Description: SSH tunnel manager.
What we like: Makes it easy to open, persist, and list SSH tunnels. No need to remember SSH argument ordering. Supports TCP and sockets, including a reverse SOCKS5 proxy. Configurable via TOML.
What we dislike: Nothing - does the job well.
-
đ Console.dev newsletter Datatype rss
Description: Charts as a font.
What we like: Render charts using a font so it doesnât require any other dependencies (no JS, no images). Available via Google Fonts or as a self-hosted font. Font appears in-line with text. Variable font so you can configure density and weight - resizes like any normal font.
What we dislike: Only supports bar charts, sparklines, and pie charts.

đ Ampcode News npm Package Changes rss
We're now shipping the Amp CLI as a single-file executable (compiled by Bun) instead of as a JavaScript source package. This makes Amp faster and more compatible across platforms and runtimes, and it's necessary to support Amp plugins.
If you're using the recommended direct installation, nothing changes for you. You've been using this single-file executable for several months. You can stop reading here.
If you've installed Amp via npm, you should switch to direct installation:
npm uninstall -g @sourcegraph/amp curl -fsSL https://ampcode.com/install.sh | bash(See all installation methods.)
If you need to keep using npm to install Amp, usually because your company has an internal npm mirror/archive, be aware of some changes:
- The CLI's npm package will now contain the executable instead of sources.
- We're renaming 2 npm packages:
- The Amp CLI is now
@ampcode/cli(was@sourcegraph/amp) - The Amp TypeScript SDK is now
@ampcode/sdk(was@sourcegraph/amp-sdk)
- The Amp CLI is now
The old package names are aliases but will be removed on June 15, 2026.

đ r/york Weird interaction at Monks Cross subway rss
So I ordered a pizza half and someone started making it. When it got passed to the second employee, i noticed him but just cheese on then put it in the oven. I thought I must have missed him putting on the sauce (surely?). But when I got it (a friend paid hence I didnât get time to check first), I checked at the counter and there was visibly no sauce. I asked about the sauce and the guy lied and said they didnât make it with sauce and it was just cheese and bread. My friend said âlike a cheese toastie?â And he said yes?? When I pointed to the board and showed him that the menu said marinara sauce and I insisted at other subways they made it with sauce, he reluctantly admitted he lied because they had no sauce. I was confused why he lied. When I made the order, they could have just said they didnât have any. Even half way through making it he could have said there was none and it would have been fine. Itâs the fact that I (almost) argued back and forth about whether the pizza subs came with sauce. I thought I was going crazy. Like 1) he said it came with no sauce and thatâs how subway makes them 2) that they are just cheese on bread 3) didnât really respond when I insisted Iâve had them elsewhere with sauce and 4) only admitted it when I pointed at the menu. It was quite shocking that he just kept lying to our faces, i guess hoping weâd just leave. I wasnât trying to be argumentative, I was just utterly confused as to what was happening. The guy offered us ketchup but at that point we didnât want to eat there. And no other staff stepped in, even though they were among it. Kind of understandable in work place, but with no back up I felt crazy. We had to firmly refuse the food and ask for a refund (only on the pizzas btw). They luckily refunded us, but it was so weird. I have tried to contact subway twice about this but Iâve never had a response. I donât want to complain about the lack of sauce (thatâs fine) but having a fully grown (not a teenager) guy try to gaslight me into believing there was never sauce on the pizza subs is bizarre. Has anyone else had something like this happen?
TLDR: subway workers tried to gaslight me into thinking the Margherita pizza sub didnât come with marinara sauce.

đ r/Leeds Abandoned Festival Foods in Osmondthorpe đ„ rss
Festival House, located in Osmondthorpe, east Leeds, was built in the 1930s and has had many uses in its life. It was originally the laundry for the Leeds Industrial Cooperative Society (LICS) and was constructed in the early 1920s, later becoming Festival Foods Ltd in 1955 which produced food hampers and ice cream. The front was constructed in a striking red-brick Art Deco style. Festival Foods closed its doors in 2020 and since then the building has stood derelict, becoming a blight on the landscape in a mainly residential area. Plans to redevelop the site into a mix of 56 one and two-bed apartments has been put forward but as of May 2026 nothing has gone ahead.

đ r/LocalLLaMA Web-Search is coming to a screeching performance halt as Google shuts down their free search index, and traffic defenders like Cloudflare challenge AI at every gateway. What are our options? rss
Google is closing its free tier to just 50 domains for site-specific search, and an inheritance date of January 1st, 2027, with no public pricing being listed for advanced searches. Cloudflare's new site-default is to challenge all AI bots attempting to scrape web-information for all their customers, including now with a recent partnership all domains hosted by Go-Daddy.
Some of you may have felt it over the last few months, web searches that used to be more effective are now closing with 400 errors from every site your harness attempts to reach. Local models may lose efficacy as their internet pulling capabilities are crushed.
Make no mistake, Google is reinforcing their mote by pulling up the drawbridge for aggressive pricing. This is a direct attempt to close in on the open-host sphere by crippling reliance infrastructure.
As a community, what options do we have at our disposal? Are there any open- projects currently attacking this status quo? Filling this gap will likely be the next big "open" project to hit the market, as solutions to this issue will likely become dependencies as we progress down harness improvement.

