Show HN: 1MB Tenstorrent driver with ptx like kernels

The world of AI used to have people training models for solving substantial issues - like beat world's best go players or solving protein folding. Now that the AI got good, perhaps we forgot a bit how to do it. There is still cheap hardware around for tinkerers and people who want to continue good AI legacy. But the hardware may miss software. It is for those people that I started working on zyx long time ago - ML library in hopes of running on any hardware. One example of such hardware is tenstorrent. But the basics must be built first. And so today I'm showing you skamandros. A tiny, self-co

Seven stable kernels with fixes for three Xen vulnerabilities

Hot on the heels of the previous two stable kernels , Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 7.3.3 , 6.18.62 , 6.12.116 , 6.6.162 , 6.1.192 , 5.15.225 , and 5.10.274 stable kernels. Each one only contains fixes for three use-after-free vulnerabilities announced today by the Xen security team. Two of the vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) for the entire Xen host machine with possible information leakage ( CVE-2026-100080 , CVE-2026-100082 ), and one may allow privilege escalation as well as a DoS of the host machine ( CVE-2026-100081 ).

AMD Releases ZenDNN 6.1 With New Kernels & Optimizations

Last month Intel and AMD jointly announced they would be collaborating on software optimizations with PyTorch/oneDNN. That already led to the UXL Foundation's release of oneDNN 3.14 with initial AMD Zen optimizations. It looks though like for now at least AMD will also continue to concurrently push new work into their ZenDNN library and not exclusively tied to oneDNN. Out today is ZenDNN 6.1...
