break when making changes... unless what you break is out of tree... so having this out of tree just imposes a lot of annoying problems on distribution and packaging systems, and having bcachefs be removed from the kernel over what is effectively a minor argument about patch timings is just bad and stupid tbh<br/><br/>linux desperately needs a serious replacement or competitor to btrfs, and having it in-tree helps support migration over to it as a reliable default for linux users at some point in the future, which I think would be a good thing generally 2025-08-17T12:10:30Z

is opened for tons of shit that really has nothing to do with the filesystem, for example a network socket or UNIX socket consumes a file descriptor as defined by ulimits, and yeah so does an mmap&#39;d file<br/><br/>It&#39;s less about not sanitizing things in linux, and more like by limiting the number of open files you prevent weird race condition/threading attacks like this<br/><br/><a href="https://binarygecko.com/race-conditions-in-linux-kernel-perf-events/">https://binarygecko.com/race-conditions-in-linux-kernel-perf-events/</a><br/><br/>this attack needs to open thousands of new FDs (which in this case are actually just a reference to a struct, not a real file) in order to trigger a race condition around an actually mmap&#39;d file, so if your hard limits were quite low there is a better chance this fails to execute<br/><br/>&gt; The struct perf_event is returned to the user mode process as a file descriptor.<br/><br/>this second link also explains a simple kernel module race condition, where the example code requires multiple threads to loop opening files until a bug is triggered that duplicates one of the FDs, so again limiting the open files can sometimes help stop this, since these type of exploits are common in real world attacks<br/><br/><a href="https://santaclz.github.io/2024/01/29/Linux-Kernel-Exploitation-exploiting-race-condition-and-UAF.html#race-to-get-double-file-descriptor">https://santaclz.github.io/2024/01/29/Linux-Kernel-Exploitation-exploiting-race-condition-and-UAF.html#race-to-get-double-file-descriptor</a> 2025-03-07T04:29:42Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2npnhc2j336c8lepvuu8jnflg2vdr7h0z2vlt74k2nhu0wjqlhhgzyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxjatstp2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp8t4hydcgrrcrpgfjac0k920t8dyxrj26xja7unv4ummw3ueeu9gctwwde'>nevent1q…wwde</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it&#39;s mostly about exploit mitigation, a huge amount of race conditions and threading exploits rely on opening millions of files and hoping that probability lets them trigger a bug eventually (cache related exploits also do this)<br/><br/>so basically by limiting the number of concurrent open files you slow down those attacks so much that they stop working usually, which is why most distros have a pretty small soft limit, and a larger but not actually unlimited hard limit<br/><br/>besides that it also sometimes stops buggy code from crashing everything lol 2025-03-07T03:24:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvc2vdhwtqv98lgetfgne5m66vxwawm7g00u20mg3q53qf0drgh9czyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxje5sqmx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsguva02pf99s0fdc4k46n00saahc3zqvschterkhvls9lglxer30qy0n42a'>nevent1q…n42a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah, the weird thing is that my distro hasn&#39;t changed and the soft/hard limits are still set to very low defaults for security reasons, because the only time I go over the limit is large compiles<br/><br/>but actually I can&#39;t find the documentation note about increasing the file limits anymore, so maybe they fixed this in the build process for me instead of requiring a file limit increase from users tbh 2025-03-07T03:14:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf6agjz7vhm27clhhhqu2trxlc7f34r3u2xuatex8cjm0gx7u82aqzyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxju9uc52 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgwg78cl3ch8utl8kyae4c9jg9stqn4eywt8hzwzmsqz64rgj5jecxxpx82'>nevent1q…px82</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been using this OS professionally for over a decade and to be real I have no idea why this happened, my best guess is that the system was under less load and the compiler managed to get enough open files to complete without breaking, but that&#39;s just a wild guess, compiling firefox should have saturated the file limit still 2025-03-07T02:43:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgwg78cl3ch8utl8kyae4c9jg9stqn4eywt8hzwzmsqz64rgj5jeczyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxjz8kdm9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsww0f2pw0yltpkysw8gk89ks2lhpxxcw4agcnz3pz00xg3qqv7q6qpl0lgt'>nevent1q…0lgt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>chat somehow 1024 FDs actually allowed the project to compile correctly, despite this failing every single other time I tried, and the documentation explicitly warning you to increase this limit or the compile will fail<br/><br/>and yet it worked... this is an even BIGGER linux moment than I thought, wow 2025-03-07T02:41:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsww0f2pw0yltpkysw8gk89ks2lhpxxcw4agcnz3pz00xg3qqv7q6qzyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxj28j3d5 Oh no, I compiled firefox with `mold` linker and forgot to increase my open file limit above 1024 FDs.... welp guess I gotta restart that now<br/><br/>classic linux moment :^) 2025-03-07T02:31:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxk8gh4e6ndeafczwyycf7zm7c4xjvdyu7w5wena6e9ufzlca2kmczyzlgne5h9nlcnu78tufnp6qfldyka5arwkmcyhcn36hqk0w5rwjxj7v7d9l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszxx92rgd60vnshnlf2nu9wv8437jpt5tsc2uv9t539ayf5xmmxxgu03s0y'>nevent1q…3s0y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>did you see that github&#39;s copilot will refuse to autocomplete ANY code which has the word &#34;gender&#34;

I genuinely believe we have enough data to just never collect anything new, and train AI on that for the next decade easily.<br/><br/>Also Deepseek in particular was trained on 100% &#34;synthetic&#34; datasets, which are increasingly becoming common (and are usually generated by other AI models). This means no human/user data was even put into the model for training, it was all generated by other systems and completely made up to fit some desired statistical patterns<br/><br/>Before someone asks, no model collapse doesn&#39;t matter in the real world, for reasons seemingly nobody can understand (please send me research if you do) training models on other model output, with the correct statistical approach, doesn&#39;t cause any problems.<br/><br/>Merging the resulting model with other models also doesn&#39;t cause any problems really. Your guess for why this works is as good as mine, currently I think the variations in model output and differences in training data (thus embeddings) are enough to prevent model collapse. I tried finding research papers about this, and didn&#39;t see much analysis on why it works, just that it does work in practice.<br/><br/>I think the single most impressive thing about Deepseek, aside from being trained on synthetic datasets, is that it&#39;s actually produced by China which is currently under extremely strict US sanctions and has no access to top of the line computing hardware for training, unlike OpenAI and other US companies do.<br/><br/>Even while literally being sanctioned they still produced a better model, and this isn&#39;t the first time it has happened either lol<br/><br/>also here is some info about model collapse due to synthetic data not mattering in practice, for anyone who is interested:<br/><br/><a
