Logitech MX Master 3 Extras for Linux With logiops

The Logitech Options program isn't available for Linux, but by a nice guy on GitHub (PixlOne) created an open source project that lets you obtain some of that functionality. It's called logiops. It works in conjunction with the Solaar project as well, which I find especially handy since that shows your available battery life in the system tray and lets you pair/unpair devices with the Logitech Unifying Receiver.

Here are some additional pages with info that I used to generate this documentation:

• https://github.com/PixlOne/logiops/wiki/Configuration
• https://github.com/PixlOne/logiops/blob/master/logid.example.cfg
• https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h

Some remarks on Large Language Models

Yoav Goldberg, January 2023

Audience: I assume you heard of chatGPT, maybe played with it a little, and was imressed by it (or tried very hard not to be). And that you also heard that it is "a large language model". And maybe that it "solved natural language understanding". Here is a short personal perspective of my thoughts of this (and similar) models, and where we stand with respect to language understanding.

Intro

Around 2014-2017, right within the rise of neural-network based methods for NLP, I was giving a semi-academic-semi-popsci lecture, revolving around the story that achieving perfect language modeling is equivalent to being as intelligent as a human. Somewhere around the same time I was also asked in an academic panel "what would you do if you were given infinite compute and no need to worry about labour costs" to which I cockily responded "I would train a really huge language model, just to show that it doesn't solve everything!".

FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.
