  • RISC-V is sloooow – Marcin Juszkiewicz [Perspective from a Fedora developer]

    Jump

  • I think a lot of the initial growth of RISCV has been in the embedded space with microcontroller scale chips. Even for Arm it took some time to get to the point they where shipping data center class devices. Arguably personal computing is still lagging for Arm.

  • As a rule of thumb, should I pick the Debian package or the Flatpak version of a given programme?

    Jump

  • Stable package > back port package > flatpak/snap.

    Basically I want everything as stable as possible unless I have a particular need for a newer feature.

    The main things I run from flatpak/snap are browsers and the Minecraft launcher because they are both regularly updated.

  • Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

    Jump

  • I expect because it wasn't a user - just a random passer by throwing stones on their own personal crusade. The project only has two major contributors who are now being harassed in the issues for the choices they make about how to run their project.

    Someone might fork it and continue with pure artisanal human crafted code but such forks tend to die off in the long run.

  • Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."

    Jump

  • Glad it applies worldwide /s

    Slop can't be copyrighted, great. We don't want slop.

  • Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."

    Jump

  • There is no settled legal status on the output of AI systems and it's certainly something that does need clarification going forward. The law may treat asking an LLM to regurgitate it's training data vs following instructions in a local context differently. Human engineers are allowed to use "retained knowledge" from their experiences even if they can't bring their notebooks from previous careers. LLMs are just better at it.

    Jump

  • It looks like the issue submitter is trolling a number of projects on their personal anti-AI crusade. I would take it more seriously if they had reviewed any of the PRs and identified issues with them.

    Yes AI slop is an issue (especially for maintainers) but it can still be a useful tool. If the maintainers want to use AI on their own code it should be their choice. Most forks fail because the righteous feeling of finally getting your own way on a repo you control usually falls away as you realise the people actually doing the work didn't follow you.

  • There’s a Class 100 semiconductor cleanroom inside this backyard shed.

    Jump

  • There was someone who wrote up a bootstrapping guide for technology assuming an apocalypse sent us back to sticks and stones. I think that guide went much further back on the level of lithography you could meaningfully get to while restarting tech.

    I am curious what size features this guy can create in his lab.

  • Russia may halt gas supplies to Europe amid Iran energy spike, Putin says

    Jump

  • Mostly. Some countries built a bunch of storage so they could import LNG from Qatar. The grid is greening slowly and I suspect now we are coming out of winter gas demand will start to drop again.

  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • The chain of trust will depend on the hardware. I would expect on a Steam Deck it would be Valve all the way. If it was Ubuntu it would be Microsoft then Canonical. I doubt any random distro would be acceptable to the games wanting to enforce anti cheat.

  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • You want to be sure if the integrity of the binaries that are running. That needs a chain of trust from firmware to user space.

  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • Kernel access isn't needed if they use signed boot and can verify everything running is what it should be.

    Jump

  • Ah yes, found the drop down. Thanks.

  • How a joke sound defined 90s rave

    Jump

  • Weird, opening in Pipe Pipe it seems to be some sort of Arabic. I wonder if I'm getting some weird auto-dub?

  • How a joke sound defined 90s rave

    Jump

  • Has this been dubbed into a different language?

  • Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training?

    Jump

  • Free software licenses generally don't restrict what kind of study or what kind of changes you can make. A lot of licences explicitly say "for any purpose". There are licences that add additional restrictions, for example restricting the field of use to non-military, but they are not free software licenses.

    ETA: the question of where liability lies for infringing terms of a source license occur should a LLM model launder for example GPL code into a propriety code base is something that will have to be decided by the courts.

  • Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training?

    Jump

  • Freedom 1 of the four software freedoms is:

    The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

  • Removed

    How could we go about making a jurisdiction where advertising is illegal?

    Jump

  • We already have those, for example in the UK the ASA is a self regulatory body which prohibits deceptive advertising. They can also refer cases to statutory authorities such as Ofcom or Trading Standards.

    YMMV in other jurisdictions.

  • I don't think anyone will be shipping CHERI this year. However I suspect a lot of ideas from it will make it's way into Arm and RISCV architecture enhancements.
