Graft, an open source context layer for coding agents, published by Nanonets as the repository NanoNets/Graft. It parses a codebase into a graph of symbols and the relationships between them, then hands an agent only the nodes a given prompt actually needs, rather than leaving it to grep its way around a large repository. It wires into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini through an MCP server and editor hooks, and rebuilds the graph in the background after each turn, so the index never has to be rebuilt by hand.

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews, Lobsters

A security research tool that attacks the memory hierarchy from underneath, by reprogramming the DRAM controller's address translation registers on AMD Family 16h processors, the last generation whose datasheets document those registers and confirm they cannot be locked. Remapping physical addresses breaks the assumption every platform security primitive rests on, exposing regions of DRAM the kernel itself cannot see: the Platform Security Processor, System Management Mode, C6 memory and CPU microcode.

How to read this

Method

Every riser shows the earlier and latest reading. Count-based signals also show their percentage change. Rankings show the number of positions climbed from the earlier position to the latest one; a lower position is better.

Funding rounds show disclosed amounts and targets. Company rank movement shows a third-party 90-day momentum signal, current position and observation date. Archived briefings preserve each day’s published signals and follow-ups.
