9 Approaches for Detecting Anomalies

In the previous article, we discussed time series forecasting. A logical continuation would be an article on anomaly detection. Applications of anomaly detection are used in areas such as: 1) Predicting equipment failures In 2010, Iranian centrifuges were attacked by the Stuxnet virus, which set the equipment to an suboptimal operating mode and caused part of it to break down due to accelerated wear. If […]

Release of GNU Mes 0.21, a toolkit for self-sufficient distribution building

The release of the GNU Mes 0.21 toolkit, which facilitates the bootstrapping process for GCC, has been presented. This toolkit addresses the challenge of verified initial compiler builds in distributions, breaking the cycle of recursive compilation (where executable files from an already built compiler are required to build the compiler). GNU Mes offers a self-hosting interpreter for the Scheme language, written in C, and a simple compiler for C (MesCC), […]

A bug has been discovered in the Linux kernel that causes certain programs using AVX to malfunction.

In the Linux kernel, starting from version 5.2, a bug has manifested that leads to corruption of the AVX register contents when returning from a signal handler triggered during an exception (page fault). The issue occurs when running multi-threaded programs ('-pthread') that involve computations with the AVX register, if the kernel is built with GCC 9 (building with earlier versions of GCC does not exhibit the bug […]
