RT @Italianclownz: Ich arbeite an einem separaten iu4-Code, der ausschließlich auf ROCmFPX unter Strix Halo funktioniert. Ich werde ihn schrittweise veröffentlichen; er wurde bereits auf RDNA 3.5 getestet. Theoretisch sollte er auf jeder AMD-Hardware funktionieren, die über einen iu4-Pfad verfügt. Dieser Code entstand in Zusammenarbeit zwischen Claude Code (hauptsächlich) und mir. Das Ziel war es sicherzustellen, dass ROCmFPX ebenfalls einen iu4-Pfad nutzen kann, falls dieser auf der AMD-Hardware vorhanden ist. Es handelt sich um experimentellen Code, der langsam unter der MIT-Lizenz zusammengeführt wird. Er sollte direkt innerhalb von ROCmFPX laufen, jedoch gibt es einen Quantisierungspfad, falls benötigt, der als ROCmi4 bezeichnet wird. @ciruai hat ebenfalls einen eigenen Ansatz erstellt, der einen separaten Runner verwendet und zusätzliche Funktionen mit Sidecars bietet, was ich gespannt ausprobieren möchte. Sein Ansatz nutzt ebenfalls einige ROCmFPX-Codebestandteile (auf der Quantisierungsseite). Der iu4-Pfad in ROCmFPX ist jedoch fundamental anders: keine Sidecars, kein separater Runner. Wir befinden uns in den aufregendsten Zeiten der Technologie und KI, da so viele Menschen daran arbeiten, sie für alle besser zu machen. Ich wurde von vielen Menschen motiviert und inspiriert: Tom Turney (Turboquant), PK (Cyber Security), Paris (unterstützt meine Ideen immer), Ciru (Inferenz-Meister), Sandro (Luce Box), Davide (Luce Box), Donato (Genie), Mr R0b0t0 Ahmad, alle ROCmFPX-Mitwirkenden und viele weitere.

RT @Dan_Jeffries1: Prediction: There's a 65% chance that the strongest model available to you by the end of 2026 will be open source. There's a 75% probability it'll be Chinese model unless Reflection comes out swinging like Tyson or Meta really goes hard into open source again to round out the percentages. Oh don't get me wrong. If it goes like this, closed source American labs will still have better models. You just won't be able to use them. You'll read about them on Lab blogs. Why? Because they scared the government and regular people so much that they can't release them and so those models will be locked behind closed doors. The only wild card here that keeps this prediction from being something like 75% is Elon and Grok and his massive reach and single handed power to raise capital, buy businesses and apparently train amazing models. He alone seems able to buck the trend on data center building and has enough power to say, yeah, I am not submitting to the "voluntary" testing regime. But he is likely to get tangled up in whatever non-voluntary one is coming and be a target for it too. So Elon is our wild card. As usual it seems like the entire American innovation system, from space to data centers to clean electric cars stems from one guy and that's just not a wonderful thing for us. We need a dozen daring doers to ensure the next American century. All this is incredibly bad for American AI. There is no current business model that does not involve selling lots and lots of tokens to 100Ms of businesses. The models are not yet strong enough to own to create a British East India style super…

RT @Itsfoss: Linus Torvalds hat gerade KI eingesetzt, um einen Bug im Linux-Kernel zu beheben. Dies ist ein seltenes Ereignis. Selten, weil Torvalds nicht mehr am Linux-Kernel codet. Er prüft nur noch Code und merged Pull Requests von Contributoren. Daher ist dies ein seltener Anlass in jüngster Zeit, an dem er selbst einen Kernel-Patch erstellt hat. Und diesmal hat er sich von KI assistieren lassen. Der Bug befand sich im Intel-Xe-Grafiktreiber für Battlemage-G21-Karten. Er verursachte, dass GDM, der Display-Manager, sich endlos neu startete. Die Fehlersuche erforderte 24 Debug-Patches und 18 Kernel-Boots. Als Ursache entpuppte sich eine einzelne Zeile, in der roundup() statt rounddown() stehen sollte. Die KI „hat die Schuftarbeit für Torvalds erledigt": Debug-Instrumentierung hinzugefügt, Analysen durchgeführt und sogar die finale Commit-Nachricht verfasst. Doch es war nicht alles ein leichtes Unterfangen. Die KI sagte Linus immer wieder, dass das Problem „unmöglich und unlösbar" sei. Jedes Mal widersprach Linus und ging weiter. In seinen Worten: „Ich vermute, dass diese Dinge von Menschen trainiert wurden, die vielleicht nicht ganz so stur sind wie ich." Das ist genau das, was wir immer sagen. KI ist nur ein Werkzeug und sie ist im Wesentlichen dann nützlich, wenn ein fähiger Mensch den Prozess steuert. Überlässt man ihr ihre eigenen Schlussfolgerungen, würde sie diesen Bug als unkorrigierbar bezeichnen und sich abwenden. Aber Linus Torvalds hat Erfahrung. Er konnte verstehen, was die KI richtig oder falsch machte. Der Patch ist nun in Linux 7.3 und wurde in stabile Kernel-Zweige zur…

