Linux 7.1 RC3 released!
Linux 7.1 RC3 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.
The official announcement from the kernel mailing list says:
It's Sunday afternoon, and we all know what that means: Mother's Day.
But also your regularly scheduled kernel release candidate.
And I think this answers the "is 7.1 continuing the larger size pattern that we saw with 7.0?" question, and the answer is yes: that wasn't a fluke brought on by a .0 release - it simply seems to be the new normal.
This time around, about a third of the patch is networking - both on the driver side and in core. And related selftests.
The rest is pretty spread out, with other drivers (sound and gpu being the bigger ones, but there's a little bit of everything in there), architecture updates (powerpc and x86, but also some loongarch and parisc), and various other fixes (smb updates, various core kernel updates, Rust infrastructure, selinux, documentation etc).
The shortlog below isn't exactly _short_, but not so long that you can't scroll through it to get some kind of idea of the details.Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 7.1?

The Placebo Button
The elevator in my building has a door-close button that does nothing. I learned this the way everyone learns it, which is to say I pressed it for years under the impression that it was speeding up my departure. The button lights up. It makes a small click when pressed. It provides every sensory signal of function. What it does not do is close the door any faster than the door was going to close on its own. The elevators in most American buildings installed since 1990 have door-close buttons wired to nothing, because the Americans with Disabilities Act requires the door to stay open long enough for a person using a wheelchair or walker to enter, and the button that overrides that requirement is accessible only to the fire department with a key.
The elevator industry has not hidden this. A 2016 New York Times piece by Christopher Mele quoted Karen Penafiel of the National Elevator Industry confirming that the buttons in non-emergency elevators do not function for ordinary passengers. The buttons remain on the panels because removing them would require rewiring, because passengers expect them, and because a button that does nothing costs less to leave in place than a button that does something. The fire department button works; the button passengers press does not. Both are labeled the same way.
The phenomenon extends well beyond elevators. A February 2004 New York Times piece by Michael Luo, titled “For Exercise in New York Futility, Push Button,” reported that of the 3,250 crosswalk buttons in New York City at the time, more than 2,500 functioned as mechanical placebos and only about 750 still worked. The rest were deactivated when the city moved to computerized signal timing in the decades after 1980, and the buttons were kept in place rather than removed because removing them costs more than leaving them attached to nothing. A pedestrian pressing a crosswalk button on Sixth Avenue at Thirty-Fourth Street is performing a gesture. The gesture has no effect on when the light changes. The light changes on a fixed timer that does not know the pedestrian pressed anything.
Office thermostats are the third common case. HVAC contractors working in large commercial buildings have for decades installed decoy thermostats in zones where the actual temperature is controlled from a central building management system. A Wall Street Journal column by Jared Sandberg, who wrote the Journal’s Cubicle Culture column on office life, reported that a significant share of office thermostats were non-functional decoys, installed because building operators had discovered that employees who had a thermostat to adjust reported feeling more comfortable than employees who did not, regardless of whether the thermostat was connected to anything. The decoy thermostat was cheaper than the actual climate complaint.
What unites these three cases is that the placebo button is engineered to produce the sensation of causation without the mechanism of causation. The Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer spent much of her career documenting what she called the illusion of control, the human tendency to overestimate personal influence over outcomes that are actually random or automatic. Her 1975 paper on the subject in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology remains the source text, and the elevator button has become an unintended memorial to her findings. The button is a compliance device. It gets the passenger through fifteen seconds of waiting without becoming the kind of passenger who kicks the door. The crosswalk button operates the same way. The thermostat operates the same way.
The object lesson is small. A button that does nothing is a minor embarrassment in the built environment. The interesting question is where else this logic operates, and the answer is most of civic life.
Public comment periods on federal rulemaking accept submissions from citizens by the hundreds of thousands. Agencies are required to read those submissions and consider them. In the vast majority of cases, the final rule reflects the draft rule. The comment did not change the outcome. Its filing was registered. Citizens who submit receive an acknowledgment. That acknowledgment was the point.
City council meetings in most American municipalities include a public comment segment during which residents address the council for two or three minutes each on matters of local governance. Council members are not required to respond. A council member is also not required to incorporate the comment into deliberation. Votes that follow get decided in committee or caucus before the comment begins. The resident goes home having pressed the button. Its light comes on. That door closes on the timer it was going to close on anyway.
Surveys distributed by employers after reorganizations, by airlines after delays, by hospitals after treatment, by universities after lectures, arrive with the implicit promise that the responses will influence future decisions. Response data gets aggregated and presented in quarterly reports to executives who have already made the next round of decisions. The survey is a button that lights up. No door closes any faster.
Electoral systems with gerrymandered district lines produce outcomes pre-determined by the shape of the district rather than the preferences of the voters. A voter in a district drawn to favor a party by twenty points is pressing a button connected to a timer set six years before the election. Ballots get counted. The vote does not change the outcome. An illusion of control persists, and the citizen who pressed the button walks out of the polling place with the civic sensation of participation.
The placebo button is not a conspiracy. No central authority installed these systems to deceive. An elevator button represents a cost-benefit decision by building owners. A crosswalk button persists as legacy infrastructure nobody retired. Public comment periods exist as procedural requirements written into administrative law in 1946. Gerrymandered districts result from partisan legislatures drawing maps within a legal framework the Supreme Court has repeatedly declined to revise. Each placebo button got there through a defensible local decision. The pattern they form together is a democracy where the buttons light up reliably and the doors close on the schedule they were always going to close on.
The dangerous version of this pattern is the one where citizens learn the buttons do nothing and continue pressing them. Compliance does not require belief. The door-close button still gets pressed by passengers who know it does nothing, because pressing it is what one does in an elevator, and because the alternative is standing silent in a small box with a stranger for fifteen seconds. Voting in a gerrymandered district still gets done by voters who know the district will produce the predetermined outcome, because voting is what one does as a citizen, and because the alternative is admitting the system is closed.
The recognition that matters is the one that separates the buttons that work from the buttons that do not, and the organizing that follows is the organizing that rewires the boxes rather than the gesture of pressing. Ballot initiatives that establish independent redistricting commissions are rewiring. Lawsuits that force agencies to respond substantively to public comments are rewiring. Municipal charters that require council members to respond to comment on the record are rewiring. The door-close button in the elevator is a lost cause and not worth the fight. A crosswalk button at Thirty-Fourth Street is not worth the fight either. Ballots and comment periods and council meetings are worth every fight we can bring, because the apparatus behind those buttons is still capable of connection, and the difference between a democracy and an elevator panel is whether the wires on the other side of the panel still reach the doors.

