David Rosenthal, one of the primary contributors to the X Windowing System, has published an awesome blog post about the recent 40 year anniversary of X, full of details about the early days of X development, as well as the limitations they had to deal with, the choices they had to make, and the environment in which they were constrained. Once at Sun I realized that it was more important for the company that the Unix world standardized on a single window system than that the standard be Sun’s NeWS system. At C-MU I had already looked into X as an alternative to the Andrew window system, so I knew it was the obvious alternative to NeWS. Although most of my time was spent developing NeWS, I rapidly ported X version 10 to the Sun/1, likely the second port to non-DEC hardware. It worked, but I had to kludge several areas that depended on DEC-specific hardware. The worst was the completely DEC-specific keyboard support. Because it was clear that a major redesign of X was needed to make it portable and in particular to make it work well on Sun hardware, Gosling and I worked with the teams at DEC SRC and WRL on the design of X version 11. Gosling provided significant input on the imaging model, and I designed the keyboard support. As the implementation evolved I maintained the Sun port and did a lot of testing and bug fixing. All of which led to my trip to Boston to pull all-nighters at MIT finalizing the release. ↫ David Rosenthal They were clearly right. During those days, the UNIX world was using a variety of windowing systems, all tied to various companies and platforms. Standardising virtually the entire UNIX world on X aided in keeping UNIX compatible-ish even in the then-new graphical era, and X’s enduring existence to this very day is evidence of the fact they made a lot of right choices early on. Rosenthal also explains why one of the main alternatives to X, Sun’s PostScript-based NeWS, which was also co-developed by Rosenthal, didn’t win out over X. It had several things working against its adoptions and popularisation, such as Sun requiring a license fee for the source code, its heftier system requirements, and the fact it was more difficult to program for. After trying to create what Rosenthal describes as a “ghastly kludge” by combining NeWS and X into Xnews, Sun eventually killed it altogether. Of course, this wouldn’t be restrospective of X without mentioning Wayland. We and Jobs were wrong about the imaging model, for at least two reasons. First, early on pixels were in short supply and applications needed to make the best use of the few they were assigned. They didn’t want to delegate control to the PostScript interpreter. Second, later on came GPUs with 3D imaging models. The idea of a one-size-fits-all model became obsolete. The reason that Wayland should replace X11 is that it is agnostic to the application’s choice of imaging model. ↫ David Rosenthal This is about as close to a blessing from the original X Windowing System developers you’re ever going to get, but Rosenthal does correctly note that XWayland is a thing, and since not every application is going to be rewritten to support Wayland, X will most likely be around for a long time to come. In fact, he looks towards the future, and predicts that we’ll definitely be celebrating 50 years of X, and that yes, people will still be using it by then.

Ao passar no entorno do Jardim Zoobotânico Bosque Rodrigues Alves, no bairro do Marco, em Belém, é comum observar pedestres – e até mesmo visitantes do espaço – alimentando os animais que vivem ali, sobretudo os macaquinhos – macacos-de-cheiro. Entretanto, essa prática pode causar riscos à saúde dessas espécies. Pensando em conscientizar a população, a Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente (Semma) realiza campanhas regularmente com orientações sobre a proibição de alimentar os animais que circulam pelos muros e grades do parque.

Moshi est la première intelligence artificielle de Kyutai, le laboratoire de recherche lancé par Xavier Niel, Rodolphe Saadé et Eric Schmidt en novembre 2023. Il s’agit du premier modèle capable de répondre à des questions orales en temps réel, avec une rapidité digne d’un être humain. Kyutai devance OpenAI, qui a repoussé la sortie de son ChatGPT Voice à l’automne.
En mai 2024, avec la nouvelle version de ChatGPT Voice alimentée par le modèle GPT-4o, OpenAI présentait au monde la première intelligence artificielle capable d’analyser la voix en temps réel. Plus besoin de transformer un son en un texte écrit (c’est de cette façon que fonctionnent Siri ou Google Assistant), les modèles de demain seront capables de reconnaître directement des bruits et de deviner ce que vous allez dire ensuite, quitte à aller plus vite que le cerveau humain. Pris dans différentes polémiques (dont l’imitation de la voix de Scarlett Johansson), OpenAI a repoussé la sortie du nouveau ChatGPT Voice à l’automne.
Et puis, par surprise le 3 juillet, le laboratoire français Kyutai a dévoilé son propre modèle vocal, baptisé Moshi. Lui aussi peut répondre à la voix en temps réel, grâce à une capacité d’analyse native de la voix. Moshi, qui est un projet open source à but non commercial, est disponible en test sur le site de Kyutai. Pour rappel, il s’agit d’un laboratoire fondé notamment par Xavier Niel, qui rêve de rivaliser avec les géants américains et chinois.
