I don't understand why the UIs don't make this obvious. When the model runs code, why can't the system just show us the code and its output, in a special UI widget that the model can't generate any other way? Then if it

Hmm I dunnno I think a) If you are having to do busywork for compliance reasons, you are either disempowered to push back on bullshit work (case A above, unfortunate, but your job was gonna suck anyway), or it's not really a second ord

Yeah, most businesses need window cleaners too. If you're a window cleaner and you complain about all the birds shitting on windows, I dunno what to tell ya. If you're working in compliance either A) you're stuck in your comp

At first I thought it was useless: "but each ISA will still end up having different effective syntax because the underlying macro systems will not be designed the same". But then I reread it and realised I was not paying attention

As an active consumer of CVEs: yea there are major problems. No there's nothing better and no I don't have any better ideas. The scores are mostly useless, I would not care if they disappeared, I do not look at them. I don't

Yeah I recently put together a home NAS and was dismayed that I had to use Docker Compose. (There's podman-compose but it's... incomplete). Immediately after I finished the project I discovered the Quadlet thing! Seems like the us

If you found this useful it's probably worth taking a look at bpftrace. There's a pretty wide range of different tracing infrastructure in the kernel and bpftrace is just one single tool that lets you interact with all of it, in a

Well, Google is also very well placed to integrate with other products that have big market share. So far this has been nothing but a PM wankfest but if Gemini-in-{Gmail,Meet,Docs,etc} actually gets useful, it could be a big deal. I also do

No their "real" backend is proprietary. Headscale is a separate implementation that they also maintain. It's intended for self-hosting your individual Tailnet. I'm assuming if you tried to use it as a corporate VPN you w

I think Swiss plugs (type C) might be better. They have a pretty good thonk. I think your complaint with them is that they stick out perpendicularly from the wall but IMO this is a good tradeoff. It means you can fit more plugs in the same

Ah I didn't know about that. So you can block the child from creating a userns completely... That seems like an unnecessarily big hammer, but also probably 95% of cases works fine? I think probably we want an inherited mask of what cap

I think in the upstream kernel LSMs are also still the only way to prevent a process from creating child namespaces where it has privileges? E.g. if you can cat CAP_NET_ADMIN even within a restricted namespace, you have access to huge amoun

This article really fails to explain anything. Headline just makes a statement then the text waffles on without actually making any arguments to support that statement. So basically from the paper I think they are saying there is morphologi

Yes you can also just put your video on a DVD and bury it in the garden. But usually the reason they want their videos to be free is that they have a message they want to communicate! If you want people to watch your video you don't ha

I use b4, it largely solves sending code. It doesn't help with reviews though. (b4 shazam makes the manual application of patches to prepare a git-range-diff a bit easier but it's still basically a half baked process. It's fu

Yeah exactly. I can format an email. I can dig a hole in the ground to do a shit, but I prefer to use a toilet. Doesn't mean I can't dig holes. If you want to deliberately exclude new developers (which is a stupid thing to want),

No there are no standardised tools. There is Patchwork which can help with managing the review workload and can also provide some CI feedback, some subsystems use that with some succcess, other's don't. It's not really someth

It doesn't work smoothly for Linux kernel folks. It's a huge pain in the arse to review code. Some subprojects have CI but mostly it's too much work to set it up. You never know if the code that gets merged is truly what got

There's no way it's not a factor. 12 months ago I hated Musk but it would only have had a limited impact on my car choice, I'd still definitely look at Teslas as an option. Now he's taken over a foreign government to pur
