‘Why let mere mortals decide CPU priorities when the cosmos can guide us?’ asks the developer.

‘Why let mere mortals decide CPU priorities when the cosmos can guide us?’ asks the developer.

To be clear, the point of this is to demonstrate the power and flexibility of a new Linux feature in a “haha only serious” way.

Zampieri is clear that this GPL-2.0 licensed project is a “scientifically dubious, cosmically hilarious” work. It definitely isn’t recommended for use in production systems - not because of bugs, but because it works as intended… The dev is still looking to add “more cosmic chaos” to scx_horoscope, so contributors are welcome.

      I dunno about SlopGPT but I can absolutely believe he’d have a locally running LLM trained on nothing but religious texts or something

        There is a great concept in Transhumance Space where I-forget-which-flavour-of-religion has their members accept a companion AI that is trained on the scripture and will question/advise the believer’s decisions throughout their day. I’m quite surprised this one hasn’t come true yet, as we literally have all we need to do it right now!

      You’re right, I did realize that it’s a pretty offtopic and no value comment a short while after posting, but too late to go edit it out.

      Thanks for the video, Down the Rabitt Hole videos about EVE Online are my absolute favorites, so this will be a good watch.