I've been a member at the Harrogate David Lloyd now since 2021, but now I'm looking at leaving the club as I feel like its now becoming too expensive for what it is (jacuzzi, sauna and steam room breaking down a lot) and the gym area not being the best. I've had a shop around for new gym memberships basically. A colleague of mine has told me that the Majestic hotel is a good place to go for the spa, gym and the pool - and its also right near where I live too. Is it worth the money?

đ sacha chua :: living an awesome life Trying out Kanata for one-shot modifiers and home row mods on Linux rss
Prot is a fan of one-shot modifiers. I started experimenting with them using keyd, but now I've moved to using kanata based on his recommendation. I also want to experiment with home row mods so that I can hold down:
forjfor shiftdorkfor controlsorlfor alt- or
aor;for super.
(Based on QWERTY home row, although Xmodmap translates it to Dvorak, where my home row keys are aoeu and htns.)
Here's my config:
(defcfg process-unmapped-keys yes ) (defsrc grv 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = bspc tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] \ caps a s d f g h j k l ; ' ret lsft z x c v b n m , . / rsft lctl lmet lalt spc ralt rmet rctl ) ;; define values for tap time and hold time (defvar tap-time 100 hold-time 200 ) ;; alias definitions (defalias a (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time a lmeta) s (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time s lalt) d (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time d lctrl) f (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time f lshift) j (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time j rshift) k (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time k rctrl) l (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time l ralt) ; (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time ; rmeta) osshift (one-shot 60000 lshift) osctrl (one-shot 60000 lctrl) osalt (one-shot 60000 lalt) osralt (one-shot 60000 ralt) osmeta (one-shot 60000 lmet) ) (deflayer base grv 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = bspc tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] \ @osctrl @a @s @d @f g h @j @k @l @; ' ret @osshift z x c v b n m , . / @osshift @osctrl @osmeta @osalt spc @osralt _ @osctrl )I followed the systemd instructions, so things should be loaded when I restart. To reload my config, I use
C-c C-v C-t(org-babel-tangle) and then callsystemctl --user restart kanata.service". Or actually, I have an Org Mode link of the form[[elisp:(progn (org-babel-tangle) (shell-command "systemctl --user restart kanata.service"))][Update config]]so I can just activate the link and have my new definitions loaded.

đ joxeankoret/diaphora Diaphora 3.4 release
This Diaphora release fixes a myriad of bugs, integrates multiple PRs, adds real support for integrating Diaphora as a true IDA plugin (this is the last version that will have support for running it just as a script), and adds support for installing it via HCLI.
The following is the whole list of changes:
MISC: Increase version number to 3.4. MISC: Add installation instructions using the Hex-Rays plugin manager (hcli). MISC: Add ida-plugin.json descriptor so Diaphora can be installed via the plugin manager. It still works from 7.4 to 9.4, by the way... MISC: Updated IDAMagicStrings to version 1.2.0. MISC: Replaced the dozens of hardcoded column names with a single FUNCTION_FIELDS tuple used by create_function_dictionary() and get_function_dictionary(). MISC: Removed all pylint directives, they were not used at all. MISC: Added HACKING.md with the project's coding style guide and tips for adding new SQL heuristics. EXTRAS: New unified IDA plugin diaphora_plugin.py exposing every Diaphora action. CORE: Multiple refactorizations to the horribly-terribly big method CIDABinDiff.read_function(). CORE: Refactorization of the code handling diffing of assembly, microcode, and pseudo-code. CORE: Refactorization of the code for loading and importing databases, plus the "import all" path. CORE: Refactored various graph-diffing functions, simplified them, and removed dead or redundant code. CORE: Replaced imp.load_source with a more modern approach (imp is gone from recent Python versions). CORE: Check whether Diaphora is running in GUI or text mode before trying to import Qt; QT components are no longer imported in non-GUI runs. CONFIG: Default SQLITE_JOURNAL_MODE is now WAL, which causes far fewer problems for people running Diaphora on IDA databases stored on network shares (don't ask me). GUI: Load the appropriate QT version matching IDA version (PyQt5 or PySide6). BUG: Fixed issues #200, #324, #335 and #350. -

