                                              RT @HyperTechInvest: AMD hat ein hochmodernes, vollständig offenes Modell veröffentlicht, das ausschließlich auf MI300X- und MI325X-GPUs mit ROCm Instella-MoE trainiert wurde. Es handelt sich um ein Mixture-of-Experts-Modell mit 16 Milliarden Parametern, das pro Token nur 2,8 Milliarden Parameter aktiviert, wodurch die Inference-Kosten gesenkt werden, während es mit dichten und MoE-Modellen mit ähnlichen oder größeren aktiven Parameteranzahlen wettbewerbsfähig bleibt. Das Modell unterstützt ein 64K-Kontextfenster und wurde in sechs Phasen trainiert, von der Vorabtrainierung bis zum Reinforcement Learning. AMD führte zudem zwei neue Effizienztechniken ein: Gated Multi-head Latent Attention, das unwichtige Attention-Ausgaben filtert, sowie FarSkip-Collective, das Kommunikation und Berechnung überlappt, wodurch die Pre-Training-Geschwindigkeit um 12,7 % steigt und die Time-to-First-Token um bis zu 39,2 % reduziert wird.

                                                                                                                      But they do not automatically inherit the conversations, rejected approaches, incident learnings, or constraints that shaped the implementation.

                                                                                                                      Keep the Why is an agent skill that captures this reasoning as a natural by-product of development.

                                                                                                                      It stores the relevant context as versioned Markdown inside the project, making it directly available to every developer and agent working with the same repository.

I do not trust him one bit. What is there to gain and why on earth would he do that? I would be glad if he does, I am curious to know how they have weighted their algorithms and messed up their features.

                                                                                                                            PyPI has introduced a new safeguard that rejects uploads of new files to package releases older than 14 days. This helps prevent attackers who compromise a maintainer’s account or publishing pipeline from silently adding malicious files to a long-trusted package version months after it was released.

                                                                                                                            While this doesn’t eliminate all supply chain threats, it significantly reduces the risk of “package poisoning” attacks against pinned dependencies and encourages immutable releases, a security best practice every ecosystem should strive for.

                                                                                                                            Security isn’t about a single silver bullet, it’s about layering defenses that make attacks increasingly difficult.

Wenn der Wettbewerbsvorteil eines LLMs gegenüber einem anderen schwindet – insbesondere wenn Open-Source-Modelle expandieren – wird sich die Wertproposition auf die neuro/symbolischen Harnesses verlagern, die diese Modelle nutzen, also Strukturen, die Agents, Agent-Orchestrierung, Tooling und Komponenten-Plugins umfassen. Selbst die von Frontier-AI-Organisationen werden von Open-Source-Frameworks verdrängt. Das Letzte, was übrig bleibt, sind diejenigen, die die Rechenzentren beherrschen, auf denen diese Systeme laufen, und selbst das wird zur Commodity, wobei die Anzahl der Akteure auf wenige Überlebende schrumpft. Auch sie werden Druck spüren: Da die Rechenleistung steigt, werden immer mehr solcher Systeme lokal betrieben.

Fedora recognized all my hardware perfectly right out of the box, and everything works great!

                                                                                                                                                                                                            I’ve had very different experiences with my various mini-PCs made in Chinese factories using child labor, especially with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards...

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Thunderbolt 4 is also recognized correctly, as are all devices connected to it. That didn’t work at all or only partially with the others (for example, the monitor only worked via the USB-C port on the monitor, but there was no image via the monitor’s Thunderbolt port; when the Logitech receiver was connected through the monitor, the mouse movements and keyboard inputs were choppy, etc.). But here: problem-free and fast via a single Thunderbolt 4 cable!

                                                                                                                                                                                                            The installation was done in a few minutes - that’s Linux for you. A Windows installation takes many hours for this… and then you’re left with nothing but spyware and ads on your computer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Conclusion: Asus NUC 16 Pro - highly recommended for every Linux user!

Para esto de momento uso Homepage (gethomepage.dev/). Así centralizo el acceso y vistazo rápido a todos los servicios en un solo lugar. Es ligero y sin bases de datos (config. en YAML), tiene Widgets integrados para monitorear contenedores, varios servicios y métricas del sistema y el despliegue es muy fácil. A futuro tal vez evalúe otras opciones, pero de momento Homepage resuelve muy bien lo que buscaba.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.
