'The more I see of what you call civilisation, the more highly I think of what you call savagery.'

  • The local 'OF stardom' won't register, or will just move abroad. The practice of their craft is not bound to any single location.

    Ukraine is not a serious country, nor are it's leaders serious people.

  • No, just another example that laws are for peyon proletarian poorfags. To the actual citizenry (large corporations) they are more of a suggestion or a guideline. US federal government just works to shaft the media and copyright holder megacorps in favour of the Ai megacorps, because rn the needs of AI megacorps are seens as more critical to the wider global future prospects of the community of corporate entities and global capital, which the American government represents.

  • Jesus. Every "Our autocorrect escaped it's sandbox and is gonna go skynet any second now" Is just scaremongering. Every time the tech CEOs go "we are looking into this. Oh and we can't relase our next model to the public because it's too powerful, and we need governmental limits on training." Why on earth would a CEO of for profit company say that, if they finally are that close to their mythical AGI that could make them trillions?

    The truth is that have hit a wall, they hit a wall years ago in training and inference and most AI progress has been just better harnesses and other auxiliary software and they are just bleeding money for every small gain that they make with training. They just can't admit to that, so they need the Uncle Sam to play the villain and "stop them or at least slow them from winning too much" so they have an excuse to not deliver what they know that they cannot. So they pull off these "our AI escaped it's sandbox, and caused virulent flame war on r/Europe and then proceeded to short some Kazakhstani corn futures. We barely stopped it when it was gnawing at Pentagon firewalls." type of stunts. If a single company says that they are slowing down development for safety (to stop bleeding money before it's too late) then their jig is up, they lose investors and go belly up with their debts in months. However if the whole field is frozen with a government mandate from on high, then the companies can stop bleeding money collectively. Maybe then the field and US economy can be saved from the AI bubble.

  • encoding/json/v2

    Do we need to add "/v2" behind every json import statement in every old codebase to future proof that shit or does plain encoding/json use the v2 systems under the hood? I understood that nothing should break with this version at least?

  • He is rich tho.

  • What stocks?

    All of them. Didn't you read that like 85% of US stockmarket growth in 2025 was about the "AI boom". They need people to think that this AI meme will actually work. AI is the floor that keeps US economy afloat rn, or at least illusion of normalcy.

  • This is a fucking stock manipulation ploy, just like every 'rogue agent' AI scare. The companies are not making promised advancement and their promised AGI dreams are dead. What better than to cook up an excuse that 'le ebil goberment' made us stop research than to face the investors who will ask what happened to all the money. Diffuse the stock bubble more slowly instead of a full on high speed crash.

  • What Linus is saying that LLM review is finding decades old esoteric bugs in the kernel code, like dirtyfrag. And the amount of bugfixes and mitigations are pushing the update sizes up. This is making the kernel more secure and stable in the long run. It will be just a rocky couple of years.

    they are NOT vibe coding the kernel.

  • You didn't read the article, did you?

  • idk, code was always written only once, but it will always be read many times. Writing code with LLM centric way and just focusing the high level gets hazardous pretty quickly, since somebody actually needs to understand the codebase deep down (or at least the relevant part) when something goes wrong. When you have 100k+ line codebase with multiple contributors with LLM it can very quickly turn into a black box, which nobody understand anything deep down anymore and everybody are more and more incentivized to use LLMs to interact with the thing to get anything real done. Then it's couple hallucinations away from turning into a fragile mess, where things break unexpected and nobody knows why.

  • Youtube and X is basically a private monopolies. They only care about the profit margins. Any and all extra expenditure to R&D or consumer satisfaction is just a cut to their profits today and since they don't have any real competition, so why raise quality of service above the bare minimum? Their only real selling point is that everybody uses them, so everybody will have to keep using them, if they want to be seen or access most things. they don't care if they serve slop, because you and me and the wider masses are going to eat it up anyway.

  • The bastard child of all marketing stunts...

    The whole US economy rests on the promise that their fancy autocorrect will become a god. Of course they will grab onto anything that they think will keep them afloat

  • it's really inefficient to pursue such a massive research endeavor if ASML was just normally open for business. To do all that work was only justified by it opening a chance in domestic semiconductor production which is the real price for China. Now they are probably also wanting to compete in DUV machines in the future, to recoup the development costs, even if the real price is the self-sufficiency that they bring.

  • ASML is a victim of US sanctions and Dutch/EU spinelessness. China would never had bothered to pursue lithography as serious as it did if US wasn't continuously trying to stop China on every technological front. The Europeans let US do it in the hope and under the promise that China would never succeed.

  • Doesn't change the fact that US stock market was already massively overpriced. Ai companies can't make good on the promises of astronomical profits, but neither can Apple. This is just lose less option, but now it's apple that is getting overvalued.

  • Slap "AI" into a business name or a plan and watch the investors roll in. It doesn't matter if it's a good idea on paper or not.

  • US soldiers are cowards, not brave risk takers or supersoldiers, but they don't need to looking how US fights. The whole myth (inflated, but not totally ungrounded) that even allow US military to even operate is the idea that they are so technologically ahead to everybody that nobody is in any actual risk of dying or getting hurt and military is just some field trip for poor kids to get college. I guess it's kinda of a bravery when your wars are all air campaigns and your bravest and most machho soldier is some F35 pilot firing standoff munitions to some school 200km away.

    When it comes to wars US has all the freedom to choose target countries, that it thinks are weak, softened by sanctions and intelligence undermining, and not ready to put up much of fight. It has always been this way, and US isolated geography gives them this freedom to pick their battles, US never needs to play defense or think about long term consequences, since "war" is always something happens to somebody else somewhere else. The same goes for political imperative of American wars, any amount of bodies that can been seen coming back in coffins is too much.

  • The defense department plans to offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to any service members who show low levels of the hormone.

    Lol, Us military is composed of the manliest of men, who are totally not insecure.

    Have they discovered that low T-levels are the cause in their performance against Iran? Also will retiring military personnel get bras as a farewell gift, since after a long career of TRT-treatment, their bodies can't produce any testosterone naturally?
