Following yesterday's Linux 7.0-rc1 release, Linus Torvalds authored and merged a patch to get rid of the Linux kernel's WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM Kconfig option. While that option was added with good intentions, on some systems it can yield a lot of unnecessary kernel log spam...

Firefox 148 Released with AI Kill Switch + More

The Firefox 148 update sees its stable release today, bringing with it a much-request ‘AI kill switch’ to easily disable all AI-powered features within the browser. Mozilla has said future updates to the browser will not re-enable AI features once disabled. Given that Mozilla now measures its success by how much revenue it makes from AI features in its products, Firefox included, that’s a reassuring stance. To disable AI features in Firefox go to Settings > AI Controls. Slide the ‘Block AI Enhancements’ toggle to turn off ChatGPT and other chatbots in the sidebar, AI link previews, the (supposedly) smart […]

Релиз GNU Octave 11, системы для математических расчётов

Состоялся релиз системы для выполнения математических расчётов GNU Octave 11.1.0 (первый выпуск серии 11.x, ветка 11.0 использовалась для разработки), предоставляющей интерпретируемый язык, во многом совместимый с Matlab. GNU Octave может использоваться для решения линейных задач, нелинейных и дифференциальных уравнений, вычислений с использованием комплексных чисел и матриц, визуализации данных, проведения математических экспериментов. Код написан на языке C++ (интерфейс на Qt) и распространяется под лицензией GPLv3.

Части Ladybird переписывают на Rust при помощи LLM

Ladybird переходит на частичное использование Rust вместо C++. Разработчики давно искали memory-safe альтернативу: Swift не подошёл из-за слабых возможностей взаимодействия с C++ и ограниченной поддержки вне Apple. Rust оказался лучше: зрелая экосистема, многие контрибьюторы уже знают язык, а Firefox и Chromium уже используют его.
Первым портировали LibJS — движок JavaScript (лексер, парсер, AST, генератор байткода). Работу вёл человек с помощью Claude Code и Codex: ~25 000 строк Rust за две недели вместо нескольких месяцев вручную. Результат — полная идентичность выходных данных с C++-версией, ноль регрессий в тестах (52 898 тестов test262, 12 461 собственных тестов).
Код намеренно стилистически близок к C++-оригиналу — идиоматичность придёт позже. Полного перехода на Rust не планируется: C++ и Rust будут сосуществовать, а портирование будет постепенным и управляться основной командой.
