Published Soursen pieces tagged ai, with the standfirst, the beat and the day the piece went up. Every fact is checked against the source.
AI & GPU compute
Four days after Nvidia’s board said it had confidence in its CEO, Jensen Huang resigned. A short seller had flagged the Megaspeed connection 6 months earlier, and most of the story rests on anonymous US officials, so I separate the filed facts from the allegations.
Linux & open source
On October 23, 2026, Flathub made its Discourse forum read only and pointed people to Matrix and issue trackers. Days later, Discord announced it will put public server messages into web search. Together they show what a forum does that a chat room has never done well.
Linux & open source
On November 7, 2026, Asahi Linux said it is moving every repository to GPL v2 or later. Asahi alleges that unreleased code was lifted from personal forks and that some of it was rewritten with LLM help to hide its origin. The report names no one, and the legal and community questions are still open.
AI & GPU compute
A November 2026 price snapshot grades 25 cards on dollars per gigabyte and dollars per token per second. The AMD Instinct MI50 and a used RTX 3060 take S tier, the RTX 5080 lands in F, and memory decides almost every grade.
AI & GPU compute
Application US 2026/0341309 A1 describes swapping words in live video within 1 to 10 seconds, tailored to each viewer’s profile. The main claim says nothing about telling viewers, no patent has been granted, and nearly every piece of the idea already ships somewhere.
Developer tools
Founder Briony Kennedy says a website migration cut sales by about 30% and broke roughly $1 million a year in ads. Adobe will not comment. The $150 million Adobe settlement in the headlines concerns consumer subscriptions and has no stated link to her contract.
Linux & open source
A progress bar that timed the copy into memory, while the stick lagged far behind, corrupted files for anyone who trusted it and pulled the stick. The fix took 4 merge requests and a Linux call so sharp its own manual calls it extremely dangerous.
Security
A permission shortcut saves the exact command you approved, password included, into a project file that often gets committed. The bigger lesson is that AI coding agents have created new places for secrets to hide, and the usual scanners are not looking there.
AI & GPU compute
Musk says debt markets have shut on companies that only rent out AI chips. The bond market reached that view before he posted it, and the bigger lesson is how much of the AI boom now runs on rented chips and borrowed money.
Security
An AI pipeline found, proved and drafted fixes for 948 kernel bugs at about $1,279 each. Finding them was the cheap part. The bigger lesson is who now has to fix them, and how fast.
