They seem to go with Android-style alphabetic order code names instead of pointed numbers (4.1, 4.2...) and drop "B" for some reason (which is creating this confusion.)

What would be the computing cost to go through the book (or the course)? Do you need Cloud GPUs, or can this be run locally, if so how powerful your computer has to be?
I've been wondering about getting a PC to poke around LLM stuff (not a practical use, but more for learning purposes) but I don't have any intuition about how much is enough and whether it is worth it to me.

Trivia: They did it locally at their home town Mountain View (in much smaller scale), then realized that they didn't need that land, and now are planting them back.

That's why I mentioned "non-model" quality. Although it's getting harder to tell harness quality from model quality, my impression was Muse is just lacking to deliver their ambition.

I worry how buggy their app is. I love their model but Meta/Muse has the edge on non-model implementation. Hope this turn out to be false alarm.

One explanation I heard was that it is to avoid slow government certification-like process. New version == another run of certification.

If you work at Meta which is, you know, one of large (aspiring) AI companies, a bit of self awareness might help boost your credibility a bit more.

Despite of the shortcomings, I'm still sticking to Ubuntu. It's boring, and occasionally break things. But at least it's not hostile.
If you use the words like "still" and "at least", there is little enthusiasm. But that's how a long-term relationship looks like I guess.

Can anyone explain the difference between sampling vs mononoke?
Edit: I was too lazy. From the README: "Mononoke is the server built for the Sapling Source Control System"

Re:Linux support is coming to Snapdragon X2 Series

Android phones don't need (and often don't have) upstreamed "drivers". They use qualcomm's closed-source code. Also, Android user land driver (HAL) isn't useful for non-Android Linux distros.

If the upstream is properly done (that is a big if), this can be a go-to choice for the Linux laptop because it has much smaller config variations compared to Intel-based laptops: Everything from wifi (and even modem?), to audio, to camera ISP is included in the single SoC. If it works it works.

I'm not sure it's a bad thing.
If you spend a long time with C++ code base you'll be able to decipher the otherwise-unreadable compiler errors pretty quickly, and I'd consider it a skill.

But "(Last updated: Aug 2026)" and I was not able to find this text anymore.
I wonder if they took vc money after all. I guess not, but still, it seem like to be difficult to live as an independent open source company. Getting a big co as a parent/sponsor is probably the next best thing.

If we program NPUs on Qualcomm-based chips using Mojo, the PC AI programming as a hobby would be getting much more interesting. I wish they don't limit this to the server chips.

Re:Oracle bans AI-generated code from OpenJDK

The post in question: https://openjdk.org/legal/ai
It is 'OpenJDK Interim Policy on Generative AI' and their lawyers are writing the final version, according to this page.
It sounds like a sensible action, given past scars around Java and copyright, plus this is from a big old corp.
That said I personally don't expect that final proposal will end up any better.
