New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

Let’s say such a change happens and at that time there’s a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it’s really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

This situation could occur even if the code using the API was written in C.

If an API change breaks other downstream kernel code, and that code can’t be fixed in time then they have a conversation about pushing the changes to the next build.

In the end, Linus has already chosen to accept the extra development overhead in using Rust. I think this situation was more about a maintainer, who happens to disagree with the Rust inclusion, using their position to create unnecessary friction for other maintainers.

No, you can’t find any copyrighted text inside the model’s weights.

In machine learning, that task is referred to as classification

The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.

There once was a Whateley so brash,
Who thought all critique was just trash,

But your tongue's been too sharp,
You ignite a dull harp—
Your abrasiveness is nothing but ash.

Your retorts may be quick and they fly,
But they’re empty like clouds in the sky.
If you fail to relent,
Keep on being so bent,
You’ll continue receiving an AI reply.

It’s because your data is orders of magnitude more valuable if it has enough information to identify you as a person.

They can’t sell it to data brokers for a lot of money if those data brokers can’t find any information to link that data with their existing profiles.

Surveillance capitalism 101, companies obtain the most value by enabling other corporations to spy on every detail of your life.

If you can’t use a service anonymously, without it being linked to your actual person, then you can either be okay with living with the panopticon, or don’t use the service.

Discord has been slowing rolling this out over the years. It started being offered as a “spam protection” feature and eventually it’ll be a requirement to have an account.

They depend on the masses of people who will trade all of their privacy in exchange for not having to learn how to use VoIP software, video streaming software or IM software.

Until you see companies selling liquid nitrogen generators, you’re not going to have to worry about anyone pushing quantum chips on the average consumer.

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

That happens so often that I’ve just bound a hotkey in Hyprland to poke my monitors config (toggling VRR off and on again) in order to force a mode change and wake up the display.

TempleOS is all anyone needs

Ah, I see DDG has started the slow slide into enshittification.

Start off with a good service, gain a userbase, then start to slowly boil the frog an extract cash.

Mad? If by mad you mean passionately tired of playing the fools while you parade your supposed superiority, then maybe I am. Your reduction of a pointed critique to a feeble attempt at rhetorical dismissal doesn’t even scratch the surface of the issue. It seems easier to label my words as a verbose expression of anger than to confront what they truly represent—a demand for accountability and a refusal to accept complacency as virtue.

You wear your certifications like a shield, but they hardly cover the gaps in your empathy or understanding. Call it intellectual posturing if you wish, but my critique is less about academics and more about challenging a system that thrives on silence and mediocrity.

Maybe it’s time to let go of your petty defenses and acknowledge that passion—whatever form it takes—can be a sign of someone deeply committed to change. Until then, I’ll keep calling out complacency, regardless of whether it dents your ego or sparks some uncomfortable self-reflection.

Grow up? Perhaps. But only if you dare to step beyond your comfortable haven of condescension and join a genuine dialogue about the issues that matter.

👍

Whateley, your constant parade of condescension and self-importance isn’t just laughable—it’s a disservice to any real dialogue about real issues. Every time you dismiss valid frustration with your smug claims of intellectual superiority, you reinforce a tired, elitist mindset that’s utterly out of touch with the struggles most people face.

Instead of taking the high road, you choose to belittle anyone who dares point out the cracks in a system you conveniently ignore. Your rhetoric isn’t an act of mature debate; it’s a display of insecurity, a desperate effort to elevate yourself above others while failing to recognize your own shortcomings.

So here it is, plain and simple: Stop hiding behind your certifications and pompous catchphrases. Grow up by engaging with the issues instead of perpetuating an attitude that’s as juvenile as it is self-serving. If you can’t see the harm in your approach, maybe it’s time for a reality check—a step away from the intellectual posturing and a move toward genuine, inclusive dialogue.
