Is this open-source or open-weights ML?

Whats the training data for this?

The next level of parking enshittification is pay-by-license-plate, which is starting to become widespread here in Perth, Australia, even for locations that are free parking, and locations that have parking machines. Surveillance just ratchets upwards.

The AI companies claim that training is fair use, so no license can prevent what is happening with AIs. It would require a clarification in copyright law that AI models are considered derivative works, and that AI generated code is a derivative work of the model and the prompt. That seems unlikely to ever happen though.

Maybe something with dependent typing like Idris2 or a future Haskell release?

I think Catalyst has an Australian presence too (and UK/CA):

Hmm, seems the tweet got deleted?

Probably SerNet or one of the Samba Commercial Support companies like Catalyst:

Or https://www.fsf.org/resources/jobs/fsf-engineering-and-certi...

Which consultancy was that?

Some of this remote stuff might interest you:

Would be great to get this into mainline Linux.

Thunderbird is basically a web reader already though right? Its based on HTML and JS mostly.

Browsers can often delete/reject cookies, might be a better option than relying on websites to be ethical.

Which licenses do that?

The LWN comments say that you are correct for local AIs (but not LLM services), modulo some caveats about compiler flags and hardware used.

rnnoise is now a free AI model for removing noise from audio. Firefox ships with Bergamot, which is a set of (probably) free AI models for translating between human languages. There might be other ones too, but I haven't looked very far.

Which hardware is it flagging issues for? Specific Intel CPUs? AMD? ARM? RISC-V?

Why not just vibe code an engine?

RMS fought for user freedom, not to destroy copyright. Copyleft wasn't to neutralize copyright, but to ensure user freedom for downstream users.

Wonder if SFC will win the right to replace the OS on their Vizio TVs so no account is needed.

Wikipedia says PTP uses UDP, that is network traffic? or did you mean Internet traffic?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol

Edit: ah, you are talking about virtual PTP, which is presumably PTP to the hypervisor instead of network servers. The hypervisor would then keep its own time in sync using GPS, network PTP or NTP.

Capital costs will when there is a war over Taiwan though.

Another thing to look up here is the bootstrappable.org community. They started at the software layer, how to create binaries from scratch without using any existing binaries. They are also interested in the hardware layer too.

Look up bunnie's talks about hardware security, its basically impossible, there are too many parts to the chain leading up to the end user holding hardware in their hands that are all attackable.

The firmware implementing TPM functionality, which definitely exists in at least some cases:

For ASIC-only devices, the keys are burned-in, which is user-hostile too.

I think the same copyright concerns apply when working with binaries, which is why clean-room reverse-engineering was invented in the first place. So that no disassembled/decompiled code could be copied into the newly created codebase.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-room_design

It would be a combination of reverse engineering and clean rooming, assisted with FOSS tools and LLMs; run NSA Ghidra to decompile the binary, LLM-clean the output code, LLM-generate the clean-room spec, LLM-verify the clean-room spec is not copyright infringing, LLM-generate code from the clean-room spec.

A service can never provide digital sovereignty, by definition.

Which x86 devices ship with a free UEFI/ACPI? Or even allow users to replace the preinstalled UEFI/ACPI with a free one?

Telemetry should be a choice at startup, not on by default or off by default.
