A human being is not capable of being a passive question answering oracle. All humans have free will, intent, and bias in what questions they answer and how they answer it. Again, if your analogy requires me to treat a human being and a mac

I don't disagree that the loader and the libc should be decoupled, but it's not as simple a split as you're making it out to be. The reason they're tightly coupled is because there needs to be a bridge between Sys-V ELF

Any analogy that requires me to treat a machine as I would a conscious human is immediately invalid. The machine is not a person and has no intent or free will, like a human does.

I don't think a firm of people whose minds are weak to coercion experiencing shared psychosis caused by their text predictor models is AI "taking over" that firm.

Unless you use musl-gcc which is a proper GCC frontend with musl libc sysroot. The compiler is indeed (too) tightly coupled to its sysroot but linux is not special here. If anything interacts with the CRT it needs to know which CRT to use.

Why? If you compile your program against an older glibc it will run on newer glibc. glibc is the loader.

That's what I'm saying though, glibc-linked binaries are forwards (but not backwards) compatible.

The interpreter/loader is glibc and a key part of bootstrapping an executable built against glibc is loading libc itself before continuing on to load the program. Versioning is a problem when distributing binaries linked against a ne

> all shared libraries depend on the specific glibc version to load them Not really, though. glibc uses symbol versions that are forward but not backward compatible. If you got an error that said "this program was built for a newer

I'm curious what the limiting factor is for "years not months" when building these fabs. DRAM is a commodity, there are only threeish major manufacturers, all have huge amounts of capital, multiple nations bend over backwards

Data centers directly led to my rates increasing over the last ~6 months where several came online locally without supply increasing. Natural gas prices also impacted it, but the data center buildout over the last year has not helped. That

How much more value did those commits create than in 2025? But that discards my point, which is that you should probably have been prevented from pushing all those to github unless you were paying them for it, but you weren't because t

Rust binaries are not static by default, they _statically link other crates_ by default. Subtle but important distinction.

I mean I get that novice programmers might get tripped up on floating point representation but if you don't know "f32 can't represent 0.1 exactly" then you shouldn't yet be worried about the nuance of relaxing IEEE

The one thing that falls over is that the webhooks are actually self modifying code since you have an 'on commit' webhook that bootstraps the actions logic from the workflow.yaml file(s) (which are not really config files, they ha
