That’s what passkeys do, but the experience of using them kinda sucks overall.

If you’re using security keys, you need 2 of them at a minimum to avoid being locked out of accounts. If you use e.g. an iPhone as the key, then you can sync them between your other Apple devices, but not export them to a Google device, you need to create a new passkey on the Google side for each site if you ever switch brands.

There’s others like multiple mouse cursors

Wayland has actually supported multiple seats from the beginning, it’s apps and DEs that don’t support it well.

If you think that’s bad, this flaw is rated a 22.

Back in the day people used Squid for that if they needed it.

Slack space for sector remapping maybe? Similar to SSDs being over provisioned.

And with partitions being offset 1MiB from the start of the drive (For alignment), the extra space would help preserve capacity anyway.

But seriously, why do I need GPU acceleration for my chat UI?

Because rendering things is quite literally the reason GPUs exist, it takes load off the CPU and is more efficient at it to boot.

I dont know if I’d call them forks, they’re more like unmerged branches.

Like the bulds with different schedulers, the only thing different about them is they include an extra module that’s not included by upstream, everything else is a 1:1 match for upstream, and follows closely.

I’d personally say the real-time kernel would come close to it, but even that was still roughly tracking upstream, and was merged in the end.

There’s a place near me that made amazing chicken parmigiana, pasta, and pizzas. Went back recently and they’ve replaced their entire menu with nonsense ai slop. Got a pizza anyway and it was awful, literally had a chunk of bone left in the toppings.

Yeah, he’s been like this for a while, here’s a choice quote of his from back in April.

Demanding to “speak to a human” solely because the bot is an AI may constitute robophobic exclusionary behaviour and will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately, at this point it’s effectively impossible to fork the kernel, there’s enough churn that any fork will very quickly go out of sync, and also the sheer amount of commercial backing Linux has won’t move over to a community oriented fork.

Any actual successful fork you’d see, is e.g. Google forking Android off entirely and stop contributing back upstream.

It fits at least, Mermaid itself is slop now too.

Yeah, they literally just had an rc of 6.18 that doesn’t compile.

Fable is out there finding bugs in these things

Ehh, that’s debatable. An LLM will gladly spit out a vulnerability report, but as LLMs lack any understanding or reasoning capability, there’s literally nothing guaranteeing that it has any semblance in fact or reality. They are just random text generators after all.

Going by Anthropic’s own numbers for things like Mythos, it “found” 29,439 vulnerabilities, when a human actually checked if the reports made any sense (ignoring validity) that dropped to around 6,200 reports, when they were tested for validity that further dropped to around 1,300 reports, and when it came time to actually patch the issues only 516 made the cut (i.e. the rest might have been issues, but weren’t considered exploitable, etc.).

516 out of 29,439 is a 1.75% success rate, not exactly groundbreaking.

Now to be fair, according to Greg KH at a recent talk, Mythos is seemingly improving. Of 79 vulnerabilities it reported, a solid 4 were real. That’s a 5% success rate, though it performed much better when it simply reported other developers bug fixes, something it did 11 times.

Rewriting the compiler itself will just… Generate the same JavaScript and be a bit faster, in a best case scenario.

They actually did just do a re-write of the compiler (in Go), and yep it was for speed.

He gets paid more than enough to afford high end hardware.

The sleep stuff is part of the ACPI standard, it’s all documented.

It’s up to the motherboard/SoC to support it properly, and Microsoft has an “entire system view” of how Windows works and can integrate it deeply. Compare that to Linux, the companies involved mostly care about servers, and the distros are assembled by disparate groups that don’t have the hardware testing capability that MS or OEMs have.

It has been wild to see Linux users hope that the GPL is rendered unenforceable.

You got a spare $80 million laying around to train one?

Corporate stuff and things like IoT devices were already exempt from the law, they didn’t need any changes.

It’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, physics was never invited in this story.
