We have early access to Android Security Bulletin patches and will be able to set up a workflow where we can have releases already built and tested prior to the embargo ending.

Apple's new Live Translation feature for AirPods will be off-limits to millions of European users when it arrives next week, with strict EU regulations likely holding back its rollout. Apple says on its feature availability webpage that "Apple Intelligence: Live Translation with AirPods" won't be available if both the user is physically in the EU and their Apple Account region is in the EU.

KDE Linux 发布与概述

在Akademy 2025大会上，KDE项目发布了其自有发行版 KDE Linux 的alpha版本。该系统旨在成为KDE软件最佳实现的载体，面向家庭、商业及OEM使用，但目前处于早期测试阶段，存在诸多不完善之处。

开发背景与目标

• KDE Linux的开发始于“香蕉项目”，由Harald Sitter领导，多位贡献者参与。
• KDE作为大型自由软件生产者，希望拥有自有的分发平台。KDE Linux被视为对现有KDE neon项目的演进，neon因基于Ubuntu LTS而面临技术老化和维护负担。
• KDE Linux是一个全新的、基于不可变设计的发行版，利用较新技术构建，不受传统通用发行版需求的限制。

技术架构特点

• 基础与构建：以Arch Linux包为基础，但并非传统Arch派生版。系统核心使用KDE Builder从源码编译，应用主要通过Flatpak分发。
• 桌面环境：仅支持Wayland会话，不计划支持X.org。对部分旧NVIDIA显卡需手动配置。
• 启动方式：仅支持UEFI系统，无BIOS支持计划。
• 文件系统：根文件系统(``)为可读写的Btrfs，/usr为只读的EROFS卷。系统通过替换EROFS卷进行原子更新，目前缓存最近5个卷以供回滚。
• 更新机制：使用systemd-sysupdate，但暂不支持增量更新，更新文件较大（约4.8GB），需预留较多磁盘空间。
• 软件管理：不包含传统包管理器。用户无法向基础系统添加软件包。应用安装主要通过：
  • Flatpak：通过Discover图形工具管理。
  • Snap：支持但未与Discover集成，需使用命令行工具。
  • Distrobox：允许在容器中安装其他发行版的软件并与系统集成（但当前版本存在Podman配置问题）。
• 默认软件：包含Gwenview、Okular、Haruna、Kate、Konsole等KDE应用，以及Firefox。基础系统包含较新版本的工具链（如Linux 6.16.5, GCC 15.2.1等），但缺少一些常见工具（如Emacs, tmux等）。
• 自定义与构建：基础镜像不可由用户直接定制，但项目使用mkosi工具构建，提供了配置参考。

现状与已知问题

• 当前为alpha版本，存在粗糙边缘和缺失功能。
• 系统更新需手动管理Distrobox容器内的应用。
• 缺乏安全公告邮件列表等通知机制，安全更新需依赖Arch Linux打包后才能集成，存在延迟。
• 由于无传统包管理器，难以全面盘点系统已安装软件。

未来计划

• 版本规划：计划推出三个版本：
  1. 测试版：每日从Git构建，面向开发者和质量保证人员（当前即为该版本）。
  2. 爱好者版：包含测试版或正式版软件，面向KDE爱好者和高级用户。
  3. 稳定版：仅包含通过质量指标发布的正式软件。
• 开发重点：正在将构建基础设施迁移到KDE官方设施，并计划减少对Arch用户仓库的依赖。
• 项目治理：采用“长老理事会”模式，主要贡献者为长老，Harald Sitter在争议时拥有最终决定权。
• 终止预案：若项目终止，计划推送一个最终更新，将系统转换为另一个预定的发行版（具体待定）。

意义与展望 KDE Linux体现了KDE开发者希望直接向用户交付软件的愿望，同时也是对构建和维护广泛使用的桌面发行版复杂性的一次实践。无论其最终是否成功独立，都将为理解主流发行版面临的挑战提供参考。

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token. What might be more surprising is that even when we adjust the temperature down to 0This means that the LLM always chooses the highest probability token, which is called greedy sampling. (thus making the sampling theoretically deterministic), LLM APIs are still not deterministic in practice (see past discussions here, here, or here). Even when running inference on your own hardware with an OSS inference library like vLLM or SGLang, sampling still isn’t deterministic (see here or here).

The workflow that's changing how software gets built.

pgEdge公司已将其分布式PostgreSQL核心组件的许可证从限制性的“pgEdge社区许可证”转变为开源的PostgreSQL许可证，该许可证已获得开源倡议组织的批准。

关键变更与组件：

• 核心组件开源： 包括名为Spock的复制引擎，以及Snowflake（提供集群范围唯一序列值）和Lolor（支持大对象逻辑复制）等关键扩展。
• 许可证变更： 原有的“源代码可用”但限制使用的许可模式已终止，新许可模式遵循PostgreSQL许可证，允许用户自由使用、修改和分发。
• 技术聚焦： pgEdge专注于分布式PostgreSQL，特别是多主复制技术。

使用方式：

• 开发者/贡献者： 可通过GitHub仓库（如 spock、snowflake、lolor）获取源码并参与开发。
• 终端用户/生产部署： 提供云平台、容器及虚拟机等多种托管或部署选项，无需自行编译。

The Perseverance rover has explored and sampled igneous and sedimentary rocks within Jezero Crater to characterize early Martian geological processes and habitability and search for potential biosignatures1–7. Upon entering Neretva Vallis, on Jezero Crater’s western edge8, Perseverance investigated distinctive mudstone and conglomerate outcrops of the Bright Angel formation. Here we report a detailed geological, petrographic and geochemical survey of these rocks and show that organic-carbon-bearing mudstones in the Bright Angel formation contain submillimetre-scale nodules and millimetre-scale reaction fronts enriched in ferrous iron phosphate and sulfide minerals, likely vivianite and greigite, respectively. This organic carbon appears to have participated in post-depositional redox reactions that produced the observed iron-phosphate and iron-sulfide minerals. Geological context and petrography indicate that these reactions occurred at low temperatures. Within this context, we review the various pathways by which redox reactions that involve organic matter can produce the observed suite of iron-, sulfur- and phosphorus-bearing minerals in laboratory and natural environments on Earth. Ultimately, we conclude that analysis of the core sample collected from this unit using high-sensitivity instrumentation on Earth will enable the measurements required to determine the origin of the minerals, organics and textures it contains. A geological, petrographic and geochemical survey of distinctive mudstone and conglomerate outcrops of the Bright Angel formation on Mars reveals textures, chemical and mineral characteristics, and organic signatures that warrant consideration as potential biosignatures.