lundi 4
J'ai discutĂ© des finances avec ma sĆur qui habite aux Pays-Bas. Elle ne peut pas virer l'argent des Philippines aux Pays-Bas, donc je dois l'aider.
J'ai emmenĂ© ma fille Ă son cours de gymnastique. Ăa lui a plu.
mardi 5
Ma fille Ă©tait trĂšs fiĂšre d'avoir rĂ©ussi Ă faire deux prĂ©sentations alors que quelques camarades de classe n'Ă©taient pas prĂȘts Ă passer.
Nous avons commencé à travailler sur un maillot-robe pour ma fille. Il n'y avait pas de patron de couture pour son dessin, donc j'ai fait un prototype à partir des chutes de tissu de sa longue robe de bain d'il y a quelques années.
à mon grand soulagement, le virement bancaire a réussi. Il paraßt que Wise peut m'aider à virer l'argent des Philippines au Canada.
mercredi 6
Mon mari, ma fille, et moi sommes allés chez la cardiologue, qui était trÚs loin : à presque deux heures de métro et de bus pour le trajet aller. Ma fille s'ennuyait beaucoup, mais elle voulait traiter ses palpitations, donc elle a fait l'effort. AprÚs cela, nous avons acheté des récompenses au supermarché à proximité. Elle a choisi une petite bouteille de yaourt à boire.
J'ai emmenĂ© ma fille et son amie au parc pour jouer. Il y avait un garçon qui les embĂȘtait et qui Ă©tait trop jeune pour qu'on puisse le raisonner, alors j'ai dĂ» utiliser ma Voix de Maman pour qu'il arrĂȘte.
jeudi 7
J'ai été ravie de discuter d'Emacs avec Shae Erisson, qui a une expérience intéressante avec les claviers et la programmation sur Emacs.
J'ai travaillé sur la revue des captures d'écran de ma conversation avec John Wiegley et Karthik Chikmagalur. J'ai écrit des fonctions pour identifier les rectangles grùce à l'outil Tesseract OCR. J'ai aussi utilisé les expressions réguliÚres pour masquer des coordonnées GPS et d'autres secrets.
Je suis allée chez une nouvelle hygiéniste pour un nettoyage. J'étais ravie que la réceptionniste et l'hygiéniste aient porté des masques N95 et que la salle de traitement ait une porte fermée.
J'ai discutĂ© des finances de ma mĂšre avec la responsable du studio. J'ai dĂ» m'en occuper parce que ma mĂšre n'est pas capable de gĂ©rer ses finances elle-mĂȘme.
vendredi 8
Je viens de commencer à regarder Astérix et Obélix sur Netflix. J'aimais bien les bandes dessinées quand j'étais petite.
AprÚs l'école, j'ai emmené ma fille au Stockyards pour acheter de l'élastique chez Fabric Fabric pour son maillot-robe. Nous avons aussi cherché des chaussures chez The Shoe Company, Children's Place, Old Navy et Walmart, mais elle n'a rien trouvé qui lui ait plu.
Ensuite, nous avons travaillé sur son maillot-robe.
Pendant que nous regardions PokĂ©mon, j'ai remarquĂ© que mĂȘme Jessie a montrĂ© une belle Ă©volution. Ma fille m'a demandĂ© si je faisais pareil. Je n'ai pas compris, donc je lui ai demandĂ© ce qu'elle voulait dire. Elle est partie grincheuse. Je ne sais pas, mais je ne peux pas lire dans ses pensĂ©es.
Sur Stardew, j'ai plantĂ© le reste des fraises et j'ai engagĂ© le service Ridgeside Odd Jobs pour arroser toutes les plantes dehors. J'ai attendu l'amĂ©lioration de ma poĂȘle pour terminer le dernier paquet parce que nous jouions avec les mods Stardew Valley Expanded (qui demande une friandise) et Love of Cooking (qui demande l'amĂ©lioration pour augmenter la limite du nombre d'aliments).
samedi 9
Mon mari, ma fille et moi sommes allés au centre-ville pour le Science Rendezvous, un festival scientifique. Ma fille s'est beaucoup amusée. Elle a aimé peindre avec des plantes en utilisant des peintures dérivées du curcuma, des betteraves, des épinards, et du chou rouge. Elle s'est aussi intéressée aux bulles qui contiennent du dioxyde de carbone provenant de la neige carbonique.
Sur le chemin du retour, ma fille et moi sommes passées à la pùtisserie chinoise pour des petits pains.
dimanche 10
Ma fille m'a rĂ©veillĂ©e et elle m'a donnĂ© une carte de fĂȘte des MĂšres. Elle a aussi prĂ©parĂ© une omelette de 6 Ćufs pour que l'on se rĂ©gale.
Mon mari a amélioré mon bureau. Il a coupé une autre étagÚre et il l'a attachée à mon bureau comme plateau. C'était trÚs pratique. Maintenant je peux placer plus de choses sur mon bureau.
Sur Stardew Valley, ma fille et moi nous sommes amusées à explorer la Caverne du Crùne. Elle a oublié d'apporter de la nourriture, donc je lui ai donné plusieurs fromages.

đ r/LocalLLaMA TextGen is now a native desktop app. Open-source alternative to LM Studio (formerly text-generation-webui). rss
| Hi all, I have been making a lot of updates to my project, and I wanted to share them here. TextGen (previously text-generation-webui, also known as my username oobabooga or ooba) has been in development since December 2022, before LLaMa and llama.cpp existed. In the last two months, the project has evolved from a web UI to a no-install desktop app for Windows, Linux, and macOS with a polished UI. I have created a very minimal and elegant Electron integration for that. (Did you know LM Studio is also a web UI running over Electron? Not sure many people know that.) https://preview.redd.it/tk8oibhgjw0h1.png?width=1686&format=png&auto=webp&s=95c70f769766466885c8fdc6e7211525a371a920 It works like this:- You download a portable build from the releases page
- Unzip it
- Double-click textgen
- A window appears
There is no installation, and no files are ever created outside the extracted folder. It's fully self-contained. All your chat histories and settings are stored in a
user_datafolder shipped with the build. There are builds for CUDA, Vulkan, CPU-only, Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), and ROCm. Some differentiating features:- Full privacy. Unlike LM Studio, it doesn't phone home on every launch with your OS, CPU architecture, app version, and inference backend choices. Zero outbound requests.
- ik_llama.cpp builds (LM Studio and Ollama only ship vanilla llama.cpp). ik_llama.cpp has new quant types like IQ4_KS and IQ5_KS with SOTA quantization accuracy.
- Built-in web search via the
ddgsPython library, either through tool-calling with the built-inweb_searchtool (works flawlessly with Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4), or through an "Activate web search" checkbox that fetches search results as text attachments. - Tool-calling support through 3 options: single-file .py tools (very easy to create your own custom functions), HTTP MCP servers, and stdio MCP servers. You can enable confirmations so that each tool call shows up with approve/reject buttons before it executes. I have written a guide here.
- The ability to create custom characters for casual chats, in addition to regular instruction-following conversations:
- OpenAI and Anthropic compliant API with very strict spec compliance. It works with Claude Code : you can load a model and run
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5000 claudeand it will work. - Accurate PDF text extraction using the
PyMuPDFPython library. trafilaturafor web page fetching, which strips navigation and boilerplate from pages, saving a lot of tokens on agentic tool loops.- Chat templates are rendered through Python's Jinja2 library, which works for templates where llama.cpp's C++ reimplementation of jinja sometimes crashes.
I write this as a passion project/hobby. It's free and open source (AGPLv3) as always: https://github.com/oobabooga/textgen submitted by /u/oobabooga4

