Humans are better coders than AI, CodeRabbit concludes
Security researchers analyzed 470 open-source GitHub pull requests, including 320 AI-co-authored PRs and 150 human-only PRs. In short, they found that AI tools accelerate code output, but also amplify the number of (critical) mistakes.

I can help but feel this "feature" should raise more concerns than it does alleviate them.
"Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records addresses this need by targeting DNS changes that customers can make within 60 minutes of a service disruption in the US East (N. Virginia) Region."

Amazon Route 53 launches Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records | Amazon Web Services
Amazon Route 53 now offers Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records, a new business continuity feature designed to provide a 60-minute recovery time objective (RTO) during service disruptions in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. This enhancement enables customers to continue making critical DNS changes and provisioning infrastructure even during regional outages, ensuring greater resilience for mission-critical applications.

Quantum Replica Exchange
The presence of energy barriers in the state space of a physical system can lead to exponentially slow convergence for sampling algorithms like Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In the classical setting, replica exchange (or parallel tempering) is a powerful heuristic to accelerate mixing in these scenarios. In the quantum realm, preparing Gibbs states of Hamiltonians faces a similar challenge, where bottlenecks can dramatically increase the mixing time of quantum dynamical semigroups. In this w…

Accelerated prediction of dielectric functions in solar cell materials with graph neural networks
We present an atomistic line graph neural network (ALIGNN) model for predicting dielectric functions directly from crystal structures. Trained on $\sim$7000 dielectric functions from the JARVIS-DFT database computed with a meta-GGA exchange-correlation functional, the model accurately reproduces spectral features, including peak intensities and overall line shapes, while enabling efficient high-throughput screening. Applied to the recently developed Alexandria materials database, containing ove…

Accelerating LLM Inference with Precomputed Query Storage
Large language model (LLM) inference often suffers from high latency, particularly in resource-constrained environments such as on-device or edge deployments. To address this challenge, we present StorInfer, a novel storage-assisted LLM inference system that accelerates response time by precomputing and storing predictable query-response pairs offline. When a user query semantically matches a precomputed query, StorInfer bypasses expensive GPU inference and instantly returns the stored response…
