Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in multi-tenant cloud environments, where they execute diverse tool calls within sandboxed containers, each call with distinct resource demands and rapid fluctuations. We present a systematic characterization of OS-level resource dynamics in sandboxed AI coding agents, analyzing 144 software engineering tasks from the SWE-rebench benchmark across two LLM models. Our measurements reveal that (1) OS-level execution (tool calls, container and agent initialization) accounts for 56-74% of end-to-end task latency; (2) memory, not CPU, is the concurrency bottleneck; (3) memory spikes are tool-call-driven with a up to 15.4x peak-to-average ratio; and (4) resource demands are highly unpredictable across tasks, runs, and models. Comparing these characteristics against serverless, microservice, and batch workloads, we identify three mismatches in existing resource controls: a granularity mismatch (container-level policies vs. tool-call-level dynamics), a responsiveness mismatch (user-space reaction vs. sub-second unpredictable bursts), and an adaptability mismatch (history-based prediction vs. non-deterministic stateful execution). We propose AgentCgroup , an eBPF-based resource controller that addresses these mismatches through hierarchical cgroup structures aligned with tool-call boundaries, in-kernel enforcement via sched_ext and memcg_bpf_ops, and runtime-adaptive policies driven by in-kernel monitoring. Preliminary evaluation demonstrates improved multi-tenant isolation and reduced resource waste.

I never thought I would say that, but it’s something they really desperately need. The AI is gonna read the old Apple interface guidelines and execute them.
The U.S. invaded another country and potentially destabilized an entire continent (maybe up to three) to execute an arrest warrant based on U.S. laws that have no jurisdiction there.
I won't debate people on conforming with the moral standards set by the far right, because every time a moderate feels the need to condemn a statement that was “inciting violence”, the truth comes out that their so-called violence was a media framing oddly applied to them with a bad-faith reading of their words.
Anybody know if Jenkins CI allows you to mark a specific job as dependent on a shared resource that conflicts with specific other jobs?
Like jobs A, B, and C can all run whenever, but D and E use the same external foobar (software license, piece of hardware, whatever) and can't execute concurrently

I would never have suspected that the US of would execute a restrained wounded protester and that the shooter could get away with it.
(I hope 'get away for now and get prosecuted later', but I don't know...)
Little JavaScript tip:
You know you can comment out code to quickly disable it:
```js
/*
console.log(‘I won’t run’)
*/
```
But did you know you can also use a labelled block with a break statement to do the same thing in a more flexible manner?
```js
disable: {
break disable
console.log(‘I wont’t run’)
}
```
Then, you can quickly the move the `break disable` to different lines to execute different bits of code wit…

The security company LayerX has found a critical vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Desktop Extensions (DXT). A manipulated Google Calendar entry can execute arbitrary code on the computer without any user interaction. Although the vulnerability received the highest possible severity rating of 10 out of 10 on the common CVSS, Anthropic does not intend to fix the problem for the time being:

Donald Trump says he has been assured the killing of Iranian protesters has been halted,
while adding he will “watch it and see” about threatened US military action.
The president said at the White House that “very important sources on the other side” had also now assured him that Iranian executions would not go ahead, Agence France-Presse is reporting.
“They’ve said the killing has stopped and the executions won’t take place,” Trump said.
There were supposed to be a …
Iran extends airspace closure
Iran further extended an order closing its airspace to commercial aircraft without explanation early on Thursday.
A notice to pilots said the closure was estimated to last until 7.30am local time, the AP is reporting.
A previous order had closed the airspace for just over two hours.
The Iranian government offered no explanation of the decision to shut its airspace amid the tensions with Washington over Tehran’s protest crackdown.
