Релиз языка программирования Nim 2.2.12 После четырёх месяцев разработки представлен релиз языка системного программирования Nim 2.2.12. Nim – статически типизированный компилируемый язык программирования с синтаксисом, вдохновлённым Python, и возможностями метапрограммирования на уровне Lisp. Язык компилируется в C, C++ и JavaScript, обеспечивая производительность на уровне C при выразительности высокоуровневых языков. Код проекта поставляется под лицензией MIT. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=66237

‍DirectX backend в LLVM получил статус официально поддерживаемой архитектурной цели В LLVM завершён перевод DirectX backend из экспериментального в официальный статус. Соответствующий pull request #214066 был влит в основную ветку llvm-project 31 августа. DirectX перенесён из LLVM_ALL_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS в обычный LLVM_ALL_TARGETS, поэтому теперь backend будет собираться по умолчанию вместе с другими штатными целями LLVM. Ранее для его включения требовалось явно добавлять DirectX через CMake-параметр LLVM_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS_TO_BUILD. В принятом изменении DirectX добавлен в стандартный список targets и удалён из экспериментального. Речь идёт не о реализации Direct3D или графическом драйвере. DirectX backend преобразует LLVM IR в DXIL — DirectX Intermediate Language, используемый DirectX 12 для представления скомпилированных шейдеров. Согласно документации LLVM, DXIL основан на bitcode старого LLVM 3.7, дополненного специфичными для DirectX операциями, ограничениями и метаданными. Результат помещается в контейнер DXContainer, содержащий DXIL и дополнительную информацию о шейдере.

The $200 Firefox mechanical keyboard sold out Love Firefox enough to drop $200 on a branded keyboard? Tough, it’s sold it. It’s a full-sized, 108-key mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX keys/switches, and has a unique keycap colour scheme and branding: a Firefox logo on the super/meta key and new Firefox mascot Kit on Esc. It works wired, via Bluetooth or 2.4g wireless. “Clean, clicky and finished in Firefox colors”, reads the Mozilla Store description, “this is a keyboard that looks good, feels better and sneaks in a little personality where you least expect it” (unaware the personality is exactly where one would expect it: on the keys).

Company makes money by removing AI guardrails to facilitate cyber attacks Abliteration AI is selling API access to a modified version of Z.AI’s GLM-5.3 that is designed to answer requests other models reject, including offensive cybersecurity and red-team tasks. The hosted service avoids distributing the altered model weights, but its low refusal rate also makes misuse easier while placing more responsibility on customers.

Qwen 3.8 27B exposes the RTX 5090’s inference-engine bottleneck Qwen 3.8 27B can fit on a single RTX 5090, but real-world performance depends more on the inference engine and context configuration than on the card’s 32 GB of VRAM. The same GPU can take roughly 30 minutes to produce a long-context response with llama.cpp, deliver about 20 tokens per second through a basic vLLM setup, or reach around 200 tokens per second with a more optimized engine.
