Spooks have been doing keynotes for a few years now. The so-called hackers are on toes, because deep down they wish to be daddy'd up to get to do some silly, secret-type shit. Contrary to the past, when spooks despised computer people

FWIW, investment is the name of the game in Linux development. If it takes a bunch of business to whip the old guard into place, so be it.

Is this a joke? Linus literally, and routinely, refers to other people's work as "garbage."

If the filesystem corrupts data, it has to be fixed at the maintainer's discretion. This is what the users want. Tough luck it makes Linus' life harder! Not to mention that he's allowed btrfs to run unchecked for so long. Ken

Yeah, like a hardcore porn flick right... I don't think so.

I think nothing will happen, and Linus himself will eventually be whipped into place. Kent has come a long way in terms of communications, and all this talk about preserving sacrament of "collaborative community of kernel dev" rea

What is this FUD or what? I read the thread in full, and removing bcachefs had only been suggested in view of otherwise regular bcachefs drama.

Your lack of philosophical education really shows! Linguistics does not "discover" anything; it's purely descriptive, and many philosophers of language in the Cambridge school have, indeed, rejected great bodies thereof. Do y

The fact you could do it, doesn't necessarily mean that you WOULD do it. In my experience, the kind of mitigation you're talking about is seldom enforced (except Cloudflare, perhaps, and pretty much anybody serious knows how to ge

I say, this is indeed the case in view of LLM lessons we have learnt along the way—most importantly, Wittgenstein had argued that in order to model language, you first need to model arbitrary discourses—this turned out to be the case (symbo

About 20% more power, provided perfect conversion. A lot? You tell me!

It could be the case that Wittgensteinians have won completely, and if that is, indeed, the case—a great chunk of academic ethics should be considered hubris...

The rage-baiters in this thread are merely fishing for excuses to go up against "the Machine," but honestly, widely off-mark when it comes to reality of crawling. This topic has been chewed to bits long before LLM's, but only

I had found Samsung 9100 NVMe to be a massive improvement, especially so at 4 TB as that more than doubled up the effective iops for random writes (vis-a-vis its massive 4 GB cache) I bought two for roughly 400 euro apiece. 9100 also suppos

What can I say, modern counterintel work is not a lot like le Carre of the past.

Well, believe it or not, CUDA fans only ever target NVIDIA systems... that's the whole point. However, EULA itself is completely besides the point.

Tenstorrent is often criticised for having lots of abstraction layers, compilers, IR's in the middle—it's all in C++, of course. GPU's are okay, but none of them got network-on-chip capability. Some promising papers have been

Have you considered post-GPU accelerators? For large-scale machine learning, TPU's have won, basically. There are new vendors like Tenstorrent offering completely new (and much simpler) computing hardware. GPU's may as well live o

I take it you're the maintainer. Firstly, congrats on the work done, for the open source people are a small crowd, and determination of Rust teams here is commendable. On the other hand, I'm struggling to see the unique value prop

What you allude to is not so much "fact," as the "heart" of the matter. The availability of AI tooling takes away nothing; you elect to either use it, or not. I personally hate having to deal with human editors! Most of

The mainstream writing assistants are dog-shite, but so is everything else! If your idea of writing with AI is ChatGPT and no harness, you're only making a statement about the largest common denominator of AI tooling—from a position of

Thanks for dissecting all this nonsense. Although in all honesty, we may as well be dealing with comedy here: green account, recommending PHP and Rails in 2025 as if that's supposed to solve anything... we're being trolled.

"Folks" as-in Rust stans, whom know very little about CUDA and what makes it nice in the first place, sure, but is there demand for Rust ports amongst actual CUDA programmers? I think not.
