Nanoscale ferroelectric semiconductor could power AI and post-Moore's Law computing on a phone
Research scientists Ding Wang (left) and Ping Wang (right) discuss the growth behavior of the ferroelectric semiconductor deposited using the molecular beam epitaxy system that is visible on the left. The semiconductor could make computing more efficient, enhance AI and enable quantum computing. Ima

A new node init system written in Rust.
In this talk I share the motivation, goals, and architecture of my new project Aurae. Informed by my experience of operating large production platforms I discuss my thesis of how bringing deliberate runtime controls to a node will unlock a new generation of higher order distributed systems.
The audience walks away with an in-depth understanding of the current state of affairs Rust and the Aurae runtime project. We learn about my journey to Rust from working with Go in Kubernetes.
I am an accomplished Go engineer who has made the jump into Rust and I believe my story is worth compiling and sharing with FOSDEM. I believe there will be many like me in the future.
Aurae is on a mission to be the most loved and effective way of managing workloads on a single piece of hardware. My hope is that by bringing a better set of controls to a node, I can unlock brilliant higher order distributed systems in the future.
Aurae takes ownership of all runtime processes on a single piece of hardware like systemd, and provides mTLS encrypted gRPC APIs (Aurae Standard Library) to manage the processes. Aurae has a new style of isolation called "Aurae Cells" that manage cgroups and namespaces directly from pid1. With Aurae Cells the project offers a way to slice up a system using various isolation strategies for enterprise workloads including MicroVMs.

Having just used a company’s chat bot rather unsuccessfully I welcome advancements here | Microsoft will let companies create their own custom versions of ChatGPT, source says
Microsoft is planning to let companies, schools and governments create their own chatbots with OpenAI's ChatGPT for purposes like customer service.
Security and efficiency are key goals in production systems. This begins when we build our application images and look for a suitable base image. So what are good base images and how do distroless images fit into this picture?
The Flatpak package format promises to
bring "the future of apps on Linux", but a Linux distribution like
Fedora already provides packages in its native format—and built
to its specifications. Flatpaks that come from upstream projects may or
may not follow the packaging guidelines, philosophy, and practices so they
exist in their own world, separate from the packages that come directly
from Fedora. But those worlds have
collided to a certain extent over the
past year to two. Recently, a
packager announced their plans to stop packaging the Bottles tool, used for running
Windows programs in Wine-based containers on Linux, in favor of
recommending that Fedora users install the upstream Flatpak.
“There is a decade of bad decisions that got Intel here.“ | Stick a Fork in Them
Intel is in a very bad place. It needs to admit that, especially internally. We are not forecasting Doomsday, but we do think it is time to recognize that Intel will never be the force it once was,…
When Cutting Costs, Don’t Lose Sight of Long-Term Organizational Health
After three years of adapting to disrupted business conditions due to the pandemic, the aftermath of inflation and fears of recession have leaders scrambling to get budgets in line with slower revenue growth. Riddled with the anxiety of making the wrong choices and having to deliver tough news, leaders are often prone to making short-sighted decisions when cutting costs. And when it comes to sustaining the intended outcomes of cut costs, most organizations are abysmal. Rather than grasping at straws or doing what seems “least painful,” these are the turbulent times when leaders must double down on protecting the long-term aspirations and culture of their organization. If you’re facing the need to tighten your belt, the authors present several ways to trim costs — without sacrificing the long-term health of the company.
