I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
It seems that after the initial AI-generated patches there’s been good discussion amongst the kernel devs about sorting out the issues, and a few revisions already that have tidied things up a bit.
So if after all that there ends up being a good performance improvement directly from a revised AI-created patch, what do I do with my pitchfork? Still raised angrily? Half-mast? Do I just let the torch smoulder?
Nice! Although I do wish everyone would get with IPV6 at some stage. But it seems everyone is OK with the current coping mechanisms in IPV4, so maybe I should pin my hopes on IPV7 or 8.
So why should they apply air gapping to their agents?
Because if they don’t, they could face jail time personally or their company is fined to death? That’s how you apply corrective pressure to those thinking about “going rogue”.
~$ groups crank0271 docker
~$ docker run -rm…
No joke, this is exactly what LLMs will do if they can’t do something directly.
Most ISPs charge insane fees for static IPs
The joy of living in the US I guess. My ISP in Australia charges $5 a month for a static IPV4 address.
There may have to be fundamental engineering breakthroughs before what these systems do can be more than a very expensive and inefficient worldwide proof of concept.
Controversial thought after reading this sentence: It’s cryptocoins all over again.
What are you expecting to break down? A modern internal combustion engine plus continuously variable transmission is one the world’s most complex pieces of engineering in common use today.
An electric drive system is trivial in comparison.
WinXP ran quite nicely on 4GB of RAM. You could boot to the desktop in under 5 seconds if you had a solid state drive.
All the day to day tasks someone needs to do with their computers haven’t materially changed in the last twenty years since XP held the crown. In that time the speed of processors, storage, gpus, and ram has increased by literal orders of magnitude.
And yet, somehow, things have become much shittier since then.
Once there is enough adoption, expect token costs to skyrocket and advertising enshitifaction to accelerate
Models on local hardware that give adequate performance and the availability of non-US models mean that path is doomed to failure. If they crank up the price then people will look elsewhere. While they might not get frontier-level performance out of the alternatives, there’s plenty of stuff out there that’s good enough for 1/4 to 1/10th of the cost. Or just the cost of power, if you’re willing to pay for some hardware and are operating on a small scale.
The only play the AI companies have got now is twofold :
And then what? The rest of the world will just move on to the next most useful thing on the list. There will be ~330 million US citizens to extract wealth out of, to service trillions in data centre debt. That shit’s not gonna fly.
All they need to do is get governments high on AI mass surveillance and they’ll be golden
All they have to do is be the last AI company standing, then just absorb everyone else’s hardware for cents on the dollar.
This recent “we should slow down” talk is basically just them stalling until the collapse. They’ve spent all they dare to try and be the one on top, now it’s just waiting until the bubble pops.
Meanwhile China is out there being the black swan of the whole field. If they manage to get models with efficiency and/or utility above what these guys are doing, they’re fucked and they know it. So it’s a ticking time bomb, and there’s not that much time left.
Jesus Christ, Julia. Why is it that, in all these online ramblings, you never learned how to drip-feed your blog posts?
One a day, maybe. Don’t blow through them all at once like some desperate gambler trying to strike it rich. Now all you’ve done is gotten yourself onto a bunch of people’s blocklists and now you’ll never be visible to them again.

“This just in - running commands that induce a kernel panic causes a kernel panic, we’ll have more at 11.”
The QR code is pretty dense , probably plenty of space to include the panic reason and stack trace.
Edit: For those of you that don’t know, exiting or crashing the init process (PID 1) causes the kernel to panic. Essentially it’s the, “Well what the hell do I do now if I have no processes to serve?” response.
Still, a QR code is a marked improvement on the “Something went wrong :(” message of recent Windows releases.
So if your phone is hot it could be:
How is this, in any way, useful information?
To quote a famous line from Billy Madison: “Everyone is this room is now dumber for having listened to it.”
English is rather notorious for having these phrases
English is essentially just a whole bunch of corner cases that its speakers agree on. Mostly.
I have a QNAP box at home, with Forgejo running as a container on it. It’s pretty much a standard docker install straight from Forgejo’s repository. It can run tests and a build on each push, which is not strictly necessary, but nice. Took me about half an hour to setup Forgejo, and about 4 hours of swearing setting up CI for a few repos, because I’ve never done it before.
This doesn’t easily scale to a whole organisation’s worth of repos like OP wants, but it easily fits a small business/single dev situation.
There’s some sort of electrolytic process similar to aluminium available, but yes the reaction that turns iron ore into iron is:
Iron oxide + carbon monoxide + heat ->
A redox reaction where oxygen atoms are transferred from iron oxide to carbon monoxide ->
Iron + CO2.
Heat and CO is conveniently provided by burning coal/coke in a blast furnace in the presence of a lot of oxygen.
You can pretty much just chuck layers of coke and iron ore in the top of your blast furnace, pump high pressure oxygen into the centre, and get molten iron straight out the bottom.
And even the claim that slowing the car down to lower speeds is causing safety issues honestly, is a fairly sketchy one…
They had knowledge of the car’s position, and could turn on valet mode which limits speed to 40kmhr.
So you’re on a busy Australian motorway doing 110km/hr in the middle lane. Your ex sees that and turns on valet mode. That’s a quick way to get rear ended by an inattentive driver of a car or truck behind you. At the very least, you’ll cause significant chaos as you try and get over to the side of the road.
“We value your privacy”
They value it alright. Like how an oil company can “value” an oilfield - so much untapped resources, just sitting there waiting to be exploited.
Just because we stumbled through a whole bunch of world-ending things in the past mostly unscathed doesn’t mean we’ll continue to do so.
