Linus Torvalds spoke this week at the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit North America, reports ZDNet — and described how AI is impacting Linux kernel development:

"In the last six months, we've seen a lot more commits," Torvalds noted, estimating that "the last two releases, it's been about 20% more commits than we had in the previous releases over many years....

Лицензии Creative Commons в суде: реальная защита или иллюзия?

Лицензии Creative Commons сыграли большую роль в развитии интернета, но многие до сих пор сомневаются, насколько они работают на практике. Что происходит, когда нарушитель использует CC-фотографию без указания авторства и можно ли взыскать с него компенсацию. Суды рассматривают нарушение лицензий CC как нарушение авторских прав, за которое можно требовать компенсацию. Но размер и реальность этой компенсации зависят от регистрации авторского права, доказанного ущерба и практики конкретной юрисдикции — «автом Read more

[Перевод] MSX на ESP32-S3 с VGA-выходом

По многим критериям ESP32-S3 - это весьма мощный маленький компьютер. Неудивительно, что его используют даже для таких задач, как эмуляция ретро-консолей и тому подобного. В рамках проекта S3-MSX-PC [Иван Сварковский] (Ivan Svarkovsky) пошел еще дальше: он взял компонент MSX из мультисистемного проекта Retro-Go и оптимизировал его под процессорные ядра Xtensa Lx7, установленные в ESP32-S3.

Графы знаний в юридическом домене: эксперимент с LightRAG (продолжение)

Юридический домен требует понимания многочисленных связей между сущностями, рассеянными по множеству документов. Поэтому кажется, что область знаний, организованная таким образом, идеально может быть представлена в виде графа знаний: связи между нормами, прецедентами и понятиями, рассеянными по тысячам документов, наконец-то перестают теряться. Современные фреймворки обещают построить такой граф автоматически, в пару команд. Но между "запуском из коробки" и рабочей аналитической системой на практике лежит. Read more

Один суффикс, чтобы взломать их всех

GCG бормочет абракадаброй, AutoDAN говорит учтиво - но это одна атака: обе уводят модель с единственного «направления отказа», и одна такая строка вскрывает любой запрос даже на моделях, которых не видела.

Scientists Find Wind Blowing From Our Milky Way's Black Hole

After 50 years of searching, astronomers say they have finally found evidence of a long-sought "wind" blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. "Unless a black hole exists in a perfect vacuum, it must blow a wind somehow. And there is no perfect vacuum in the universe," team co-leader and Northwestern University researcher Mark Gorski said in a statement. "With new observations,... Read more
