Satya Nadella is calling for companies to treat powerful AI models as potential insider risks—not because they are inherently malicious, but because they can make mistakes or be compromised. His proposed safeguard: separate a model’s intelligence from its authority, keeping access controls and the ability to stop it outside the model itself.

Выпуск Ventoy 1.1.18, инструментария для загрузки произвольных систем с USB-носителей

Опубликован выпуск инструментария Ventoy 1.1.18, предназначенного для создания загрузочных USB-носителей, включающих несколько операционных систем. Программа позволяет загрузить ОС из неизменных ISO-, WIM-, IMG-, VHD- и EFI-образов, не требуя распаковки образа или переформатирования носителя. Достаточно просто скопировать интересующий набор образов на USB Flash с загрузчиком Ventoy, и он обеспечит загрузку операционных систем, находящихся внутри образов. В любой момент можно заменить или добавить новые iso-образы, просто скопировав новые файлы, что удобно для тестирования и предварительного ознакомления с различными дистрибутивами и операционными системами. Код проекта написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией GPLv3.
