Throw a paper into an LLM, then ask it questions on while reading it. It will expand all the acronyms for you, infact you can tell it to give you grounding text based on what you already know.

This is fundamentally the problem. Just like being able to send OTA updates has enshittified all software, having this magic shim layer that fixes hardware problems has enabled shit hardware, and then foisted all this complexity into the OS

Exactly. The lock analogy is flawed and a distraction. I made a local universe of how I think the world should be. I gave those people the respect I think we all deserve, and hopefully they stand up and do the same. Maybe they are in HR, or

You haven't made any quantitative statements. Low effort personal attack. Who is paying him here? From your comment, you can't even tell the topic, let alone the actual idea he is putting forth.

> quality assurance and debugging Saying the quiet part out loud. What kind of engineering org outsources this? 80% of engineering is confirming your design works, otherwise it is just LARPing.

What a poorly written article. I should delete my tests because they fail randomly. My tests don't fail randomly.

I have done about 75 coding interviews for big tech companies. I have told a fair number of people (around 10) that I would be submitting a no-hire, but then I went on to coach them for another 15 minutes on how they could improve. I never

I didn't say they were wasting their time on their hobby OS, they are wasting their time trying to get it to do very esoteric thing on GCP. They aren't trying to get reboot to work, they are trying to get their version of kexec to

The VMM on GCP has only really been tested with Linux. You are kinda wasting your time, the only way to make it work is to make the hobby OS Linux.

Afaik it was to interface with bit banged hardware that couldn't communicate at the faster rates. One would turn off turbo to print.

Instead of arguing about it, you people could have run an experiment and written a paper.

The original mission was to get kids into computing with a low cost board, something akin to the C64 back in the 80s. But apparently that is only as user and not as a creator. I'd argue that getting kids into computing at the hardware

Letting them have their own thunderdome is regulation. It means they don't get to pee in our pool. I am all for a freemarket, but it needs to be kept in a cage match.

Blue collar jobs are going to evaporate as the supply chain gets wedged. This like trying to lose weight by burning down the farms with napalm.

Idealists in the sense of a simplistic worldview. It is worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf-bSAnW_E0 but it itself is a somewhat simplistic take.

We need regulation around how VCs work. They are in a house flipping game and nothing more, slapping on a bad kitchen remodel and then handing the hot potato onto the next sucker.

Congress should be setting tariff rules. Regardless of your political philosophy, these tariffs will crash the economy and move innovation out of the US.

This is crazy, this means 10 years from now only terrorists will distribute software. Unacceptable! How many platforms now allow one to build and distribute a binary?

Could be garbage collection pauses. You could try wiping them again with zeros or doing a drive specific reset and see if the performance is normative.
