Ryan chats with Leo de Moura, Senior Principal Applied Scientist at AWS and the creator of the Lean language, about proving correctness in AI agents with the Lean language, how automated reasoning complements probabilistic AI models, and the use of AI for continuous code optimization.
Most of what you read about autonomous agents is about giving one a goal and hoping it doesn't go sideways on the way there — the unwatched agent that loops, or drifts, or quietly runs up a bill. I wanted the cleaner version of that question, with the goal taken out entirely: what does an agent do when there's no goal at all? I've spent about four months building a harness around a coding agent — gates, persistent memory, verification hooks. Last night I ran it with the one variable that matters...
This article is about running a hand-written Gemma 4 port in pure JAX on three different accelerators, and about the two places the abstraction leaks. The code is here: github.com/xbill9/gemma4-dev What is this project trying to Do? This project aims to serve one Gemma 4 checkpoint from one JAX port across every accelerator I can rent, and to find out — by measurement, not by reading docs — which parts of "it's just JAX" are true. The port lives in ports/gemma4/ and is driven by a generation loo...

LINE published an official MCP server for its Messaging API, which means an AI agent can now drive a LINE Official Account directly — sending messages, broadcasting promotions, and pushing Flex Message cards without writing any API code. I set it up with Codex and worked through every capability the server exposes, from creating a fresh account to delivering a message to a real phone. This guide is the result: a complete walkthrough, and an honest account of the three places where the documentat...

Follow-up to my 512 MB Spring Boot experiment: I tried the same application on a 256 MB Alpine VPS. JDK 21 struggled badly at this size, but with JDK 25 and a tuned 80 MB heap, the app plus lightweight monitoring completed a one-hour run without restarts or OOM kills. Still not something I’d recommend for normal production, but the difference was interesting. submitted by /u/fykup [link] [comments]

Grand Theft Auto 6 has finally had its first big gameplay reveal, giving us our first real look at Rockstar's massive open-world and the amount of detail it holds.

Digital Foundry's Oliver Mackenzie and Richard Leadbetter have praised GTA 6's visual presentation, with Mackenzie specifically going as far to call it the "most impressive example of real-time game rendering" he's ev...

The annual Gamescom event is meant to showcase some of the best upcoming video games, but at least two apparent thefts have thrown a damper on this year's festivities. Indie developer Ryan Laley reported that his equipment was stolen from his Gamescom booth, which he said was "a huge blow financially and mentally." Fortunately, Laley has received an outpouring of support from the industry, including The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red. On X, CD Projekt Red responded to Lale...
Nvidia hasn't yet announced a release date for DLSS 5, which it revealed to widespread backlash earlier this year. But a recent leak has provided PC modders the ability to inject the neural rendering in almost any game, which is being used to showcase just how awful its AI-powered face filters can get. Accidentally included in a build of NBA 2K27 (via VideoCardz), an early version of DLSS 5 was accessed and made useable by the RenoDX modding community, who quickly developed a crude toolset allow...
Despite mixed messages when it comes to when we can expect the next PlayStation and Xbox, one aspect about the next generation seems to be clearer than ever: Discs are going away. Earlier this year, Sony announced that it would be ending physical disc production for all PlayStation games launching after January 2028, confirming that the company's next console will almost certainly be digital-only. Microsoft hasn't made as strong a statement yet, instead opting to introduce a program allowing Xbo...
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy faces a difficult balancing act. Can it move away from its predecessors' terrifying waves of rats and still deliver a supernatural terror that ties into rewarding environmental puzzles? Can it ditch the series' sibling protagonists and still tell a moving story focused on two people learning to lean on one another? And can it add fierce, frenetic combat to the franchise's formula as a new gameplay pillar without abandoning its core identity as a puzzle game? At ti...
Microsoft's new Fable game was supposed to launch this year, but it was delayed to February 2027. The game's director, Ralph Fulton, said in an interview that he feels "great" about the launch timing for Fable, adding that shifting to 2027 helps the game avoid the "chaotic window" of its original timeframe of late 2026. Speaking to IGN, Fulton said the reason for the delay "is pretty apparent to everybody." He said he was "really looking forward to" launching Fable in 2026, saying he wasn't happ...
Disney and Epic Games caused a bit of a stir recently when they unveiled their latest collaboration: a Fortnite skin that you can only get by riding the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run ride at Disneyland in California or Disney World in Florida. There's been a lot of spirited discussion about this skin since then, as most of the folks who had something to say about the situation seemed pretty annoyed about it. Honestly, even though I just made my once-per-decade visit to Disneyland back in Jun...

Star Wars Zero Company is a great take on the XCOM-like turn-based tactics game, and as I said in my review, it actually pushes the genre forward with a blend of new ideas and excellent execution. But as laudable as that is, Zero Company actually managed to accomplish something much more daunting: it made me care about the Clone Wars era of Star Wars. I am an old-timer of a Star Wars fan, raised on the original trilogy, and I have distinct memories of watching the prequel films. I enjoyed them, ...
