SUSE launches new European digital sovereignty support service to meet surging demand

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-08-08 03:00:00

Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Wary of the US government and tech companies, the European Union (EU) has seen a surge in support for open source and Linux. In the last few months, local EU governments, including Lyon, France, the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, and Denmark, have begun their move to Linux and open-source software from Microsoft Windows and Office.

The era of exploration

news.ycombinator.com Yiding Jiang 2025-08-07 11:23:57

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans

How ChatGPT actually works (and why it's been so game-changing)

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Back in the day (and by "in the day," I mean late 2022, before AI chatbots exploded on the scene), tools like Google and Wolfram Alpha interacted with users via a single-line text entry field and provided text results. Google returned search results -- a list of web pages and articles that would (hopefully) provide information related to the search queries.

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth.

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often.
