Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
Today we’re announcing updates to our pricing and product models for GitHub Actions. Why? When we shipped Actions in 2018, we had no idea how popular it would become. By early 2024, the platform was running about 23 million jobs per day and our existing architecture couldn’t reliably support our growth curve. In order to […]

Prompt caching: 10x cheaper LLM tokens, but how?
As I write this post, cached input tokens are 10x cheaper in dollars per token than regular input tokens for both OpenAI and Anthropic’s APIs. Anthropic even claim that prompt caching can reduce latency ”by up to 85% for long prompts” and in my own testing I found that for a long enough prompt, this […]
AIsbom – open-source CLI to detect ”Pickle Bombs” in PyTorch models
AIsbom is a specialized security and compliance scanner for Machine Learning artifacts. Unlike generic SBOM tools that only parse requirements.txt, AIsbom performs Deep Binary Introspection on model files (.pt, .pkl, .safetensors) to detect malware risks and legal license violations hidden inside the serialized weights. ⚡ Quick Start 1. Installation Install directly from PyPI. No cloning […]
Gh-actions-lockfile: generate and verify lockfiles for GitHub Actions
No Native Lockfile GitHub Actions has no built-in mechanism to lock dependency versions. Mutable Tags Version tags like @v4 can be silently retagged to point to different code. Hidden Dependencies Composite actions pull in transitive dependencies you can’t see or audit.
Writing a blatant Telegram clone using Qt, QML and Rust. And C++

40 percent of fMRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity
For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in the renowned journal Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the way fMRI data have so far been interpreted with regard to neuronal activity. According to the findings, there is no generally valid […]
This is not the future
I thought about this when reading a mastodon post which commented on a news where a project adopted a ”use Generative AI but disclose it” policy, because it is ”the future” and ”people are going to use it anyway”. I find the ”this is the future, like it or not” framing particularly disgusting, and it […]