đ Project Zero A 0-click exploit chain for the Pixel 10: When a Door Closes, a Window Opens rss
We recently published an exploit chain for the Google Pixel 9 that demonstrated it was possible to go from a zero-click context to root on Android in just two exploits. The Dolby 0-click vulnerability existed across all of Android, until it was patched in January 2026. While we had an exploit chain for the Pixel 9, we wanted to see if it was possible to write a similar exploit chain for Pixel 10.
Updating the Dolby Exploit
Altering our exploit for CVE-2025-54957 was fairly straightforward. The majority of needed changes involved updating offsets calculated for the specific version of the library we targeted on the Pixel 9 to similar offsets in the library for Pixel 10. The only challenge (outside of wishing weâd better documented which syncframes contained offsets) was that the Pixel 10 uses RET PAC in the place of
-fstack-protector, which meant that__stack_chk_failwasnât available to be overwritten by code. After a bit of trial and error, we useddap_cpdp_init, initialization code that can be overwritten without causing functional problems, as it is called once when the decoder is initialized and never again. The updated Dolby UDC exploit is available here. This exploit will only work on unpatched devices (SPL December 2025 or earlier).Removal of BigWave, Addition of VPU
Porting the local privilege escalation link of the chain to Pixel 10 was not feasible as the BigWave driver does not ship on this device. However, a new driver is visible in the mediacodec SELinux context at /dev/vpu. This driver is used for interacting with the Chips&Media Wave677DV silicon on the Tensor G5 chip meant for accelerating video decoding. Based on the comments within the open-source C files, this driver is developed and maintained by the same set of developers who built the BigWave driver. Working in collaboration with Jann Horn, we spent 2 hours auditing this VPU driver and discovered an exceptional vulnerability.
Unlike the upstream Linux driver for WAVE521C (which is an older Chips&Media chip), the Pixel driver for WAVE677DV does not integrate with V4L2 (the âVideo for Linux APIâ); instead, it directly exposes the chipâs hardware interface to userspace, including letting userspace map the chipâs MMIO register interface. The driver mainly establishes device memory mappings, does power management, and allows userspace to wait for interrupts from the chip.
The Holy Grail of Kernel Vulnerabilities
This bug in particular caught our attention as exceptionally simple to exploit:
static int vpu_mmap(struct file *fp, struct vm_area_struct *vm) { unsigned long pfn; struct vpu_core *core = container_of(fp->f_inode->i_cdev, struct vpu_core, cdev); vm_flags_set(vm, VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP); /* This is a CSRs mapping, use pgprot_device */ vm->vm_page_prot = pgprot_device(vm->vm_page_prot); pfn = core->paddr >> PAGE_SHIFT; return remap_pfn_range(vm, vm->vm_start, pfn, vm->vm_end-vm->vm_start, vm->vm_page_prot) ? -EAGAIN : 0; }This mmap handler is intended to be used in order to map the MMIO register region of the VPU hardware into the userland virtual address space - a region contained within a certain physical memory address range. In doing so, it makes a call to remap_pfn_range based purely on the size of the VMA and not at all bounded to the size of this register region. This means that, by specifying a size larger than the register region in an mmap syscall, the caller can map as much physical memory as they want into userland, starting at the physical address of the VPU register region. The entirety of the kernel image (including .text, and .data region) is located at a higher physical address than the VPU register region, and can therefore be accessed and modified by userspace with this bug.
At this point, one can simply overwrite any kernel function to gain kernel code execution - or indeed any primitive one might desire. This is rendered even easier by the fact that the kernel is always at the same physical address on Pixel and so the offset between the VPU memory region and the kernel is always a known value. Thus it is not even necessary to scan for the kernel in the mapped physical memory - you simply know exactly where it is relative to the address returned by mmap, presuming you make the VMA length large enough.
Achieving arbitrary read-write on the kernel with this vulnerability required 5 lines of code and writing a full exploit for this issue required less than a day of effort.
Patch Process
I reported this bug on November 24, 2025 and Android VRP rated the issue High severity. This is an improvement, given that the BigWave bug we used for privilege escalation on the Pixel 9 (which had identical security impact) was initially rated as Moderate severity. This represents a meaningful and positive change in posture regarding how these types of bugs are triaged and patched. The vulnerability was patched 71 days after its initial report, in the February Pixel security bulletin. This is notably fast given that this is the first time that an Android driver bug I reported was patched within 90 days of the vendor first learning about the vulnerability.
Conclusion
There are both positives and negatives to take from this research. A key goal of Project Zero is to drive systemic improvements that go beyond individual bug fixes, influencing better development processes and more resilient codebases that lead to improvements in security for end-users. The handling of this VPU vulnerability demonstrates clear progress in Androidâs triage pipeline, as this bug had an initial remediation in a much shorter period of time than the previous BigWave issues. Androidâs effort to ensure that serious vulnerabilities are patched efficiently will help protect many Android devices.
At the same time, this case underscores the ongoing need for more exhaustively robust and security-aware code in Android drivers. When I reported the bugs in BigWave, I hoped to spur its developers to evaluate their other drivers for obvious security issues, but 5 months later we nevertheless found a serious and extremely shallow vulnerability in their VPU driver that was instantly noticeable with even a cursory audit of the codebase. Strengthening driver security remains a crucial priority for ensuring a safe Android ecosystem, and we continue to strongly encourage vendors to improve software development practices in a proactive effort to prevent these sorts of vulnerabilities from ever reaching end-users.
Security reports often uncover complex issues missed by the product teams but it is important that software vendors take necessary steps to ensure software products, especially security-critical ones, launch in a reasonably vulnerability-free state and that software teams take a proactive approach to software security, code auditing, and vulnerability patching.

