Scaling agentic AI pilots across the enterprisehttps://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/03/1142868/scaling-agentic-ai-pilots-across-the-enterprise

As agentic AI moves from experimentation toward enterprise deployment, the challenge is figuring out how agents can work together, connect to the systems and data they need, and operate safely across the workflows that run a business. Although agentic AI has been adopted by some 80% of Fortune 500 companies, progress toward meaningful scale remains…

As FromSoftware’s new multiplayer game The Duskbloods nears release, the legendary game director behind Dark Souls talks connection, pessimism and of course, feet Since 2020’s Demon’s Souls, Japanese video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has shown the world a different way to think about game design. His games defy convention with punishing fights, obscure rules, and unknowable, inhospitable worlds. The β€œSoulslike” genre – named after Demon’s Souls and its sequel Dark Souls – is now ubiquitous, influencing multimillion-sellers from God of War and Star Wars: Jedi to Hollow Knig…

Show HN: Radio Bench cross platform unified amateur radio workspacehttps://radiobench.com

I built a cross platform amateur radio program using the egui framework. It was originally built as quite frankly I got annoyed with having so many different programs installed to listen to and send radio signals. If you have a cheap SDR radio dongle like the RTL based ones or even better an AirspyHF+ Discovery laying around then give radio bench a try. Bonus points if you are a licensed ham and have a transceiver. The key idea behind the software is to have a much more realistic and calm workspace for making contacts.

PicoLM is an LLM inference engine written in C99. It currently supports llama-2, GPT-2, Qwen 3.6/3.8(+MoE) and Gemma-3n models. Significant amount of work went into CPU SIMD acceleration/testing/correctness, and wide cross-platform availability with constant testing to never lose portability (from DOS through OS/X 10.4 to modernity). CUDA/HIP is supported, and accelerated IMMA kernels are available. More work needs to be done on prompt processing speed, but text generation is quite fast already. GGUFs are mmap()'ed, not preloaded, so it's much more friendly to RAM usage than llama.cpp. Extern…

mitmproxy cannot recreate the client's TLS, it uses python's TLS stack, so even with a real browser behind it, your connection looks like that of a python script. To solve this, I've created mitmcloak. It reads the client's ClientHello and HTTP/2 preface in real time and mirrors it with httpcloak (my other tls client library), no capture or fine tuning of the preset required. H3 is mirrored as well though QUIC only reaches the proxy in wireguard/transparent/reverse mode as a proxy setting doesn't redirect UDP by default. mitmcloak is an addon to mitmproxy, not a fork, so your setup stays exac…
