Pete Zaitcev: Floating Point
Until now I didn't think of it, but apparently AI is all in FP. And it reminded me how I worked in a CPU design place, where they had a group focused on FP. Those guys were doing FP since the days of transistor. They migrated their designs, generation by generation, through TTL, ECL, Bi-CMOS, CMOS. When I heard from them last, they were tinkering with "deep sub-micron".
One remarkable part about their thing was that because they started out in transistors, their FPU didn't have any microcode. It was all in hardware. Even divisions! Just a bunch of counters that sequenced whatever necessary.
For a long time during the reign of x86, the group was somewhat de-prioritized, because many microprocessors at the time treated FP performance as an afterthought. A number of desktop CPUs shipped with no hardware FP at all. But look how the tables have turned. I honestly hope that it was not too late and AI has become a boon for the successors of my past colleagues.

Catanzaro: Fedora must (carefully) embrace Flathub
GNOME and Fedora contributor Michael Catanzaro has written a lengthy blog post about the future of Fedora Workstation as an image-based release and the need to enable Flathub by default. He writes that the Fedora Workstation of the future must be "safe and image-based by default", with applications provided through Flathub:
Flathub is drastically more popular than Fedora Flatpaks even among the most hardcore Fedora community members who participate in change proposal debate on Fedora Discussion. (At time of writing, nearly 80% of discussion participants favor filtering out Fedora Flatpaks.)
This is the most important point. Flathub has already won.
He notes that Fedora should not force users to install an image-based OS if they do not want to, and there will be a package-based version for users who prefer or require it: "so no need to panic".
Google launches OSS Rebuild
Our aim with OSS Rebuild is to empower the security community to deeply understand and control their supply chains by making package consumption as transparent as using a source repository. Our rebuild platform unlocks this transparency by utilizing a declarative build process, build instrumentation, and network monitoring capabilities which, within the SLSA Build framework, produces fine-grained, durable, trustworthy security metadata. [...]
Our vision extends beyond any single ecosystem: We are committed to bringing supply chain transparency and security to all open source software development. Our initial support for the PyPI (Python), npm (JS/TS), and Crates.io (Rust) package registries—providing rebuild provenance for many of their most popular packages—is just the beginning of our journey.