đ r/LocalLLaMA I got a real transformer language model running locally on a stock Game Boy Color! rss
| No phone, PC, Wi-Fi, link cable, or cloud inference. âą The cartridge boots a ROM, and the GBC runs the model itself.
âą The model is Andrej Karpathyâs TinyStories-260K, converted to INT8 weights with fixed-point math so it can run without floating point.
âą Built with GBDK-2020 as an MBC5 Game Boy ROM.
âą The model weights live in bank-switched cartridge ROM. Prompt entry happens on-device with the D-pad/buttons and an on-screen keyboard.
âą The prompt is tokenized on the Game Boy, then the ROM runs transformer prefill + autoregressive generation. The KV cache is stored in cartridge SRAM, because the GBCâs work RAM is tiny. It is extremely slow, and the output is gibberish because the math is heavily quantized/approximated, but the core thing works! Hardware: stock Game Boy Color + EZ Flash Junior + microSD. Used Codex for a large portion of the building! https://github.com/maddiedreese/gbc-transformer submitted by /u/maddiedreese

đ r/LocalLLaMA Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling Into a 26M Model rss
We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices.
We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and- assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention is the right primitive for this, and FFN parameters are wasted at this scale.
Simple Attention Networks: the entire model is just attention and gating, no MLPs anywhere. Needle is an experimental run for single-shot function calling for consumer devices (phones, watches, glasses...).
Training:
- Pretrained on 200B tokens across 16 TPU v6e (27 hours)
- Post-trained on 2B tokens of synthesized function-calling data (45 minutes)
- Dataset synthesized via Gemini with 15 tool categories (timers, messaging, navigation, smart home, etc.)
You can test it right now and finetune on your Mac/PC: https://github.com/cactus-compute/needle
The full writeup on the architecture is here: https://github.com/cactus- compute/needle/blob/main/docs/simple_attention_networks.md
We found that the "no FFN" finding generalizes beyond function calling to any task where the model has access to external structured knowledge (RAG, tool use, retrieval-augmented generation). The model doesn't need to memorize facts in FFN weights if the facts are provided in the input. Experimental results to be published.
While it beats FunctionGemma-270M, Qwen-0.6B, Granite-350M, LFM2.5-350M on single-shot function calling, those models have more scope/capacity and excel in conversational settings. We encourage you to test on your own tools via the playground and finetune accordingly.
Needle is part of a broader effort to make on-device AI practical. We also build Cactus (https://github.com/cactus-compute/cactus), an open-source inference engine for mobile and wearables.

đ The Pragmatic Engineer TechPays has been acquired by Levels.fyi rss
tl;dr:TechPays is joining Levels.fyi : so the leading tech salary site in Europe gets the love and care it deserves. Thanks to Zsombor for building this project with me for so many years.
Pay transparency has always been an issue in tech, especially in Europe. For a while, I assumed that the most that a senior+ software engineer could make in London or Amsterdam would be in the realm of ÂŁ100K / âŹ100K. Once you reach that level, you've made it. You're now at the very top of the market! Or are you?
So when I was making ÂŁ93K in London, working as a principal engineer at Skyscanner in 2016, I was not expecting that I could be compensated meaningfully better. Pay surveys kept confirming that I'm well above the median, and into the 90th percentile of pay grades.
Imagine my surprise when I got an offer from Uber, in Amsterdam, that effectively doubled by compensation, into the realm of around âŹ220-250K ($260-295K). By year four, I made âŹ283K ($332K):
My
total compensation at Uber, per year, 2016-2019. Blue is base salary, yellow
is equity, green is cash bonus. Note how by year 5 (2020), my compensation
dropped to below year 2, thanks to hitting my 4-year vesting cliff for the
initial equity grant.It felt like I discovered a "secret, upper-tier" of the market that no one else knew about. When I became a manager at Uber, and started hiring for my team, several strong software engineers were hesitant to move forward with the process, because they assumed that they were at the very top of the market - but they still made ~half of what we would have offered! I had no way of telling them "your data is wrong, this place pays a lot more!" and so several of them just never bothered to interview, assuming the most raise they would get would be 5-10%. When they could have potentially doubled their compensationâŠ
I saw first-hand that not having good compensation information works against us, developers, and decided to try and change this. I collected data points from closer to 200 engineers working in the Netherlands, and explained that there's a third, "hidden" tier of compensation in The Trimodal Nature of Software Engineering Salaries in the Netherlands and Europe.

