AI hits the Human Wall

In an interview, Anthropic's Daniela Amodei suggested that AI deployments "might hit a wall because of human reasons." This post summarizes my views on the new Human Wall, based on my more detailed discussion of the interview in which Anthropic's president also touches on the outdated AGI concept, the discontinuation of exponentials, and the AI bubble.

📰 My Raspberry Pi is at its best when it does exactly one thing

I lost track of how many times Jellyfin buffered while I tried to turn on my smart lights. How many times have I noticed the LED blinking frantically on my Raspberry Pi’s case. How many times SSH would stop responding, and I had to walk over to perform a hard reset. And I thought it was normal.

📰 Transparent Hugepage Performance On Linux 6.18 LTS: Madvise vs. Always

With some Linux distributions like Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu defaulting to "madvise" Transparent Hugepages (THP) while others like CachyOS and openSUSE defaulting to "always", you may be curious about the madvise vs. always THP difference in modern Linux environments. If so this round of benchmarking is for you in looking at the performance impact of madvise vs. always THP.

Bazaar (Desktop Flathub App) Gets Considered Updates

If you use Flathub on Ubuntu you likely already use (or at least know of) Bazaar, a GTK4/libadwaita frontend that makes it trivial to search, manage and update Flatpak apps from this popular repo. Bazaar gets updated frequently (I’ve covered some updates in my monthly Linux App Release Roundup series). In the past few weeks the app has been update with further improvements, features and design tweaks. Chief among them, a new app icon. I know everyone cares about icons as much as I do, but a well designed icon with a clear metaphor (and, ideally, some colour to keep […]

Планы по улучшению Linux-драйверов для GPU AMD семейств GCN 1.x

Тимур Кристоф (Timur Kristóf), один из субподрядчиков фирмы Valve, представил планы по улучшению поддержки видеокарт AMD семейства GCN 1.0 "Southern Island" и 1.1 "Sea Islands". В прошлом году драйвер AMDGPU был доведён до паритета по возможностям с драйвером Radeon для семейств видеокарт GCN 1.x и активирован по умолчанию в кодовой базе ядра Linux 6.19, релиз которого намечен на февраль. Карты GCN 1.x выпускались с 2012 по 2019 год и охватывают такие модели, как Radeon HD 77xx/78xx/79xx/87xx/88xx/89xx, Radeon R9 280, FirePro W4000-W9000, Radeon Sky 700/900, Radeon R9 265/270/370, Radeon R9 290/390, HD 7790 / 8870 и иные видеокарты семейств Radeon Rx 200 / Rx 300.

Содержимое AOSP отныне будет обновляться только два раза в год - во втором и четвёртом кварталах. Ранее Google практиковал ежеквартальную публикацию кода.

CES 2026 appears to be the coming out party for WiFi 8 hardware… which is kind of weird because the WiFi 8 specification isn’t expected to be finalized for a few more years.

В GNOME и Firefox отключают вставку из буфера обмена по ПКМ

По словам разработчиков:

Это малоизвестная функция и поведение, которые приводят к путанице у пользователей, когда они нажимают среднюю кнопку мыши, не зная о её функциональности. В большинстве случаев это также происходит случайно, и в такие моменты очень странно видеть, как содержимое буфера обмена вставляется само по себе.


Кроме того, эта функция совершенно неочевидна для обнаружения, и даже на странице wiki Freedesktop вся концепция выделения «PRIMARY» упоминается как «пасхалка».



Корректное поведение можно описать следующим образом: CLIPBOARD работает так же, как буфер обмена в macOS или Windows — он изменяется только при явном копировании/вырезании.
PRIMARY — это «пасхалка» для опытных пользователей; обычные пользователи могут просто игнорировать его: по умолчанию он вставляется только по щелчку средней кнопкой мыши.


Иными словами, «корректным» поведением в Mozilla считают поведение «как в Windows».
Пока что способ «вернуть как было» в Firefox не объявлен.
C другой стороны, в GNOME желание удалить эту функциональность вызвано стремлением удалить все X11-специфичные фичи:

This is an X11ism, originally an xsetting 1
which frequently results is in unexpected behavior
when people pressing the middle mouse button. Goodbye X11.

На данный момент эта функциональность будет отключена по умолчанию. Ожидается, что эти настройки будут удалены в будущем:
GNOME:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true
