LinkedIn Open-Sources FeatureFu, A Toolkit For Building Machine Learning Models
LinkedIn today announced that it is open-sourcing an internal tool called FeatureFu. The FeatureFu toolkit is meant to make it easier for developers to build their machine learning models around statistical modeling and decision engines.
The idea here is to take LinkedIn’s knowledge around “feature engineering” and make it accessible to developers outside of the company. In machine learning, feature engineering is basically using your detailed knowledge of the phenomenon you are looking at and then using that to build machine learning models.

Mozilla's Bugzilla Hacked, Exposing Firefox Zero-Days
Mozilla admitted today that its Bugzilla bug tracking system was breached by an attacker, who was then able to get access to information about unpatched zero-day bugs.
While Mozilla doesn't have finite timelines on when the breach occurred, it may well have happened as far back as September 2013. According to Mozilla, the attacker was able to breach a user's account that had privileged access to Bugzilla, including the non-public zero-day flaw information.

Firefox is coming to Apple’s iOS devices
Apple’s iOS has been around for well over half a decade now and Mozilla in its usual style has been a bit too relaxed in getting itself onto the platform, that coupled with Apple’s unwillingness to allow competing browsers onto its platform for so many years has meant Firefox is only just arriving on iOS. Today, Mozilla have announced that those residing in New Zealand can get their hands on the first public preview of Firefox for iOS.

Bringing Python into the classroom
Teachers across the globe have answered the call to code. "Yes," they say, "we will teach our kids to program, even if we don't know how ourselves." They've delivered lessons on Scratch; they've celebrated the Hour of Code. Perhaps they've even dabbled in Codecademy's offerings to familiarize themselves with this newly popular, suddenly ubiquitous competency called "coding."

Chapters of expenses — UI should utilize opensource textbooks to minimize student expenses
Don’t be afraid to say that more than $1,000 a year is too much to spend on textbooks. Encourage your professors to consider these alternatives to expensive textbooks, and with the dedicated work of ASUI, we will be able to ensure that all students are able to afford the education we deserve.

Android Leftovers
| It’s raining i.MX 8M Plus systems-on-module at Embedded World 2021
NXP introduced i.MX 8M Plus AI SoC with a built-in 2.3 TOPS neural processing unit (NPU) last year, and we’ve already covered several early announcements about i.MX 8M Plus systems-on-module (SoM) with Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUS and DART-MX8M-PLUS, TechNexion EDM-G-IMX8M-PLUS and AXON-E-IMX8M-PLUS respectively using SO-DIMM edge connectors and board-to-board connectors, as well as SolidRun i.MX 8M Plus SoM that was announced together with the HummindBoard Mate carrier board with dual Gigabit Ethernet.
But as Embedded World 2021 Digital is taking place virtually until Friday, other companies have now made their own announcements of i.MX 8M Plus SoMs as the processor enters mass production this month, and since as far as I know, it’s pin-to-pin and software compatible with earlier i.MX 8M Nano/Mini SoCs, the update must have been easy. That means we’ve got a longish list of modules, and I have probably missed some. Supported operating systems are basically the same across companies with Linux using Builroot or the Yocto Project running on Cortex-A53 cores, and FreeRTOS on the real-time Cortex-M7 core. Some also offer Android support.