After the success of the article, I decided to "open source" compensation data points I collected, and thus TechPays was born:
TechPaysI built this site together with Zsombor ErdĆdy- Nagy. We paid attention to support compensation anonymization, capture freelancer compensation, and break down how compensation packages were put together. We've received so many heart-warming stories on how you've been able to negotiate better compensation packages, thanks to having access to this information.
Knowing that we're making a difference kept us going for a few years, as a side project. However, over time, both Zsombor and I got busier with other projects. For me, it was The Pragmatic Engineer taking up more of my time. We wanted to find a way to keep TechPays running, and get the care it deserves.
Levels.fyi will be taking over operating TechPays - and taking learnings about European compensation packages, and integrating into their global pay transparency platform. I've known Levels.fyi founders Zuhayeer and Zaheer for years, and we share our drive to make compensation as transparent as possible, across the tech industry.
With TechPays, there are no changes: you get to browse the data, as before. And expect even more, high-quality data points on Levels.fyi, for Europe, and globally.
To get more details on compensation, check out Levels.fyi. And read the Trimodal nature of tech compensation in the US, UK and India, based on Levels.fyi data points:

đ MetaBrainz MusicBrainz database schema change release, 2026-05-11 (with upgrade instructions) rss
Weâre happy to announce the release of our May 2026 database schema change now! Thanks to all who were patient during Mondayâs downtime as we released everything to our production servers.
This is a fairly small database schema change release which mostly improves things behind the scenes. Of the schema change tickets, the only one that affects users directly is you are most likely to notice while you browse and edit in MusicBrainz is MBS-14092 (which allows adding series of series, for example for award series for podcasts).
Thanks to chaban, UltimateRiff and yyb987 for having reported bugs and suggested improvements, and thanks to jmrr83, salo.rock and wileyfoxyx for updating the translations.
A new release of MusicBrainz Docker is also available that matches this update of MusicBrainz Server. See the release notes for update instructions.
Database Schema Change Upgrade Instructions
Note: As mentioned previously, if you're running MusicBrainz Docker, these instructions don't apply. See the instructions in the MusicBrainz Docker release notes instead.
Note: Importing the latest data dump is always a valid alternative to running
./upgrade.shon an existing database, if youâd prefer to also get new data in one go. Just follow the relevant instructions in INSTALL.md. The git tag is v-2026-05-11.1-schema-change. The rest of the instructions here assume an in-place upgrade.- Make sure
DB_SCHEMA_SEQUENCEis set to 30 inlib/DBDefs.pm. - If youâre using the live data feed (your
REPLICATION_TYPEis set toRT_MIRROR), ensure youâve replicated up to the most recent replication packet available with the old schema. If youâre not sure, run./admin/replication/LoadReplicationChangesand see what it tells you; if youâre ready to upgrade, it should say âThis replication packet matches schema sequence #30, but the database is currently at #30.â - Take down the web server running MusicBrainz, if youâre running a web server.
- Turn off cron jobs if youâre automatically updating the database via cron jobs.
- If you are running sir (for live search indexing), stop it and drop all existing sir functions and triggers via the
Drop*.sqlscripts found with v4.0.1 of sir:
./admin/psql < $SIR_PATH/sql/DropTriggers.sqland
./admin/psql < $SIR_PATH/sql/DropFunctions.sql. You should also drop the AMQP extension:echo 'DROP EXTENSION IF EXISTS amqp CASCADE;' | ./admin/psql --system. - Upgrade your database cluster to PostgreSQL version 18. Packages for Debian and Ubuntu are available from the PGDB, as usual. Refer to the documentation for pg_upgradecluster or pg_upgrade, whichever method you are using.
- Rebuild database indexes using collations via
./admin/RebuildIndexesUsingCollations.pl --database SYSTEM_MAINTENANCE --noconcurrently. - Install Perl 5.42 (perlbrew can be used if 5.42 isn't packaged for your system).
- Switch to the new code with
git fetch originfollowed bygit checkout v-2026-05-11.0-schema-change. - Run
cpanm --installdeps --notest .(note the dot at the end) to ensure your Perl-based dependencies are up to date. - Edit
lib/DBDefs.pmand replace all occurrences of (1)CacheWrapper::RediswithCacheWrapper::Valkey, and (2)DATASTORE_REDIS_ARGSwithDATASTORE_VALKEY_ARGS. - Run
./upgrade.sh(it may take a while to vacuum at the end). - Set
DB_SCHEMA_SEQUENCEto 31 inlib/DBDefs.pmas instructed by the output of./upgrade.sh. - Turn cron jobs back on, if applicable.
- Restart the MusicBrainz web server, if applicable. If youâre accessing your MusicBrainz server in a web browser, run
./script/compile_resources.sh. - If you were previously running sir, you may update it to the latest v5 release tag and set it up again via
python -m sir setup. Non-mirror standalone servers must additionally runpython -m sir setup_standalone_only.
Thatâs all for the upgrade instructions. Hereâs the list of resolved tickets:
Fixed Bug
- [MBS-6551] - Database does not prevent a release from having duplicate label/catno pairs
- [MBS-14272] - OTOTOY URL cleanup breaks interview links
New Feature
- [MBS-14092] - Add support for series of series
Improvement
- [MBS-14268] - Allow filtering ModBot notes on /edit/notes-received
- [MBS-14271] - Warn if closing Event editor with changes made/pending
Task
- [MBS-14243] - Upgrade the required version of Perl to 5.42
- [MBS-14244] - Upgrade the required version of Node.js to 24
- [MBS-14245] - Switch from Redis to Valkey
- [MBS-14246] - Upgrade the required version of PostgreSQL to 18
- [MBS-14252] - Drop "source" column from iswc and isrc tables
- [MBS-14306] - Remove URL handling for Flattr
- Make sure

