Sixteen AI Agents Built a C Compiler From Scratch

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini set 16 instances of Claude Opus 4.6 loose on a shared codebase over two weeks to build a C compiler from scratch, and the AI agents produced a 100,000-line Rust-based compiler capable of building a bootable Linux 6.9 kernel on x86, ARM and RISC-V architectures.

The project ran through nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions and cost about $20,000 in API fees. Each instance operated inside its own Docker container, independently claiming tasks via lock files and pushing comp

Как обойти платную подписку Битрикс24 и вернуть своего бота к жизни: делаем свой провайдер событий на коробке

Привет, Хабр! (И тебе, страдалец, который три недели смотрит на мёртвого бота в Битриксе. И тебе, админ, который уже устал объяснять руководству, почему «оно перестало работать».

Почему классический SSO не работает в энтерпрайзе

Идеальная система аутентификации создает максимум препятствий для злоумышленников и минимум — для легитимных пользователей. Но на практике приходится искать компромисс между надежностью и удобством, например, устанавливать требования к паролям по длине и сложности. Классические технологии единого входа (SSO), среди которых SAML, OIDC и Kerberos закрывают часть этих вопросов: упрощают доступ для сотрудников и централизуют аутентификацию в определенные системы, однако имеют собственные недостатки — в первую о Read more
