Cette découverte soulève des préoccupations concernant des violations potentielles des contrôles d'exportation des États-Unis, qui restreignent Huawei depuis 2020. Sophgo, lié à Bitmain, a nié toute connexion avec Huawei et affirme se conformer aux lois applicables. Toutefois, l'incident a conduit à une enquête approfondie de TSMC et des autorités américaines et taïwanaises Open AI et Microsoft, de l'amour à la guerre https://www.computerworld.com/article/3593206/microsoft-and-openai-good-by-bromance-hel[…]m_source=Adestra&huid=4349eeff–5b8b–493d–9e61–9abf8be5293b on a bien suivi les chants d'amour entre Sam Altman et Satia Nadella ca c'est tendu ces derniers temps deja avec le coup chez openAI où MS avait sifflé la fin de la récré “on a le code, les données, l'IP et la capacité, on peut tout recrée” OpenAi a un competiteur de Copilot et essaie de courtises ses clients les apétits d'investissements d'OpenAI et une dispute sur la valeur de la aprt de MS qui a donné des crédits cloud semble etre aui coeur de la dispute du moment Debezium 3 est sorti https://debezium.io/blog/2024/10/02/debezium–3–0-final-released/ Java 17 minimum pour les connecteurs et 21 pour le serveur, l'extension quarkus outbox et pour l'operateur nettoyage des depreciations metriques par table maintenant support for mysql 9 y compris vector data type oracle, default mining strategie changée ehcache off-heap ajouté amelioarations diverses Oracle (offline RAC node flush, max string size for Extended PostgreSQL PGVector etc (Spanner, vitess, …) NotebookLlama: une version Open Source de NotebookLM https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-recipes/tree/main/recipes/quickstart/NotebookLlama Si vous avez été impressionné par les démo de Gemini Notebook, en créant des podcasts à partir de différentes resources, testez la version llama Tutoriel étape par étape pour transformer un PDF en podcast.

Linux ne les aime pas, et elles lui rendent bien. https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/26/cups_linux_rce_disclosed/ Après quelques heures / jours de rumeurs sur une faille 9.9/10 CVSS il s'avère que cela concerne que les système avec le système d'impression CUPS et cups-browsed Désactivez et/ou supprimez le service cups-browsed. Mettez à jour votre installation CUPS pour appliquer les mises à jour de sécurité lorsqu'elles sont disponibles. Envisagez de bloquer l'accès au port UDP 631 et également de désactiver le DNS-SD. Cela concerne la plupart des distributions Linux, certaines BSD, possiblement Google ChromeOS, Solaris d'Oracle et potentiellement d'autres systèmes, car CUPS est intégré à diverses distributions pour fournir la fonctionnalité d'impression. Pour exploiter cette vulnérabilité via internet ou le réseau local (LAN), un attaquant doit pouvoir accéder à votre service CUPS sur le port UDP 631. Idéalement, aucun de vous ne devrait exposer ce port sur l'internet public. L'attaquant doit également attendre que vous lanciez une tâche d'impression. Si le port 631 n'est pas directement accessible, un attaquant pourrait être en mesure de falsifier des annonces zeroconf, mDNS ou DNS-SD pour exploiter cette vulnérabilité sur un LAN. Loi, société et organisation La version 1.0 de la definition de l'IA l'Open Source est sortie https://siliconangle.com/2024/10/28/osi-clarifies-makes-ai-systems-open-source-open-models-fall-short/ L'Open Source Initiative (OSI) a clarifié les critères pour qu'un modèle d'IA soit considéré comme open-source : accès complet aux données de formation, au code source et aux paramètres d'entraînement. La plupart des modèles dits “open” comme ceux de Meta (Llama) et Stability AI (Stable Diffusion) ne respectent pas ces critères, car ils imposent des restrictions sur l'utilisation commerciale et ne rendent pas publiques les données de formation c'est au details de données de formation (donc pas forcement les données elle meme. “In particular, this must include: (1) the complete description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data, disclosing the provenance of the data, its scope and characteristics, how the data was obtained and selected, the labeling procedures, and data processing and filtering methodologies; (2) a listing of all publicly available training data and where to obtain it; and (3) a listing of all training data obtainable from third parties and where to obtain it, including for fee.” C'est en echo a la version d'open source AI de la linux fondation En parlant de cela un article sur l'open source washing dans les modèles https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/25/opinion_open_washing/ L'open washing désigne la pratique où des entreprises prétendent que leurs produits ou modèles sont open-source, bien qu'ils ne respectent pas les critères réels d'ouverture (transparence, accessibilité, partage des connaissances). De grandes entreprises comme Meta, Google et Microsoft sont souvent accusées d'utiliser cette stratégie, ce qui soulève des préoccupations concernant la clarté des définitions légales et commerciales de l'open source, surtout avec l'essor de l'IA.

Je m'explique : dans mon entreprise, nous utilisons notre dépôt Git (Bitbucket) configuré pour notre dépôt d'entreprise. Lorsque je souhaite contribuer à un projet open source, je suis obligé de modifier ma configuration globale Git (nom d'utilisateur, email) pour correspondre à mon compte GitHub. Il arrive souvent que, lorsque je reviens pour effectuer un commit sur le dépôt d'entreprise, j'oublie que je suis en mode “open source”, ce qui entraîne l'enregistrement de mes configurations “open source” dans l'historique de Bitbucket… Comment gérez-vous ce genre de situation ?