Learning Software Architecture
May 12, 2026
In reply to an email asking about learning software design skills as a researcher physicist:
I was attached to a bioinformatics lab early in my career, so I think I understand what you are talking about, the phenomenon of âscientific codeâ! My thoughts:
First meta observation is that âsoftware designâ is something best learned by doing. While I had some formal âdesignâ courses at the University, and I was even âan architectâ for our course project, that stuff was mostly make- believe, kindergarteners playing fire-fighters. What really taught me how to do stuff was an accident of my career, where my second real project (IntelliJ Rust) propelled me to a position of software leadership, and made design my problem. I did make a few mistakes in IJ Rust, but nothing too horrible, and I learned a lot. So thatâs good news â software engineering is simple enough that an inquisitive mind can figure it out from first principles (and reading random blog posts).
Second meta observation, the bad news: Conwayâs law is important. Softwaregenesis repeats the social architecture of the organization producing software. Or, as put eloquently by neugierig,
If I were to summarize what I learned in a single sentence, it would be this: we talk about programming like it is about writing code, but the code ends up being less important than the architecture, and the architecture ends up being less important than social issues.
I suspect that the difference you perceive between industrial and scientific software is not so much about software-building knowledge, but rather about the field of incentives that compels people to produce the software. Something like âmy PhD needs to publish a paper in three monthsâ is perhaps a significant explainer?
Two things you can do here. One , at times you get a chance to design or nudge an incentive structure for a project. This happens once in a blue moon, but is very impactful. This is the secret sauce behind TIGER_STYLE, not the set of rules per se, but the social context that makes this set of rules a good idea.
Two , you can speedrun the four stages of grief to acceptance. Incentive structure is almost never what you want it to be, but, if you canât change it, you can adapt to it. This is also true about most industrial software projects â thereâs never a time to do a thing properly, you must do the best you can, given constraints.
Let me use rust-analyzer as an example. The physical reality of the project is that itâs simultaneously very deep (itâs a compiler! Yay!) and very wide (opposite to an LLM, a classical IDE is a lot of purpose-built special features). The social reality is that âdeep compilerâ can attract a few brilliant dedicated contributors, and that the âbreadth featuresâ can be a good fit for an army of weekend warriors, people who learn Rust, who donât have sustained capacity to participate in the project, but who can sink an hour or two to scratch their own itch.
My insistence that
rust-analyzerdoesnât require buildingrustc, that it builds on stable, that it doesnât have any C dependencies, and that the entire test suite takes seconds, was in the service of the goal of attracting high- impact contributors. I was wrangling the build system to make sure people can work on the borrow checker without thinking about anything else.To attract weekend warriors, the internals of rust-analyzer are split into multiple independent features, where each feature is guarded by
catch_unwindat runtime. The thinking was that I explicitly donât want to care too much about quality there, that the bar for getting a feature PR in is âhappy path works & testedâ. Itâs fine if the code crashes, it will only attract further contributors, provided that:- the quality is isolated to a feature, and doesnât spill over,
- at runtime, the crash is invisible to the user (itâs crucial that rust-analyzer features work with an immutable snapshot, and canât poison the data).
In contrast, when working on the core spine which provided support for features, I was very relatively more pedantic about quality.
A word of caution about adapting to, rather than fixing incentive structure â the future is uncertain, and tends to happen in the least convenient manner. The original motivation behind rust-analyzer experiment was to avoid the need to write a parallel compiler (the one in IntelliJ Rust), and to prototype a better architecture for LSP, so that the learnings could be backported to
rustc. So, even in core (especially in core), the code was very experimental. Oh well. Stuck with one more compiler now, I guess?I might hazard a guess that something similar happened to uutils project, which started as the primary destination for people learning Rust, and ended up as Ubuntu coreutils implementation.
Third , now to some concrete recommendations. Sadly, I donât know of a single book I can recommend which contains the truths. I suspect one can only find such a book in an apocryphal short story by Borges: practice seems to be an essential element here. But here are some things worth paying attention to:
Boundaries talk by Gary Bernhardt is all-time favorite. It contains solid object-level advice, and, for me, it triggered the meta inquiry.
How to Test is something I wish I had. I immediately understood the importance of testing, but it took me a long time to grow arrogant enough to admit that most widely- cited testing advice is shamanistic snake-oil, and to conceptualize what actually works.
â MQ guide and, more generally, writings by Pieter Hintjens introduced me to Conwayâs Law thinking. That âfeature developmentâ architecture of rust-analyzer? â optimistic merging, applied.
Reflections on a decade of coding by Jamii is excellent, goes very meta. It is intentionally the first of my links.
Ted Kaminski blog is the closest there is to a coherent theory of software development, appropriately framed as a set of notes to a non-existing book!
As for the actual books, Software Engineering at Google and Ousterhoutâs The Philosophy of Software Design are often recommended. They are good. SWE, in particular, helped me with a couple of important names. But they werenât ground breaking for me.

