Definitely too much hype around large models right now. This over shadows the more useful specialized models.
Open is unsurprisingly only in the name... this company is really just a cult.
Interesting Firefox feature I didn't notice. Looks fairly nice, I'll use it more.
The training dataset crisis is looming in the case of large language models. They'll sooner or later run out of genuine content to use... and the generated toxic waste will end up in training data, probably leading to dismal results.
Definitely a recent and lesser known to interact with other processes. Could be useful in some cases.
There are other cryptography schemes out there with interesting properties. Too bad they're not very much used.
Strange things do happen when the hardware fails... indeed the systemd open question at the end is mysterious.
Funny experiment playing with the frequency domain and the spatial domain of an image. This gives unintuitive results for sure.
Interesting work. This is nice to see improvements and experiments in dependency solvers for package managers.
This is a technique which is definitely underestimated. There are plenty of libraries out there allowing to use them.
Good food for thought. Explains quite well the factors which impact software development.
Ever wondered about the state of the art in password cracking? This is not an easy read but a good reference.
Looks like nice extensions to use GNU Make to run simple tasks.
You expect joining file paths to be a simple operation? Think again, it's definitely error prone and can change between stacks.
Interesting how much extra performance you can shave off the GPU by going back to how the hardware works.
Interesting quick comparison, this shows the design tradeoffs quite well.
Getting network protocols right is definitely difficult.
Indeed the next systemd release feels feature packed. Definitely to keep an eye on.
Good advice indeed. Having asserts using appropriate matchers can go a long way understanding what went wrong.
Not a reason to make no effort into having as proper error messages as possible. Still there's some truth there that trying to have a really useful error message is a fool's errand.
