Linux 给 AI 生成代码“立规矩”：Copilot 可以用，但出了问题人来背。 吵了几个月之后，Linus Torvalds 和 Linux 内核维护者终于把 Linux 内核第一套 AI 辅助代码规则定下来了。这套新规很符合 Torvalds 一贯的务实风格：AI 工具可以用，但 Linux 内核对代码质量的高要求一点也不会放松。 新指南主要定了三件事。 第一，AI 代理不能添加 Sign...
Linux 给 AI 生成代码“立规矩”：Copilot 可以用，但出了问题人来背。 吵了几个月之后，Linus Torvalds 和 Linux 内核维护者终于把 Linux 内核第一套 AI 辅助代码规则定下来了。这套新规很符合 Torvalds 一贯的务实风格：AI 工具可以用，但 Linux 内核对代码质量的高要求一点也不会放松。 新指南主要定了三件事。 第一，AI 代理不能添加 Signed-off-by 标签 只有人类才能合法签署 Linux 内核的开发者来源证明（Developer Certificate of Origin，DCO）。这是确保代码许可合规的法律机制。换句话说，即便你提交的补丁完全由 AI 编写，责任仍然只在你本人，而不是 AI 或其提供方。 第二，必须标注 Assisted-by（辅助来源） 如果在内核开发过程中用了 AI 工具，就要把来源写清楚，这样大家才能知道 AI 在这次提交里到底参与了多少。相关代码贡献需要按下面这个格式加上 Assisted-by 标签： Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2] 这里需要把你用了什么模型、什么 Agent、还有哪些辅助工具说清楚。比如 AGENT_NAME 是你用的 AI 工具或者框架名称；MODEL_VERSION 是具体用的模型版本；[TOOL1] [TOOL2] 是可选项，用来写这次还搭配用了哪些专门的分析工具，比如 coccinelle、sparse、smatch、clang-tidy。像 git、gcc、make、编辑器这些日常基础工具，就不用写进去了。 比如，如果你用的是 Claude 的 claude-3-opus，同时还配合 coccinelle 和 sparse 做分析，就可以这样写： Assisted-by: Claude:claude-3-opus coccinelle sparse 第三，人类承担全部责任 把前面几条合起来看，意思其实很明确：AI 可以参与写代码，但责任不能转嫁给 AI。AI 生成的代码有没有经过完整审查，许可证是不是合规，后续如果出了 bug 或安全漏洞，最后都要由提交代码的人来负责。 不要试图把有问题的代码偷偷混进内核。2021 年明尼苏达大学的那起事件，就是一个典型的前车之鉴。否则...

Click here to find out more » stockcam/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Investment Thesis The market is pricing Duolingo, Inc. ( DUOL ) as a decelerating language app. My thesis is that AI fears are overstated and bears are misreading management’s new strategy prioritizing engagement over monetization and quality over friction. Duolingo remains a strong business as a habit-formation platform with a powerful monetization engine, and it represents an attractive investment opportunity at its discounted price. The Business Duolingo is an American Company based in Pennsylvania. It is the world’s most downloaded education app, offering free language learning courses in more than 40 languages and expanding into new areas like math, music, and chess. Duolingo has a freemium model, which creates a self-reinforcing flywheel. Namely, the app attracts new users through its free content, turns them into DAUs through habit-forming gamification features (streaks, leaderboards, hearts), and offers subscriptions to monetize these habits. This free tier is a big reason Duolingo has an advantage over competitors who charge for content, such as Babbel and Rosetta Stone. Duolingo heavily relies on word of mouth and social media for user acquisition (e.g., their Dead Duo viral campaign in February 2025) instead of spending on advertising. The team is constantly looking to optimize engagement, adding AI features such as video calls and taking advantage of their 52.7M DAUs generating continuous behavioral data (~2B exercises per day) for A/B testing. Their large user base creates a strong data moat against competitors. Subscriptions (Super and Max) account for ~84% of revenue, while other sources include advertising, ...

A senior manager at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has sold his Hong Kong home to a private equity veteran for about $13 million, marking another high-profile residential transaction in the Asian financial hub. Ronald Lee , who leads the US firm’s Asia-Pacific private wealth management business, sold the property at Eden View in the Stanley area for HK$100 million ($12.8 million) last month, according to a land registry filing. It was sold to Deknam Ltd., a vehicle co-owned by Nik Rowold , a partner at CVC Capital Partners , company records show. The sale price is almost three times higher than the HK$35.2 million that Lee and his wife paid for the property in 2006. Business tycoons and finance veterans have been major buyers of high-end properties in the city in recent months as the real estate market shows signs of a rebound from a prolonged slump. For the buyer, the purchase price falls just below the threshold requiring a higher levy. Hong Kong’s government hiked the stamp duty for residential property transactions valued over HK$100 million to 6.5% from 4.25% in late February. Rowold joined CVC in 2016 and is based in London, according to the private equity firm’s website. He holds a license for its Asia-Pacific unit in Hong Kong, the Securities and Futures Commission’s website shows.

Jonathan Kitchen South Korean AI chip startup DeepX is preparing to go public via a domestic initial public offering and said it is open to a possible U.S. listing later, underscoring ambitions to tap deeper capital pools and expand its global footprint. The company, which develops on-device AI chips designed for edge computing applications, said it will appoint underwriters after wrapping up its ongoing funding round in H1 2026. DeepX claims its chips significantly reduce energy consumption and cost compared with traditional GPUs, positioning it as a challenger in a market dominated by large companies. The startup works with companies like Hyundai and Baidu ( BIDU ), DeepX founder and CEO Lokwon Kim told Reuters . A potential U.S. listing, while not yet committed, would align the South Korean company with a broader trend among Asian semiconductor firms seeking higher valuations and capital.

Jury Trials Are Vital To The Constitutional Order Authored by David Thunder via 'The Freedom Blog' substack, The Labour-led British government is currently attempting to hollow out an ancient pillar of English constitutionalism, trial by jury. Under their planned reforms, trial by jury would survive in England and Wales for certain types of crimes, but its use would be significantly curtailed. For example, according to a government press release issued earlier this month, new “Swift Courts” will assign cases “with a likely sentence of three years or less” to be heard by “a Judge alone.” The campaign against jury trials, one of the most free-spirited and universally lauded institutions bequeathed to us by the common law tradition, would be baffling in a healthy constitutional regime. But sadly, it is predictable enough in a regime whose political leaders have developed the habit of tinkering with civil liberties as though they were trimming their lawn. Being an ancient institution that evolved gradually over a millennium, a significant restriction of jury trials would have unpredictable effects on the justice system. We simply do not know with any confidence how, in the long run, such a move would alter the incentives of prosecutors, change the pattern of convictions for different crimes, or alter public perceptions of the justice system. What we do know is that it would constitute a dangerous and completely unnecessary constitutional experiment, eroding one of the most time-honoured bulwarks of civil liberty. Furthermore, it is worth noting that according to an analysis published by the Free Speech Union , drawing on Ministry of Justice data, overall acquittal rates are much higher with juries than with magistrates’ courts (21.6% vs. 11.4%), and this difference also holds specifically for speech-related offences (27.6% vs. 15.9%). Assuming these figures are accurate, citizens will likely be much more vulnerable to prosecution and conviction if the use of jury trials...
