, we demonstrate how…
What is a Message Authentication Code (MAC)? How it Works and Best Practices | Definition from TechT
A message authentication code (MAC) is a cryptographic checksum applied to a message to guarantee its integrity and authenticity. A MAC is used in network communications to confirm that a message is indeed coming from the stated sender and has not been changed. MACs are useful for protecting data, preventing impersonation and detecting message tampering….
Why AI code assistants need a security reality check – Help Net Security
In this Help Net Security interview, Silviu Asandei, Security Specialist and Security Governance at Sonar, discusses how AI code assistants are transforming development workflows and impacting security. He explains how these tools can boost productivity but may also propagate vulnerabilities if not properly reviewed. What security risks do AI code assistants pose that developers and…
Building AI-Powered Applications Using the Plan → Files → Code Workflow in TinyDev
In this tutorial, we introduce TinyDev class implementation, a minimal yet powerful AI code generation tool that utilizes the Gemini API to transform simple app ideas into comprehensive, structured applications. Designed to run effortlessly in Notebook, TinyDev follows a clean three-phase workflow—Plan → Files → Code—to ensure consistency, functionality, and modular design. Whether building a…
The real value isn’t in the code – Jon Ayre
Time is money, money is value Okay, I’ll admit that calling your software worthless was a shameless clickbait tactic. However, I will assert that it’s not as valuable or indispensable as you might think it is. You need two things to solve a problem using software, skill and time. Skill. Of course, you can create…
