5G in edge computing: Benefits, applications and challenges
Most telecom experts agree that the future of 5G technology lies in edge computing, in which 5G wireless networks with distributed computing resources are placed near the “edge” of the network or close to where data is generated. The goal of 5G edge computing is to reduce latencies or delays so that organizations can […]
Read MoreOpenAI launches Aardvark to detect and patch hidden bugs in code
By embedding itself directly into the development pipeline, Aardvark aims to turn security from a post-development concern into a continuous safeguard that evolves with the software itself, Jain added. From code semantics to validated patches What makes Aardvark unique, OpenAI noted, is its combination of reasoning, automation, and verification. Rather than simply highlighting potential vulnerabilities, […]
Read MoreRun Azure DevOps on premises
Once triggered, a pipeline behaves as a staged series of jobs. You can have multiple stages in a pipeline, for example, building code, then running tests, and finally deploying it. Each stage has multiple jobs, which are handed over to external applications, for example, using Microsoft’s build tools to compile Windows code. The pipeline collates […]
Read MoreGitHub launches Agent HQ to bring order to AI-powered coding
“This architecture preserves GitHub’s core primitives (e.g., Git, pull requests, CI/CD) while enabling diverse agents to collaborate seamlessly under a common governance model,” said Biswajeet Mahapatra, principal analyst at Forrester. “By supporting multi-agent interoperability and avoiding proprietary silos, Agent HQ reduces dependence on any single vendor.” Others noted that the broader AI ecosystem is now […]
Read MoreIt takes an AWS outage to prioritize diversification
The AWS outage is part of a broader pattern of instability common to centralized systems. Today, Amazon controls about 30% of the market, followed by Microsoft at 20% and Google at 13%. The dominance of these three providers creates a fragile digital ecosystem. When a hyperscaler stumbles, whether due to a technical glitch, misconfiguration, or […]
Read MoreMaximizing speed: How continuous batching unlocks unprecedented LLM throughput
Why old-school batching just doesn’t cut it To handle multiple users at once, LLM systems bundle requests together. It’s a classic move. The problem? The classic ways of doing it fall apart with the unpredictable, free-flowing nature of language. Imagine you’re at a coffee shop with a group of friends. The barista says, “I’ll make […]

Python 3.14 is here, and it’s bursting with goodies! Plus, Rust is making it easier to redistribute Python apps, PDM is simplifying Python package management, and Java is challenging Python for developing AI applications. Top picks for Python readers on InfoWorld The best new features and fixes in Python 3.14Welcome to the biggest new Python […]
Read MoreThe day the cloud went dark
AWS responded quickly, rolling back changes and isolating affected components. Communications from AWS Support, while timely, were predictably technical and lacked specifics as the crisis developed. Issues with autoscaling, load balancing, and traffic routing caused downstream effects on seemingly unrelated services. It’s a reminder that, despite the focus on “resilience” and “availability zones,” cloud infrastructure […]
Read MoreOpenAI seeks to automate ‘computer use’ for Macs in the enterprise
While AI bots have begun mastering tasks in browsers and on Windows, Mac-using enterprises have largely been overlooked, until now. OpenAI aims to change that with its acquisition of generative AI interface maker Software Applications Incorporated. The base of this integration is Sky, a generative AI-based, natural language-input compatible assistant for macOS that the San […]
Read MoreUsing the SkiaSharp graphics library in .NET
With the canvas in place, you’re able to use SkiaSharp’s drawing primitives to add common shapes, like circles or rectangles. Other options support features like anti-aliasing, smoothing curves as needed. SkiaSharp has its own coordinate system, which may differ from that used by your choice of framework. It uses pixel-based measurements, so you will need […]