Observer | How Writer CEO May Habib Transforms Language Tech Into Enterprise A.I. by Tim Keary
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
May Habib, a Lebanese‑Canadian refugee who grew up as her family’s English interpreter, co‑founded the language‑technology startup Writer (originally Qordoba) and now serves as its CEO. At the recent HumanX conference she explained why most enterprise generative‑AI pilots flop: companies focus on incremental tweaks rather than restructuring entire workflows. Writer tackles this by offering end‑to‑end AI agents and a proprietary suite of large‑language models (Palmyra) that automate multi‑step tasks, integrate with existing systems, and include robust governance controls such as layered kill‑switches. With over 300 enterprise customers—including Salesforce, Airbnb, and major firms in finance, healthcare, and retail—Writer has deployed more than 15,000 agents and positions itself as a rare pre‑ChatGPT player built for enterprise compliance, data control, and rapid, decisive implementation of AI‑first operations.

@ChrSt oh its just something i call myself because i love to yap about it
typst is a typesetting language like LaTeX but more modern and is basically a weird programming language
typesetting/rich text writing is closer to markdown/asciidoc than latex, but you can do really powerful things with the programming language part of it
this is an example from their github:
#set page(width: 10cm, height: auto)
#set heading(numbering: "1.")
= Fibonacci sequence
The Fibonacci sequence is defined through the
recurrence relation $F_n = F_(n-1) + F_(n-2)$.
It can also be expressed in _closed form:_
$ F_n = round(1 / sqrt(5) phi.alt^n), quad
phi.alt = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2 $
#let count = 8
#let nums = range(1, count + 1)
#let fib(n) = (
if n <= 2 { 1 }
else { fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2) }
)
The first #count numbers of the sequence are:
#align(center, table(
columns: count,
..nums.map(n => $F_#n$),
..nums.map(n => str(fib(n))),
