I think it’s mostly maintenance issues, the maintainers being employees of the company that originally wrote and donated the driver, so there’s been a backlog of bugs that have sat unfixed.

This new driver on the other hand builds off the preexisting kernel support for NTFS, and the maintainer seems better equipped to respond to bugs in a timely manner.


Yeah, I bet it’s something to do with a video decoder trying to decode empty data (dropped or corrupted frame, etc.), and the result of that being converted from YCbCr to RGB, it’s too consistent of a failure case.


That’s old school hardware overlays, haven’t really been a thing since XP era Windows.

These days everything is a scene graph with normal texture buffers, and the compositor is responsible for either layering stuff over it or doing direct scanout of that surface.


Ok, but who is making those “open weight” models though? Individuals don’t really have the resources to run these huge scraping operations, so they’re often still corporate releases with fake open source branding.


To me lying implies an intent to deceive, LLMs can’t do that as they have no intentions or understanding of the output they produce.

It’s not lying, because it’s also not telling the truth either, it’s just statistically weighted noise.


Nah, storage is fried.

People always focus on systemd whenever this is posted, but all systemd is saying is that it can’t read the service files when it tries to start something. Earlier on the kernel is complaining about I/O errors as well.


I bet the actual logo display is a full screen browser too, multiple computers each running chrome just to display ads.


By claiming that you own patents on technology used by said format.

The “open royalty free” aspect applies to companies that are a part of the AOMedia group, if you’re not involved with them you’re not covered by the patent grants and restrictions in place, and can charge whatever the courts say is cool.


Depending on the output device it’s still using ALSA underneath (e.g. Bluetooth output instead is given to the BT stack), PipeWire is dealing with managing and routing the audio output rather than actually performing it.


The best part of the article is the very end, even if the site makes it look unrelated.

Avanci’s Video pool and Access Advance’s Video Distribution Patent pool are both now seeking content royalties from streaming services for the use of HEVC, VVC, VP9, and AV1. Access Advance’s rates are capped at roughly $63 million per year, and Avanci has published rates of 1.6% to 2.0% of revenue or $0.12 to $0.15 per user per month.

$4.5 million max for H.264 is rookie numbers vs. the $63 million max for AV1


Yeah, we have mDNS for a reason.

Or even just link the DHCPv6 server to the DNS, that’s the default config in most cases anyway.


tbf it was played straight in Hot Fuzz, Sgt. Angel was right and there was somebody who caused it.


Makes it portable across architectures while also providing sandboxing.

The fedi software I use (GoToSocial) runs both ffmpeg (Sorry, ffmpreg) and sqlite through WASM, also makes it easier to integrate it with Go code apparently.


If there’s slop in the code base, that will be harder to avoid than whole modules that you can just not install.

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.


There’s BlackSky now, the first full outside server setup (Things like relays and PDSs are just smaller components of the larger required stack)

So you know, they’re at 2 total instances currently.


I remember seeing that years ago, wanted to make like a photoresist mask to etch it into metal.

These days you could probably feed it to a laser engraver, get some nice depth on a thicker sheet of e.g. aluminium, would be a nice display piece at least.


It’s not just bug reports; in the last month, AI driven development has actually gone from slop to reliably better than the average human.

Funny, I heard that same claim about 6 months ago.

And I’m sure I’ll hear it again in another 6 months or so.


The laws they’re trying to support require very limited information, but they’re storing far more than that and they’ve actively decided not to protect it properly.

All systemd is storing is the DOB in YYYY-MM-DD format.


iff = “if and only if”

Basically saying the field’s there if you need to comply with the law, but otherwise you don’t need to use it, just like the other fields.


I mean no I don’t believe they’ll do everything but compared to last year AI coding has made leaps and its kind of dumb to imagine technology will not continue to do so.

People have been consistently saying this for over a year at this point and it’s still the same garbage results as always. Just look at the recent Meta and Amazon issues with it producing nonsense and people just taking it at face value for some reason.

The only thing it’s gotten better at is making people rely on it.
