The open AI model hertz-dev for full-duplex voice communication has been released.

Standard Intelligence has announced the release of hertz-dev, the first open AI model for full-duplex speech synthesis, which can be used as a foundation for building real-time voice communication systems or generating conversational speech. The model allows generating speech that is close to the voice data it was trained on, facilitating interaction in a manner similar to live human communication without […]

The author of Bcachefs reported a 40% decrease in the number of identified errors.

Kent Overstreet, the developer of the Bcachefs filesystem, reported a 40% reduction in error pop-ups when using the test toolkit compared to last month, as well as a significant decrease in the number of messages regarding critical issues. As a result of the work done, the overall code quality has improved, and the error flow has begun to decline. The Syzbot testing robot caught most trivial […]

Broadcom is working on porting VMware Workstation to the KVM hypervisor on the Linux platform.

Broadcom, which acquired VMware's business a year ago, has proposed several changes to be included in the Linux kernel that add the capability to redirect VMware hypercalls to user space within the KVM hypervisor and provide functionality for selectively enabling the 'VMWare backdoor' interface, used in paravirtualization for sending requests from the guest system to the host environment. It is noted that these changes will enable the transition of VMware products […]
