CCAI copyleft license considering application for training AI models

Posted on

A group of researchers from Yale University proposed (PDF) a new type of open license CCAI (Contextual Copyleft), extending the application of copyleft to generative AI models. The idea behind CCAI is that using content under this license as data for machine learning results in the dissemination of copyleft terms to the resulting generative AI models. It is expected that the new license could help reduce abuse in AI projects […]

In the Linux kernel, the transition to sleep mode has been accelerated for slow SSDs.

Posted on

A modification has been proposed for the Linux kernel that optimizes the new swap allocator's performance during operations related to transitioning to sleep mode (hibernate). During development, one of the developers noticed that fast allocation of large regions in the swap partition was not supported when entering sleep mode. This caused performance issues on systems with slow SSDs […]
