I would guess cellphone spectrum for direct to device service.

Or combining the two words to get Superficial Intelligence.

It is in a module, so it doesn't create risk for anyone that isn't loading that module. And most distros don't use it by default, you have to go out of you way to configure it.

I do wish distros would start moving more kernel modules into separate packages so it is obvious to security scanners and individual users whether a CVE impacts them or not. I'm sure I've rebooted my computer many times due to kernel packages updates when it probably wasn't needed. And put off security updates for a few days until I was able to reboot, when I could have installed them right away.

The policy is based on what is actually occurring. The Linux security team has had a flood of duplicate reports from AI, so they changed their policy to request that security bugs found by AI be reported on public mailing lists to avoid duplicates. They have not yet seen the same for human found bugs, so the old policy remains in place. It is likely that at some point in the future the AI discovered bugs will be a superset of human discovered ones, but for now humans and AI seem to be better at finding different types of bugs. When/if it does happen, the number of human bugs will taper off to nothing because AI will find them all first, so the policy change will take care of itself.

It is much more common with smartphones. I was never very social and before smartphones when I went to see a show or have dinner, I would always have a paperback in my back pocket and read it between sets or while waiting for food. But I was the exception - usually the only person in the bar reading rather than socializing, and one of a few at a restaurant. Now it isn't uncommon for most people to be on their phones in public.

Since 2021 when they started deploying the v1.5 satellites.

> The kind of person who wants the cheapest possible book moved from mass market paperbacks to e-readers.

When I've looked at ebooks in the past they were usually more expensive than mass market paperback, most often on par with trade paperback. Has this changed?

The fact that another museum tried to avoid giving out scans because the museum felt it would impact their gift shop sales supports the parent's claim about the museum's motivations, not refutes it.

Note that subtree and subrepo have the same SHA-1/SHA-256 incompatibility issue that submodules do, so this will be just as much of a trainwreck for them as well.

Ugh, I didn't know that SHA-1 submodules wouldn't be supported in SHA-256 repos. That changes the transition from painless to a major dumpster fire. Having to maintain converted forks, and use different hashes from upstream is going to be a mess.

They did retroactively change the deal for people who purchased chromebooks between 2024 and now.

> The best way to program GPUs is face up to the reality that they are not the same machine as the CPU, write your kernels in separate files, and launch them manually

Isn't that how CUDA code is normally written?

This administration has done nothing to end or undermine the antitrust cases against Google. In both cases the judges found Google in violation of antitrust law, but both handed down fairly mild remedies, despite the administration (prosecutor) pushing for much stronger changes. The judges were appointed by Clinton (Leonie Brinkema) and Obama (Amit Mehta).
