Companies that are collecting data need to ensure that the data is valid in order to actually make good use of it. And making sure they have the correct names in their database can help establish a good customer relationship by supporting a customer’s sense of identity. Think back to times when you’ve signed up … continue reading
Quantum computing has the potential to one day break today’s encryption algorithms, requiring a proactive approach to finding new and innovative ways to protect data that can withstand those upcoming capabilities. Last week, NIST announced the approval of three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that cannot be broken by a quantum computer. Here’s what leaders in the … continue reading
For quite some time, discussion around the dangers of deepfakes were mostly rooted in the hypothetical — focusing on the question of how these tools could be used to cause harm, rather than real-world instances of misuse. However, it wasn’t long before some of those fears became realities. In January, a number of New Hampshire … continue reading
Penpot is a tool designed to bridge the gap between designers and developers and provide more collaboration throughout the process. According to the project maintainers, there can be difficulty in handing off projects from designers to developers because they are often using different tools and the vision of the project may get lost along the … continue reading
CockroachDB has announced a change to its licensing model that will allow startups and smaller companies to use it for free, while still making money off the larger companies that can afford to pay for it. Previously, CockroachDB was available as a free Core version that was designed more for individuals and startups, and a … continue reading
In April 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released a draft publication aimed to provide guidance around secure software development practices for generative AI systems. In light of these requirements, software development teams should begin implementing a robust testing strategy to ensure they adhere to these new guidelines. Testing is a cornerstone of … continue reading
GitHub is rolling out a new feature to not only help developers find vulnerabilities, but fix them quickly. Copilot Autofix in GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) analyzes vulnerabilities, explains their importance, and offers suggestions on how to remediate them. “For developers who aren’t necessarily security experts, Copilot Autofix is like having the expertise of your security … continue reading
Codeium has announced a new AI assistant called Cortex that uses complex reasoning capabilities to solve difficult coding problems. Rather than enabling smaller, individual tasks such as autocomplete or code completion like existing code assistants, Cortex supports large scale reasoning, code generation, reviews, and knowledge transfer, with greater accuracy, lower latency, and reduced costs. According … continue reading
Anthropic has introduced a new feature to some of its Claude models that will allow developers to cut down on prompt costs and latency. Prompt caching allows users to cache frequently used context so that it can be used in future API calls. According to the company, by equipping the model with background knowledge and … continue reading
Infragistics has announced the latest release of its UX/UI platform, Infragistics Ultimate. The 24.1 release includes new features such as React code generation in App Builder, advanced Grids for major web frameworks, and better data visualizations. “Whether you’re a solo developer or part of a large digital product team, Infragistics Ultimate offers the tools you … continue reading
Google is trying to make its AI assistant Gemini more useful by adding a conversation mode called Gemini Live, similar to how conversations in ChatGPT work. Gemini Live has a voice mode, so that users can speak their questions out loud rather than typing. This voice mode works even when the app is in the … continue reading
Cars today are complex pieces of software. You’ve got the infotainment system connected to your phone. You’ve got the lane keep assist that lets you know when you’re starting to sway from your lane. You may even have a backup alert system that warns you that there’s a person walking near your car. So now, … continue reading
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced its first three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, which will be able to safeguard data even in the event that quantum computing advances to the point that today’s cryptography can be broken. “The official publication of these algorithms marks a crucial milestone to advancing the protection of … continue reading
The Linux Foundation is making it easier for developers to find open-source AI models by hosting the Open Model Initiative (OMI). The OMI was first launched earlier this summer by Invoke, CivitAI, and Comfy Org as a way to help creators find models that don’t have restrictive licenses. “From the beginning, we have believed that … continue reading
