    On Tuesday, he submitted a 10-patch series that delivered a 23-fold throughput improvement in a synthetic benchmark Impressive, probably kind of like I can answer math questions very very fast. Reviewers have since identified a race condition and raised concerns about memory reclamation. That what I thought, I can answer math questions fast, but I don’t claim to be able to answer them correctly.

    Torvalds had spent 18 months running a broken version of his own fix for the page-cache reference-counting bottleneck, while other developers had encountered problems with their approaches. The new patches eliminate folio reference-count operations from a common buffered-read path, although Torvalds warned that the benchmark gains would be considerably smaller in real-world workloads. You know how in star trek or other shows with scripts, how the writers used to just put like or something

    I think people who use and defend ai use as professionals are pick-mes and have shitty/broken moral compasses.

    This guy not too long ago chewed out people who vibe-coded an old kernel bug back in. Look at him now. Look how far he’s falling…

    Forking the Kernel to get it away from him is now a matter of national security
