Today is OpenStack's 15th birthday! What an honor to be part of this community from the beginning. I've met so many friends all over the world and have enjoyed seeing others fall in love with open source and make careers and companies out of it, in OpenStack & beyond! To 15 more!

📢 Today we're releasing a new highly detailed dataset for video understanding: HD-EPIC arxiv.org/abs/2502.04144 hd-epic.github.io What makes the dataset unique is the vast detail contained in the annotations with 263 annotations per minute over 41 hours of video.

Another seed could be a wikipedia style data curation effort. In parallel, research data-efficient models that can be trained on 100M tokens. This is comparable to both what humans need to develop speech and to wikipedia, proving that it's possible to curate this amount of data as a community.

First day at FOSDEM and I’m loving it. So much open source and interesting people. Just met a guy who wrote code for F1 to make the cars faster including physics simulation models for designing carbon fiber spoilers and better gear efficiency.

I used the DeepSeek R1 reasoning model to prepare for a new course proposal. These screenshots show with and without the "DeepThink" option turned on--strikingly different. R1 does a lot more synthesis and offers clearer suggestions. It also accepts pdf files, o1 doesn't. Crazy this is open source.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

While a low-temperature universe theoretically provides an ideal environment for reducing noise, the lack of available energy ironically makes reliable computation—and potentially intelligent life—unsustainable in the long run. So don't even worry about it.

My instinct is that Uber may be the wrong comparison because there's no reason for AI power to stay concentrated in the hands of a few. Every closed model has been matched in capability by an open source one within a few months, freeing anyone in the world to run it.

One of my favourite words to say is "infinitesimal". You get the one-two internal rhyme of "in" and "fin" to start, and then, at the end, the delicious long-short-long rhythm of "tes", "i", "mal". Five star word

Honestly, the Let's Encrypt folks don't get nearly enough credit for basically protecting the entire fucking internet, by making it absolute bog standard to encrypt everything. It happened so fast and so many people were skeptical.

An underrated feeling is when you meet someone, and you realize you have a mutual friend, so you take a picture together and send it to that friend with no context. What a rush!

"For GitHub Copilot Free users, the data collected by GitHub Copilot may be used for AI Model training where permitted and if you allow in your settings." IMHO this is probably a reasonable expectation but also good to be aware of (and I adjust settings to your liking)