GAAS - Git as a Storage
Im sure im not the first consider this approach, but i would like to share a demo for clarity and transparancy. No need to debug, its far from finished and there is much to do.
Im working on a P2P messaging app and generally up until recently i thought in such a system, if a peer is offline, you cant send a message... It wouldnt be "decentralized" if there was some central queue of messages.
It took embarassingly long, but then it hit me... git... just regular git is a decentralized database. Github/Forgejo isnt decentralized, but git can have multiple remotes that can act as redundencies.
In my setup i need the ability for others to be abe to read and only i should be able to write to it. That functionality is out-of-the-box in git.
Git is also pretty standardized so there are many providers if users want to move away from Github.
The storage requirements for my project are fairly small. Typically small text messages. The data itself thats publicly readable would be encrypted (aiming to keep aligned to Kerkhoffs principles).
Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/git
Demo: https://positive-intentions.github.io/git/demo/gui/git/storage
There is much more to improve and consider there for things like encrypting the data at rest.
I have concerns around if providers like GitHub, Codeberg and Gitlab might see the way my app works as fundamentally violating their terms-of-service. I'll have to consider providing a backend service for this which I've generally tried to avoid.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is open source for transparency, testing and demo purposes only. it is still a work in progress and far from finished. You should not use it on any sensitive repositories. There WILL BE breaking changes. Use responsibly.

I like that TuxedoOS has decided to shift towards supporting a community based distro, such as Debian.
So with TuxedoOS migrating to Debian, I wonder if Linux Mint will start to prioritize development of LMDE over standard Ubuntu based LM.

Pixel 11 Pro: Developer enhances HiLight function

I received my #PineNote from @pine64 yesterday evening.
I've not had much time to play with it yet. But I'm looking forward to do that.
First general impression:
But it seems to require some work to get apt update and apt upgrade working smooth. The images installed seemed to be quite out-to-date and several PGP keys used to verify packages was out of date. And there were some issues with the /usr symlink move. So the base install is very premature. Some hacking time will be needed to get it into a more proper shape.
The documentation both on paper and the pre-installed help docs is very scarce on details. And quite some details were even not correct.
Overall impression currently is that the PineNote is not a device I would recommend to non-technical people at all. But it feels like a very capable device for those who likes hacking and don't mind some "rough edges".
I do see this as a device which I should be able to tweak into a pretty functional device with some time. And I'm looking forward to that.

@aurynn I too **really** dislike Electron apps 🙄 , but when we look at all the native #OpenSource widget sets - it's so brutally difficult to like any of them as the one awesome native widget set to adopt and love. Like no clear winner ever, ever emerges, as the decades roll by.
QT? GTK? wx? "Dear ImGui"? Tk? Flutter? They all have their reasons to dislike.
My favorite - and you'll probably think I'm nuts - is #Python's "textual" TUI widget set. Yes, TUI, not GUI.

Account migration on pixelfed.social is disabled. I hit bugs in the flow and chose to pull it rather than let people run into them.
It’s temporary, and account portability is not something I take lightly.
Meanwhile I’m setting loops aside to give pixelfed the year it deserves: new mobile app, new web ui, improved federation, and a much faster backend.
Thanks for the patience. It’s one person over here, and I’d rather be slow than sloppy.
