OpenAI is terrified (there's finally a great open source LLM)

EA-1 and BassStation are really the only legit Goa leads ;-)

303 is overrated...

Process specific ABI (psABI) specification can take dozens of pages in total. For RISC-V the spec has 95 pages. It is not ergonomic to print it all, so what to print out?

I usually print just the section enumerating the relocation's. It is the nastiest differentiatior and the part one is most likely continue to revisit forever after 🙂 For RISC-V that totals six pages.

Maybe less Nazi salutes would help with a more positive turn?

A random pick from this years FOSDEM keynotes.

"What FLOSS Means in the AI World"

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5495-what-floss-means-in-the-ai-world/

From description:

'"Mozilla has been doing extensive work in the AI ecosystem by defining a principled approach to AI that prioritizes transparency, ethics, and community-driven innovation."

Some highlights of Mozilla from the past year time window:

1. https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/mozilla-stands-by-its-controversial-privacy-feature-but-ready-to-clear-up-confusion
2. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/11/21363424/mozilla-layoffs-quarter-staff-250-people-new-revenue-focus
3. https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/24/mozilla_product_chief_sues_over/
4. https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/18/mozilla_buys_anonym_betting_privacy/


Right but I get it. Mitchell Baker is only an employee with almost eight figure (in 2022 $7 000 000), not evil billionaire, and a true contributor to the open source.

This should highlight how hypocritical the campaign against Jack Dorsey has been.

I would not put high hopes on Mozilla's AI story TBH ;-) 🍿

I cannot even imagine what kind of "best of keynote speakers" list I could collect if I enumerated every keynote speaker from every FOSDEM ever organized...

OK sorry about FOSDEM rants. I just have zero-tolerance for hypocrisy.

I would get a position that "I don't want to visit OSS conferences because they are dominated by the evil corps AND Microsoft does not actually love Linux even tho they've made a marketing campaign that says so" ;-)

In this context I would get even protesting against Jack Dorsey...

These people should spent some time AWAY from computer TBH.

As far as I'm concerned I never ever want to visit at FOSDEM. I hate when people are not absolutely sound in their moral and ethical values.

https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/18/jack-dorsey-talk-at-fosdem-2025-may-lead-to-protest/

That said my "protest" does not really count as I dislike tech conferences anyhow ;-) Just want to emphasize to ultimate stupidity in this whole matter.

Anyone involved with this ridiculous protest: you should be ashamed of yourself.

In a conference where Microsoft, Google and Meta employees are giving talks, Jack Dorsey and Block Inc. is the prime evil :-)

A #vim thing that I tend to forget.

q: in normal mode gives you a buffer containing the history of ex command-lines for the sake of convenient copy-paste.

Does SDL 3.x do immediate mode GUI like for plugins and stuff? I.e. similarly as egui and imgui (with appropriate backends)?

how an interns attempts to familiarize themselves with a codebase, and spice up the comments resulting in finding a major security vulnerability. Via Reddit, via 🤷‍♀️

One more existential reason for v4l2-loopback: testing video4linux features other than v4l2-loopback.

It is always nice to have a module in the stack that can pretend to be a piece of hardware in various end-to-end tests.

Just writing these down so that I can make a credible cover letter at the time :-)

I did this one big refactor few days ago: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/commit/?h=v4l2-loopback&id=ccb1b6e1247887be17bf22b3809c50848e87a4db

I'm still editing it up until I'm happy with capture/output separation and some other things related (e.g. life-cycle and removal).

Obviously once I sent a patch set I will squash everything before sending...
