Convey is a GTK4/libadwaita fork of Linux email app Geary Convey is a new Linux email client based on the code of Geary, remade with a GTK4/libadwaita UI and support for Microsoft 365 accounts. Somewhat like traditional mail, it arrives not long after I wrote about another new Linux email client, Postcard, which also draws its inspiration from Geary – the source being much-loved by Linux users, but whose last stable release was in 2024. Convey is a self-described hard fork of Geary so, unlike Postcard, it isn’t a tribute so much as a continuation – albeit an unofficial one: the Flathub listing is clear that it is “not affiliated with […] You're reading Convey is a GTK4/libadwaita fork of Linux email app Geary, a blog post from OMG!

📰 Linux Kernel Build Times Ready To Be Significantly Reduced With Latest Patches The past few weeks we have eagerly been following a Linux kernel patch series after AI found some major bottlenecks in the Linux kernel build code. With AI helping to address these bottlenecks, Linux kernel build times are substantially reduced. These optimizations might be ready in time for Linux 7.4 for reducing incremental kernel build times as much as around 70%. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Kbuild-Faster-v3 #kernel #linux 👉@sysadminoff https://phoronix.com/news/Linux-Kbuild-Faster-v3

Anthropic pays Accenture to impede its own progress Anthropic has selected Accenture’s Faculty unit as its first embedded evaluator, giving an outside team direct access to its AI development work. The companies plan to invest at least $1 billion each over five years, while Anthropic will initially finance Accenture’s participation. In effect, Anthropic is paying a third party to scrutinize—and help slow—the company’s own push toward more powerful frontier models. That absurd arrangement raises fundamental questions about conflicts of interest, internal judgment, and whether Anthropic's leadership is qualified to build safe AI.

Google’s Dream-RSI cuts AI discovery costs by replaying past searches AI discovery is the use of AI agents to search through many possible solutions, experiments, or algorithms. The agents generate ideas, test them, evaluate the results, and refine their search to find better outcomes faster. Google DeepMind’s Dream-RSI lets AI agents test thousands of search strategies against recorded attempts instead of rerunning expensive experiments. In tests across eight algorithmic, mathematical, and GPU tasks, the approach reduced discovery-agent calls by up to 162 times and helped Gemini find a faster statistical solver in 317 attempts, compared with 550 for a fixed strategy and 51,200 for SimpleTES.

Meta tests Muse Mail tab that could create a dedicated AI inbox Meta is testing an unreleased Mail tab for its Muse AI agent, raising the possibility that Muse could receive its own email address rather than merely manage messages from a user’s connected accounts. The separate interface could turn Muse into a persistent correspondent—and give users a single place to review its messages, approvals, and actions.
