Efficient Diffusion Policy Fine Tuning with Latent Noise Representation Bridging

Pre-trained diffusion and flow policies have emerged as powerful backbones for robotics, yet adapting them to novel data via reinforcement learning (RL) remains computationally expensive, sample inefficient and lacks theoretical guarantees. Prior approaches that fine-tune the initial noise bypass costly backpropagation through time but struggle with the "noise aliasing" problem: there does not…

LogCarverGuard, an MCP proxy between an AI agent and SQL Server

I am a SQL Server DBA and I also write C# and .NET. Many people now let an AI coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor run SQL on a real database.

  • LogCarverGuard acts as a proxy between AI coding agents and SQL Server databases.
  • It restricts actions on the database using Managed Connection Protocol (MCP) and API key.
  • The proxy blocks specific actions like DROP TABLE, ALTER DATABASE SET, and GRANT.
