About SeneJUG Town
SeneJUG Town is here for you. To begin with, you can customize your homepage. Each member has a blog. When you post a blog, it is also displayed on the Codetown homepage! You can create Discussions, add Comments, upload multimedia, join other Groups and use the powerful Invite feature to ask your friends and colleagues to join.
Since we're the West African JUG, a large group geographically, there are many distant members you can stay in touch with through this Group. Look for members in France and Morocco, too!
We look forward to seeing the miles between us grow smaller, virtually. All the best!

Google’s TurboQuant Compression May Support Faster Inference, Same Accuracy on Less Capable Hardware
Google Research unveiled TurboQuant, a novel quantization algorithm that compresses large language models’ Key-Value caches by up to 6x. With 3.5-bit compression, near-zero accuracy loss, and no retraining needed, it allows developers to run massive context windows on significantly more modest hardware than previously required. Early community benchmarks confirm significant efficiency gains.
By Bruno CouriolPresentation: Empower Your Developers: How Open Source Dependencies Risk Management Can Unlock Innovation
Celine Pypaert discusses the ubiquitous nature of open-source software and shares a blueprint for securing modern applications. She explains how to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities using exploitability data, the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and the importance of bridging the gap between DevOps and Security through clear accountability and automated governance.

Zendesk argues that GenAI shifts the bottleneck in software delivery from writing code to “absorption capacity”, which is the organisation’s ability to define problems clearly, integrate changes into the wider system, and turn implementation into reliable value. As code becomes abundant, architectural coherence, review capacity, and delivery flow become the main constraints.

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used Claude Code to find a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's NFS driver, undiscovered for 23 years. Five kernel vulnerabilities have been confirmed so far. Linux kernel maintainers report that AI bug reports have recently shifted from slop to legitimate findings, with security lists now receiving 5-10 valid reports daily.

At Lead Bank, synchronous telemetry flushing caused intermittent exporter stalls to become user-facing 504 gateway timeouts. By leveraging AWS Lambda's Extensions API and goroutine chaining in Go, flush work is moved off the response path, returning responses immediately while preserving full observability without telemetry loss.
