My thoughts on work, open source and occasional rants about world affairs. When in doubt, turn it inside out. Also on Mastodon: @[email protected]

Every single one of the 11 Meta superintelligence hires is an immigrant who did their undergrad abroad. 7 China, 1 India, 1 Australia, 1 UK, 1 South Africa. 8 are PhD or PhD dropouts in the US. Immigration is key to US AI innovation.

A bit late to the party, but I really think #GitLab is a very nice alternative to #GitHub. The user interface feels a lot simpler and intuitive, and the free repository limit of 10GB/repo is 5x that of GitHub. A kernel repo is >2GB with history. Iโ€™ll continue to use both though.

It is my honor to be designated as Godfather of the 2025 Kernel Recipes. The conference organizers asked me to help increase the speaking skills of the presenters. This blog series is a first step in that direction: people.kernel.org/paulmck/kernelโ€ฆ

This is safety beyond the usual unsafe memory access protections and is more than welcomed and fascinating! Especially since issues are caught much earlier at compile time! 2/

Iโ€™m fascinated that rust lang couples synchronization primitive types with structures they protect thus allowing for common programming mistakes to be caught at compile time! (ex, dropping a lock too early or holding wrong lock like rwlock in read mode during mutations). 1/

I tried my hand at the sport of curling yesterday. The instructor quickly noted my distinctive personal style comprising strong elements of brute force, awkwardness, and beginner's luck. ;-)

@derkling Further I think if you look deeper into it, Trump has been a strong Israeli supporter. So that should be another reason to not elect him if that was your reason (other than him being a convicted felon and racist)

The way the USA defends its interests abroad certainly warrants more reflection and critical analysis. Warning Israel while simultaneously supplying weapons and contribute to the deaths of 40,000 doesnโ€™t appear a sound approach and cannot be justified. #Israel_War_On_Civilians
Joel Fernandes ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ@joel_linux

@derkling I think democrats like Chuck Schumer and even Biden have pushed back on Israelโ€™s war. You wonโ€™t see that from Trump. Itโ€™s not as simple as โ€œarming war criminalsโ€, the Middle East is quite complicated (e.g. supporting Israel ensures Iran which is a US enemy is at bay). #Harris

@derkling The issue you are describing has nothing much to do with my initial tweet though. Iโ€™m talking about presidential election. Funding for Israel etc is approved by congress. You are talking about the US position on this issue which the election doesnโ€™t have much direct bearing on.

The ourouborous has begun. Wikipedia is an important source of training data for AIs. At least 5% of new Wikipedia articles in August were AI generated (To be clear, this does not mean that AI will fail as it trains on its own data, synthetic data is already a part of training)
