Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.0

After almost three years of 6.x series kernels, Linux 7.0 is finally here. That means it’s also time for another Asahi progress report! Users of alternate distros and keen-eyed individuals may have noticed some changes to the Asahi Installer. After almost two years, we finally got around to pushing an updated version of the installer to the CDN! Two years is a long time to go between updates, so what took so long? Our upstream installer package is a little bit of a Rube-Goldberg machine. The bulk of the installer is written in Python, with some small Bash scripts to bootstrap it. When you run curl | sh , you’re actually downloading the boostrap script, which then fetches the actual installer bundle from our CDN. This bundle consists of a Python interpreter and very stripped down standard library, a built m1n1 stage 1 binary, and the installer itself.

Statecharts: hierarchical state machines

The world of statecharts describes what statecharts are, their benefits and drawbacks, how they differ from state machines, and practical examples on how to use them. A statechart can be explained in many ways, and we’ll get to those explanations, but essentially, a statechart is a drawing. Here’s a simple statechart: However, this drawing isn’t very useful for software engineers who want to reap the benefits outlined elsewhere on this site, so let’s dive into some other ways of describing what a statechart is. The original paper that defines statecharts bills them as “A visual formalism for complex systems” (Harel, 1987). With that out of the way, let’s try to explain statecharts. Put simply, a statechart is a beefed up state machine . The beefing up solves a lot of the problems that state machines have, especially state explosion that happens as state machines grow. One of the goals of this site is to help explain what statecharts are and how they are useful.

"Glad to see statecharts still getting attention! I created XState, a JS/TS library for authoring, executing, and visualizing state machines/statecharts: https://github.com/statelyai/xstate I've been working on it for 10+ years. The main thing I've learned is that statecharts are "

Why SWE-bench Verified no longer measures frontier coding capabilities

SWE-bench Verified is increasingly contaminated and mismeasures frontier coding progress. Our analysis shows flawed tests and training leakage. We recommend SWE-bench Pro. SWE-bench Verified is increasingly contaminated. We recommend SWE-bench Pro. Since we first published SWE-bench Verified in August 2024, the industry has widely used it to measure the progress of models on autonomous software engineering tasks. After its release, SWE-bench Verified provided a strong signal of capability progress and became a standard metric reported in frontier model releases. Tracking and forecasting progress of these capabilities is also an important part of OpenAI’s Preparedness Framework . When we created the Verified benchmark initially, we attempted to solve issues in the original evaluation that made certain tasks impossible to accomplish in the SWE-bench dataset ⁠ (opens in a new window) . After initial leaps, state-of-the-art progress on SWE-bench Verified has slowed, improving ⁠ (opens in a new window) from 74.9% to 80.9% in the last 6 months. This raises the question: do the remaining failures reflect model limitations or properties of the dataset itself?

"Its pretty clear that any benchmark that comes out will be outdated and exist within the training data with short measure. There will always be an incentive to optimize specifically for these benchmarks even if just for marketing material. Sure there is a training cutoff, but its"

The Nintendo Switch Switch (2019)

Yesterday I had the idea that it would be cool if I turned a Nintendo Switch (will be referred to as NX to avoid confusion as NX is the code name for the Nintendo Switch ) console into an actual network switch. I thought about it a bit and realized that it would be doable in hardware at least, since the NX docking station has USB-A ports. Next step is software, while I have done some NX homebrew stuff in the past, it didn’t sound fun implementing this pretty much from scratch. But then I remembered switchroot that has Android and Linux for the NX and setting up a network switch inside Linux would be easy. So the first step was to install switchroot Ubuntu. I just flashed the image file to an SD card, booted it with hekate (a boot loader for the NX) and followed the setup wizard.

"> A speedtest shows that it can at least do 90Mbps (one of my dongles is only 100Mbps). Would be interesting to see if 90 is a bottleneck of the machine, or if a gigabit connector would let you go faster."
