В Chrome развивают возможность исправления ошибок без перезапуска браузера

Компания Google сообщила о намерении реализовать в Chrome механизм динамического применения патчей, позволяющий устранять уязвимости без необходимости полного перезапуска браузера. Идея в том чтобы вносить изменения на лету в исполняемые файлы и последовательно заменять дочерние процессы, такие как процессы отрисовки и взаимодействия с GPU.

New features in Terraform AzureRM 5.0

Terraform AzureRM provider 5.0 is a generally available major release that changes Azure Resource Provider registration, adds optional Azure preflight validation, and removes previously deprecated configuration surfaces. The upgrade can reduce unexpected subscription changes, but it can also break existing configurations and modules. Before adopting it, test a pinned version against a non-production Azure subscription and review the plan output.

Huawei пытается добавить в Mesa полупроприетатрный Vulkan-драйвер к своим GPU

Представитель компании Huawei сообщил о желании передать в состав Mesa новый драйвер к развиваемому данной компанией GPU. Проблема в том, что компания Huawei намерена лишь частично открыть проект - код Vulkan-драйвера на базе Mesa Vulkan Runtime и низкоуровневые компоненты, использующие промежуточное представление NIR, решено открыть, но бэкенд для трансляции промежуточного представления NIR в машинный код хотят поставлять в виде бинарного блоба, что бы не раскрывать информацию об архитектуре набор команд GPU (GPU ISA).

‍Security and AI expert dismisses concerns about autonomous AI hacking as exaggerated

Snehal Antani, CEO of Horizon3.ai, a cybersecurity firm that uses AI to autonomously probe organizations for real-world vulnerabilities, argues that claims of AI models destroying companies on their own are overstated. Currently, these systems perform well in controlled cyber range tests but face challenges against defended and deceptive production networks. Their limitations include greedy decision-making, poor adaptation in protected environments, overdependence on limited training data, and a tendency to interact with suspicious decoys even after recognizing them as traps. Nonetheless, the threat continues to grow as human hackers have access to virtually unlimited "AI interns" for uncovering vulnerabilities. Additionally, the rapid rise of vibe-coded applications and AI agents is expanding the pool of insecure systems vulnerable to attack.

Starling is a new Linux desktop built by AI in six months (and it shows)

Some Linux desktop environments were developed over decades, others in just a few years. Starling, which made the rounds online this week, claims to have been built by just one person in six months using – what else; it’s 2026 – AI coding tools. What’s more, a preview build is available as a .deb to install on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Yup, this isn’t a ChatGPT mockup but a real working demo. According to the project’s GitHub and website, a developer used AI to rewrite Flutter’s framework layer from Dart to Swift, but left its C++ rendering engine untouched. A traditional […]

Линус Торвальдс предложил противникам использования ИИ форкнуть Linux или уйти

15 июля 2026 года Линус Торвальдс жёстко высказался против попыток объявить разработку ядра Linux территорией, свободной от искусственного интеллекта. В сообщении в списке рассылки linux-media он заявил, что Linux «не относится к анти-ИИ-проектам», а несогласные с этим могут воспользоваться предоставляемой свободным ПО возможностью и создать собственное ответвление проекта — либо просто покинуть его. Письмо было отправлено 14 июля в 20:06 по тихоокеанскому времени, что соответствует 15 июля по UTC.
Спор возник в обсуждении возможной интеграции системы учёта патчей Patchwork с Sashiko — открытым агентным средством рецензирования изменений ядра Linux. Система отслеживает общедоступные списки рассылки, анализирует поступающие патчи при помощи языковых моделей и пытается обнаруживать архитектурные ошибки, проблемы безопасности, управления ресурсами и параллельного выполнения. Код Sashiko передан Linux Foundation и распространяется под Apache 2.0, а работу публичного сервиса и расходы на используемые модели оплачивает Google.
