- HacklesRaised parentOnly Srouji would be a real loss. Not that they wouldn't feel the loss of the others, but more of a 'never mind' than an 'oh no'.
- Is it AI, or is it being run by people entirely divorced from the founder's vision?
- Isn't he one of the first ass clowns to start laying people off, replaced by AI.
Another empty suit.
- But we should be concerned shouldn't we? These people are exempt from laws, they and their presecessors made, for which they will happily condemn the common person and profit again when you pay for your crime.
They should be more accountable, not less.
- This is the way...
- AI is a net negative fnyor anyone not in on the grift.
- I suppose it's the problem with AI in general. It's an interesting technology looking for a business model that just isn't there, at least not one that comes even close to justifying the cost.
I hate the fact that it has sucked all the oxygen from the room and enabled an entirely new cadre of grifters all of whom will escape accountability when it unfolds.
- Noooooooooo
- Enshittification doesn't just happen to products!!
Who TF thought this was a good idea?
Deliver a first class, lean operating system and then layer user space enhancements as requested.
Are they trying to make Linux desktop happen?
I'd encourage people to consider Chromebooks but I'm not sure Google deserves any more praise.
- I don't disagree but I'll take a marginal improvement over none.
- I'm not saying Steve Jobs is turning in his grave, i'm saying it's like Cirque de Soleil in there.
There are far too few people who truly advocate for the user, and it is this dereliction that has fuelled the race to the bottom.
It's not a matter of native libraries versus x-platform solutions versus W3, it's about valuing UX over DX at EVERY TURN. It's about educating yourself as to the resource and performance consequence of the technologies you are advocating for.
- Yes, provided the performance is sustainable rather than making a number this qtr or next.
- to quote hot fuzz
"don't go being a twat now!" - Big ups for mentioning KAGI
- It can't be perfect right? I mean the models require some level of entropy?
- hard for me to argue with your point but if the understanding is that cancellation causes early return of the function, then i suppose the signature is, eerrr, consistent?
- To the extent that it will affect ONLY my opinion of the language I reserve judgement, but prima facie, I'm a little worried that this will prove to be a distraction.
If the language didn't have a std implementation of async/await, would it affect your decision to use Xig? Or are you comfortable with traditional multithreaded facilities to the extent that you require concurrency (and parallelism)?
- I always wonder if the people responsible for the over-hiring are on the block? My personal experience suggests not.
- This seems counter intuitive.
All nflix da should require is the interfaces outer needs.
Network stack CODECS CRYPTO stack (DRM)
The OS seems irrelevant.
I mean sure you worked be limited to whatever interface a browser could provide.
It's not as if certification of a certain operating system means anything other than the certificate.
Netflix used play4sure beck in my days at Apple, and literally t out was a tick box for them to assure the content owners they had DRM.
Nobody certified apple's netflix app for ATV back then, I know, Ben Lee and I wrote it...
We desperately need OS research, exokernels should be a thing by now, at least then the question becomes moot.
Windows, (alphabet)OS, Linux and BSD all provide operating systems that enable productive work but there's a lot of cruft
- Delusional asshats trying to draft the grift?
- One starts to wonder whether the LLM vendors laissez-faire approach to the legality of ingesting copyrighted / licensed material will start to infect the industry in general?
- Rum, sodomy and the lash, there's no other way. Yarrrggghh!!
- Chasing relevance?
Hopefully they will arrive at a fully fleshed out product just as the world wakes up to the grift.
- Surely at this point people should be demanding of Altman "Show don't tell".
- Checks out that this is a government deal, crappiest vehicle possible for the most money!!
- Seems like you dodged a bullet.
- It is a quandry, the kernel is predominantly C, Rust has demonstrated a path forward, producing safer code without sacrificing performance, but it is undeniable that a mixed code base is far harder to maintain, not impossible.
Here's the thing, in the next couple of years languages like Carbon, Zig, even Jai, will come of age. They will have their proponents and people who want to introduce them into kernel code.
If there is a rust developer out there who doesn't resist the introduction of these languages as ardently as the chosen people (C) are resisting rust, then I will show you someone who lives in some kind of alternate reality.
Personally, I'd be pressuring the C committee to introduce defer, tout suite, otherwise Zig looks favourite. But the reality is that your preferred language is just that, your preferred language, most have seen this drama before and will choose not to participate.
As to whether Linus is failing in his leadership role? Nah, Then again, I wish Sony would open source the PS OS and we can be done with this juvenile debate as to which OS should rule the world. Either that or let's have an exokernal and move on from this monololithic story, surely that would meet the needs of the MY FAVOURITE LANGUAGE isn't appreciated crowd!!
- To be fair we are talking about an area of the country that is prone to seismic activity, it does limit the building materials.
Perhaps what should be more commonly accepted is that the US is a land of great natural beauty! And large tracts of it should be left to nature.
What's the average monthly leccy bill in Phoenix during the summer? $400?
Where does LA get most of its water? Local sources? I don't think that's the case.
New Orleans is a future Atlantis.
San Francisco is a city built by Monty Python. Don't build it there it'll fall down, but I built it anyway, and it fell down, so I built it again...