đ r/LocalLLaMA Computer build using Intel Optane Persistent Memory - Can run 1 trillion parameter model at over 4 tokens/sec rss
| As the title states, my build is indeed able to run a 1 trillion parameter model (in this case Kimi K2.5) locally at ~4 tokens/second. I thought r/LocalLLaMA would be interested in the build due to that stat line, and also due to the inclusion of an unusual part, Intel Optane Persistent Memory, which I havenât seen anyone use in an LLM inference build before. Optane PMem is a DIMM form factor memory unit that can function in a way that is somewhere between DRAM and an SSD. Intel has discontinued the line, and I found sticks on the secondhand market for much less than what the equivalent DRAM capacity would cost. It is this large PMem capacity (768GB) that allows me to host such large models on my system. For my build I used the PMem in Memory Mode, which is where the PMem is available to the computer as RAM, with the computerâs DRAM sticks functioning as a cache. Kimi K2.5âs mixture-of-experts architecture is an ideal test model for my build. To get the results I did, I used hybrid GPU/CPU inference with llama.cpp. Kimi K2.5âs (Unsloth Q2_K_XL quant) attention weights, the dense layer, the shared expert in each MoE layer, and the routing components are actually able to fit on my 12GB GPU using llama.cppâs âoverride-tensorâ flag, although I also did pretty good results just using llama.cppâs ângl autoâ and âcmoeâ flags and letting llama.cpp decide tensor placement as it sees fit too. Regardless, the sparse expertsâ weights (the bulk of the model size) generally live on PMem/DRAM and get processed as needed from there. The end result from my testing with this setup is around 4 tokens per second for generation! Given the fact that this is a trillion parameter frontier-class model running on such a limited hardware budget, I would consider it to be a great success. Itâs a shame Intel discontinued Optane Persistent Memory, because the current direction of some local inference innovation, including SSD offloading and broader memory tiering approaches, could have been really interesting with this specific kind of memory tier on modern hardware platforms. Overall I was pleased with this Optane PMem-centric build, it allows me to run very big models at surprisingly acceptable speeds, and the process was highly educational. Parts: - Intel Xeon Gold 6246 CPU - TYAN S5630GMRE-CGN motherboard - ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 OC 12GB GPU - 6x 32GB Samsung 2666MHz DDR4 ECC DRAM sticks - 6x 128GB Intel Optane DCPMM PC4-2666 NMA1XBD128GQS persistent memory modules - Western Digital WD SN850X 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD - ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G 850W 80 PLUS GOLD & Cybenetics PLATINUM Full Modular Power Supply - Silverstone SST-GD08B (Black) Grandia Series Home Theater PC Case I hope you enjoyed this rundown. There is a lot more detail that I didnât include here, so Iâm happy to answer questions about the build, the configuration, or the reasoning behind any of the component choices in the comments. Also if anyone else has explored similarly unusual hardware/builds for LLM inference, Iâd love to discuss! submitted by /u/APFrisco

đ r/Leeds The demise of Subway rss
I remember a few years ago when there were 6 or 7 Subways in the city centre. Now there are 3 I think. Having visited the one near St John's Centre its not hard to see why. No heating (the place was freezing). Half of the seating cordorned off, and toilet marked 'staff only'. When you buy food to eat in you are also paying to enjoy your meal in comfortable surroundings. Sadly it felt like eating a sandwich in a bus stop. Food itself was decent.

Honestly, every time I pass this now and remember that it used to be HomeSense, I can't get over on why we need this new ugly shop on one of the main city centre streets?

đ r/LocalLLaMA The Qwen 3.6 35B A3B hype is real!!! rss
My personal test for small local LLM intelligence is to check whether a model has any ability to understand the code that I write for my own academic research. My research is on some pretty niche topics and I doubt that anything like it is substantively present in the training sets for LLMs. A few months ago, small local models' ability to understand my code was nominal at best with Devstral Small 2 being the top performer. However, several small open weight models now have methods of accommodating fairly long contexts (gated delta net, hybrid Mamba2, sliding window attention) which makes them extremely smarter. I can now feed a model an entire academic paper along with accompanying code and ask it to use the paper to work out what the code is doing.
I just spent a couple days experimenting with:
- Qwen 3.6 35B A3B
- Qwen 3.6 27B
- Gemma 4 26B A4B
- Nemotron 3 Nano
All of them were able to comprehend my code significantly better than what any small local model could do a few months ago. I did try Devstral Small 2 since I recently went from a single 16GB graphics card to two; however, I simply couldn't fit the long context in 32GB of ram. I hope Mistral releases a new small model with a gated delta net, because I think it could take the throne.
These are my detailed findings from asking local models to explain how my code maps to the research paper it corresponds to.
TLDR: All four models listed above are incredibly capable local models, with Qwen 3.6 35B A3B standing out as the best. I'm also inclined to think that an intelligent human with any of these four models is more capable than something like Opus 4.7 on its own (see the detailed findings).
Please let me know your thoughts!

đ r/york Favorite thing about York? rss
Hiya! Moving to York this fall from the US for uni and am getting more excited by the day. I studied abroad in Oxford for a few months (absolutely loved it) and have traveled a little around England but have never gone this far north.
What are some things to look forward to? Iâm curious about the overall culture and history of York and also want to know about some other peopleâs experiences living in this city on their own (or experiences when you first moved to York).
