sjvn/ZDNETHong Kong: At The Linux Foundation's KubeCon and Open Source Summit China conference, Linus Torvalds and his buddy Dirk Hohndel, Verizon's Head of the Open Source Program Office, once more chatted about Linux development and related issues to the delight of their audience. As usual, the pair talked about the current state and future of the Linux kernel. In particular, their conversation

Meta to release open-source commercial AI model to compete with OpenAI and Google Developers could use the open-source LLM to build generative AI applications, like ChatGPT, for startups or established businesses. Josh Edelson/AFP via Getty ImagesMeta, formerly known as Facebook, is set to release a commercial version of LLaMA, its open-source large language model (LLM) that uses artificial intell

Getting Linux to run on the M1 family wasn't easy. When these high-powered ARM chips first arrived, Torvalds told me in an exclusive interview that he'd like to run Linux on these next-generation Macs. But, while he'd been "waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time," he worried, saying, "The main problem with the M1 for me is the GPU and other devices around it because that's li

ChatGPT is 'not particularly innovative,' and 'nothing revolutionary', says Meta's chief AI scientist The public perceives OpenAI's ChatGPT as revolutionary, but the same techniques are being used and the same kind of work is going on at many research labs, says the deep learning pioneer.

The Zero Day Initiative originally rated this Linux 5.15 in-kernel SMB server, ksmbd, bug a perfectly awful 10. isak55 -- ShutterstockJust what every Linux system administrator wants just before the holidays: A serious Linux kernel security bug.

So we should all be concerned that Mark Cox, a Red Hat Distinguished Software Engineer and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s VP of Security, this week tweeted, "OpenSSL 3.0.7 update to fix Critical CVE out next Tuesday 1300-1700UTC." How bad is "Critical"? According to OpenSSL, an issue of critical severity affects common configurations and is also likely exploitable. It's likely to be abused

Meta's AI guru LeCun: Most of today's AI approaches will never lead to true intelligence Fundamental problems elude many strains of deep learning, says LeCun, including the mystery of how to measure information. "I think AI systems need to be able to reason," says Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist. Today's popular AI approaches such as Transformers, many of which build upon his own pioneering

As Kurtzer, CEO of HPC company CIQ and founder of the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation (RESF), Rocky Linux's parent organization, explained, "When we release any version of Rocky Linux, it is more than just a bunch of binaries, package repositories, and installers. But, with version 9, CIQ has created a completely cloud-native build stack called Peridot, which we have given to the RESF and rel

The object? No less than a comprehensive clean-up and rework of the Linux kernel's header hierarchy and header dependencies. Linux contains many header, .h, files. To be exact there are about 10,000 main .h headers in the Linux kernel with the include/ and arch/*/include/ hierarchies. As Molnar explained, "Over the last 30+ years they have grown into a complicated & painful set of cross-dependenci

AMD was the first to come out with its proposed changes in February 2021: AMD Supervisor Entry Extensions. Intel followed in March with its flexible return and event delivery (FRED) design. What sparked Torvald's interest was when someone on the Real World Technologies deep technology conversation forum introduced the topic with the note: "x86 - why unite when you can fragment?" Torvalds, however,

The ISRG says it plans to develop a new module called mod_tls that will do the same thing but using the Rust programming language rather than C. The module will be based on Rustls; a Rust open-source library developed as an alternative to the C-based OpenSSL project. To lead this work, the ISRG management has contracted Stefan Eissing, the founder of software consultancy firm Greenbytes, and one o

Windows RDP servers running on UDP port 3389 can be ensnared in DDoS botnets and abused to bounce and amplify junk traffic towards victim networks. Cybercrime gangs are abusing Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) systems to bounce and amplify junk traffic as part of DDoS attacks, security firm Netscout said in an alert on Tuesday. Not all RDP servers can be abused, but only systems where RDP aut

While the Foundation has issued several Linux kernel history reports before, this one is unique. That's because, thanks to the work of Dr. Daniel German and his cregit tool, it's now possible to track all three of the kernels' different development stages: Pre-version control, September 1991 until February 4, 2002;  BitKeeper, February 4, 2002 to April 15, 2005; and git, April 16, 2005 to today.
