GitHub Copilot improvements https://github.blog/... Fill-In-the-Middle (craft prompts for code suggestions with code suffixes as well as the prefix), VSCode extension logic to reduce frequency of disruptive suggestions, upgraded AI Codex model for better code synthesis
BleepingComputer
GitHub updates Copilot with better and more secure code suggestions and says 46% of developers' code files across all languages were generated with Copilot
and in Java, that number jumps to 61%. https://github.blog/... @quinnypig : “Today, GitHub Copilot is behind an average of 46% of a developers' code across all programming language...

Breaking Nvidia's CUDA Monopoly In ML https://www.semianalysis.com/ ... - PyTorch 2.0 (Dynamic Shapes) - PrimTorch (~250 primitive operator building blocks) - TorchDynamo (partial / guarded graph capture + JIT recapture: ingest any PyTorch user script and generate an FX graph)
SemiAnalysis
An overview of the ML software development industry over the past decade: a decline of Nvidia's CUDA monopoly, PyTorch overtaking Google's TensorFlow, and more
the CUDA monopoly is nowhere close to being broken and CUDA will continue to be the key dependency for PyTorch. As a data point, Triton isn't the first rally — multiple vendors use...
- AOT Autograd - TorchInductor compiler (Wrapper Codegen) - OpenAI Triton (LLVM IR direct to PTX without cuBLAS / CudNN) - a good article !

A Chrome feature is creating enormous load on global root DNS servers https://arstechnica.com/... Intranet Redirect Detector, which makes spurious queries for random “domains” statistically unlikely to exist, responsible for roughly half of world total DNS traffic to root servers!
Ars Technica
A Chromium feature is responsible for nearly half of the traffic load on root DNS servers by issuing DNS lookups that often propagate up to root nameservers
Google is doing to DNS what D-Link once did to NTP. — The Chromium browser—open source, upstream parent to both Google Chrome … Tweets: @jreuben1 , @dennis_kipker , @glynmoody , ...