Where is all the hashrate coming from? Plus, why Bitmain sanction rumors are (probably) overblown. Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Bitcoin's hashrate is ripping, so Will and Colin sit down to discuss where all the new hashrate is coming from. They also touch on updates for Greenidge's long-standing lawsuit against the State of New York and why the scuttlebutt that Bitmain might come under the scope of US sanctions is unfounded for now. Finally, in this week's cry corner, why you shouldn't spend £500 to hear yet another bloviating imposter claim that he's Satoshi.

Auradine splashed across headlines earlier this year with new units. But how do they hold up in the field? We brought on Brad Cuddy of Cholla Energy to learn more.There's a ton of new units on the market, including new players like Auradine. But how do these units actually hold up when deployed to the field and under harsh environments? We brought on Brad Cuddy of Cholla Energy to walk us through his experience working with the units. We also discuss alternative units like Bitmain and MicroBT, dry cooling, hydro vs. immersion and various other topics relating to technical Bitcoin mining. Lastly, we finish with a conversation on the Texas Bitcoin mining landscape including

For this week's Bitcoin Mining Stock Show, Colin sits down with Taras Kulyk, the CEO and co-founder of Synteq Digital. The fellas open the show by talking about the differences between the AI/HPC and ASIC hardware markets, why its (much) easier for traditional data center operators to access capital markets than bitcoin miners, and whether or not Core Scientific can capitalize on its AI promises. For the second half of the show, Taras dives into what has changed in the ASIC market since the April 2024 Halving, plus the great migration of older models like the S19 and M30 series to lower cost areas in the global South. Finally, Taras shares his views on Bitmain's new U3S21EXPH hydro-cooled ASIC miner and his vision for the future of data center cooling.
Colin and Matt cover a motley of news items including Hut 8's U3S21EXPH partnership with Bitmain, Bhutan's fat bitcoin stacks, why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is bullish on bitcoin mining, and Trump's historic bitcoin purchase. Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week's news roundup, the crew dives into Hut 8's partnership with Bitmain on the manufacturer's new hydro-cooled ASIC model, the U3S21EXPH. Matt also gives everyone a geography lesson with his overview of Bhutan and its hoard of 13,011 BTC worth $780 million, the fourth largest BTC reserve of any nation, and Colin covers Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s letter to the editor in the Economist in which he defends Bitcoin mining for its utility as a flexible load for renewable energy. Plus, a former President, a bitcoin mining CEO, and a pub owner walk into a bar, and everyone leaves with a burger paid in bitcoin (yes, every outlet has covered this story, but we are too). And finally in this week's cry corner, the unfortunate story of a Norwegian town whose residents will pay more for power after a bitcoin mine ceased operations. Enjoying the show?

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Rhodium is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and they're going to need cash to get through the restructuring. So in comes Galaxy Digital, which is offering a $30m (or 500 BTC!) loan, in a move that could be a savvy attempt to acquire Rhodium assets. Turning to the ASIC market, bitcoin miner prices are down – a lot – and Bitmain could have a hand in the sluggish demand given how quickly it is releasing new versions of the S21. For a bit of lighthearted news, the guys get cosmic pontificating on interstellar bitcoin mining, while also taking a less lighthearted look at drooping crypto market sentiment. And to close the show, they roast – and we wish we were joking here – a tokenized vaping product(because who doesn't want to get paid to contract popcorn lung?).

The statistics section of this episode of intense, best to listen with a pencil, paper, and calculator in hand. Operating a 1PH bitcoin mining setup, focusing solely on electricity costs at a rate of $0.07 per kWh, requires 20 kW of power, resulting in a daily electricity expense of $33. This generates $50 in Bitcoin daily, leading to a profit of $16.40 per day or approximately $500 per month, excluding significant additional costs for equipment and containers. Listen for even more cost to mine breakdown. We also breakdown an off-grid solar mining setup with data received from a Pleb who is trying it, $8,500, including panels, control box, batteries, a tracker, and mining hardware. Despite these investments, the system, with limited 33% uptime, generates approximately $100 per month in Bitcoin, with 2-year monthly loan expenses of $350 at best. Mining has its challenges, and we feature this cost to mine breakdown in order to give listeners a better understanding of the operational costs of various scale and type of mining operations.

It's crucial to understand that requesting MWs and actually receiving them are completely different, necessitating new rate classifications. Despite an ISO having 175,000 MW of solar ready to integrate, grid realities mean only about 25% of that can actually be utilized. Interconnection queues are also typically oversubscribed, not all projects make it through. This complexity makes it essential to ask hard questions and understand the fundamental physics involved.Be sure to visit UngovernableMisfits.com for more writings and to catch up on past articles.We Ungovernable Misfits, bound by themes like autonomy, self-reliance, and skepticism of authority, face external forces that use these traits to divide and weaken us, employing tactics of discord to dilute our collective resolve.
