Lurking beneath the convenience and everyday nature of USB devices is a sophisticated cybersecurity threat known as BadUSB. BadUSB is a type of attack that leverages the reprogrammable firmware in USB devices (e.g., flash drives, keyboards, charging cables) to carry out malicious actions. Unlike traditional malware, which lives in the file system and can often be detected by antivirus tools, BadUSB lives in the firmware layer.

Jul 29, 2025 By Reza Ramezanpour In Tigera
Kubernetes networking is deceptively simple on the surface, until it breaks, silently leaks data, or opens the door to a full-cluster compromise.

Unifying Autoregressive and Diffusion-Based Language Models

Jul 29, 2025 By ServiceNow In ServiceNow
Welcome to the AI research bites. This series of short and informative talks showcases cutting-edge research work from ServiceNow AI Research team. The AI Research Bites are open to all, especially those interested in keeping up with the fast-paced AI research community. In this presentation, Pierre-André Noël will show that, if you squint hard enough, autoregressive language models are a special case of diffusion models. We make this idea more concrete by introducing hyperschedules, allowing different token positions to get different noise levels.

Don't fly blind... monitor from your users' perspective.

Jul 29, 2025 By Catchpoint In Catchpoint
Most monitoring strategies focus only on what happens inside their applications... but that’s not what your users experience. From your backend to the cloud, through third-party APIs, DNS, CDNs, ISPs, and finally to the user’s device, every link in the chain matters. Without that visibility, you're flying blind when something breaks in your Internet Stack. Catchpoint’s 3,000+ intelligent agents across 100+ countries deliver true end-to-end visibility, capturing every hop, every variable, and every moment of user impact.

Evals are just tests, so why aren't engineers writing them?

Jul 29, 2025 By Eli Hooten In Sentry
You’ve shipped an AI feature. Prompts are tuned, models wired up, everything looks solid in local testing. But in production, things fall apart—responses are inconsistent, quality drops, weird edge cases appear out of nowhere. You set up evals to improve quality and consistency. You use Langfuse, Braintrust, Promptfoo—whatever fits. You start running your evals, tracking regressions, fixing issues, and confidence goes up as a result. Things improve.
