This is clearly less high profile than the Scarlett Johanssen vs OpenAI one. Still this shows it has the potential to become a widespread (even though shady) practice. This might need some regulation fairly soon.

This is indeed important to be able to run such models locally. Will still require more optimization but it's slowly getting there. The reproducibility it brings is especially necessary for science.

What can I say? I love Makefiles as well.

This law is unfortunately too little known. Here is a nice and short primer. Be careful though, it's short but packed with information, might require more reading around the concepts highlighted in this article.

Definitely a big announcement for Matrix. Could it be the beginning of going mainstream? I suspect it'll be now or never. I'm slightly concerned about the desktop support being apparently ignored, the UX there is far from great still.

When I read the content of this article I wonder how useful the metrics really were. I mean clearly they helped the team realize which changes to bring... but the practice changes were all somewhat conventional in a way. You go a long way when you focus on quality and create the space for it.

Definitely good news if you have to maintain a real-time Linux system for industrial use. No more patches to carry over.

This is good news. DirectX being the other big graphics API if it adopts SPIR-V as interchange format it'll open the way to more shader reuses.

Or why we should all be concerned and condemn the latest pager and walkie-talkie attacks. They clearly opened a Pandora's box, it'd be surprising not to see more of those from various organizations. The funds and efforts required make it affordable enough.

The quick answer is yes. The longer answer is that more effort is still required to ensure the network has enough diversity of nodes to stay healthy.

We should definitely be more wary of metrics indeed. They help for a while, but at some point you'll necessarily get unfortunately burnt by them. The only fallback is "good judgement"... do what you can with this.

People are gasping in horror with Larry Ellison's latest claims... but really they should realize he's not dreaming big. All of that is already here in one form or another. Maybe it was time to protest years ago?

This is a very harsh and bleak view on the current generative AI craze. Clearly it survives on some sort of weird faith that things will magically improve. Some decision makers clearly run fully on said faith and lost all kind of realistic view of the situation. They are just very disconnected from the user's needs.

There's even a funny quote in there: "Generative AI must seem kind of magical when your entire life is either being in a meeting or reading an email".

When this bubble bursts, it's hard to predict what the fallout will be on the tech industry... for sure it won't be pretty. It also begs the question: what is this industry going to do next? There's clearly no plan after generative AI.

This is indeed an interesting new CSS selector. Opens the door to doing more in a declarative way and with less Javascript.

Looks like an interesting tool to have in the box for 2D effects on the web.

This is a good initiative. It makes no sense for Oracle to still cling onto JavaScript has a trademark.

An interesting endeavor to create you own OS using another language than one of the usual ones.

Need to illustrate how much the current AI arm race is an ecological and social problem? Here is a very pathological case. This is what you get when you let the tycoons behind this completely unchecked.

Wish to use SQLite in production? You better have a good backup strategy. This article explains the main available options.

Shell scripts deserve to be well designed like this indeed.
