Well, sort of, but it was SOLD on hardware that couldn’t run it

That seems inefficient. Surely they know a cheaper weed dealer than I do

Minor notes, then we can begin implementation

Only systemd is in PID1, login, journal, etc are their own PIDs

Surely we’d use pipewired, not pulseaudiod

Graphics and system ram may be unified, so we need a RAMArbitord that is shared between the main kernel and DRM blocks

My cat has only ever torn up the couch, but a friend of mine has a cat that goes ham on their banister, and the wood is probably missing ~2 inches after a few years

“Facts that happened to be true” is such a ridiculous statement…

If it wasn’t true, it wouldn’t be a fact

Well, they at least rejected letting Apple release without “Trusted System Agent” and a pinky promise it would be implemented in a year and a half…

Claude 4.6 was doing shit like

extern char grid[5][5]

…

fgets(grid[i], 6, fp); grid[i][6] = '\0';

So, it’s the same answer as every other time I’ve tried to talk to people supporting AI…

If it didn’t work, I just I didn’t guide it enough, and if I did guide it, it’s a skill issue…

It is pretty hard to come up with an easier problem for it to solve for an example case

If it can’t output ~50 lines of code that is reasonably common from textbooks with one minor modification, I’m not clear what the benefit is

It’s certainly not faster

I already stated I kept prompting it for over 30 minutes and it still hadn’t fully completed the problem

Not OP, but I was pretty disappointed trying Claude 4.6

Prompted

Write a C program to find the longest word in a static 5x5 array of characters.

These characters shall be defined in a header file, you may allocate it with any letters for now

This program should find the longest word, using words available in a file at /usr/share/dict/words
This file will have one word per line

The rules of the longest word are that you may select the next letter in any direction from your current letter one character away, including diagonals

Any index may be the starting point, and you may not repeat a space on the grid

It did a breadth first search for the longest path, then checked if that longest path was a word, rather than checking each step, so it never found any words

When I asked it to fix that, it then opened and reread the entire dictionary for each character

Once I got it to fix that, I asked it to read the input array from a file, and after 30 minutes of asking it in different ways, it never managed to successfully read that file in

All in all, it took longer than just writing it myself, even for what I would call an interview question

Cars started becoming popular around 1885, and people started to change their mind (specifically because the vehicles improved massively, not just because they were wrong initially) in maybe 1910?

Tesla made them popular in what? 2017? so we should see enough improvements for widespread adoption by 2040

They promised one back in 2014.

I think 12 years is much longer than “soonish”

Its a pretty small prank when the recovery is git checkout HEAD@{1}

I will point out that when selling cadavars was legal, murders went up from people looking to cash in.

It would be difficult to ensure the dead actually died through accident or natural causes rather than having been killed for their meat.

They’re specifically talking about drones that are fly-by-wire

I don’t think anyone has invented a fiber optic cable with enough strength to stay attached for miles

While useful, you do have to be very close to the target to use this

That was Microsoft’s goal with Windows Phone and Windows 8, it just never took off

Ubuntu also tried (not sure if MS or Canonical was first)

At least with the vendors I’m referring to (2/3 that make all Android phones), they just took the open source code, hacked it up as quickly as possible to get some basic drivers working, and moved on.

There wasn’t any “special sauce” in the source, they just didn’t want to spend the effort to upstream it

Edit: Just because you said “hardware open source” I wasn’t advocating for open hardware, just for hardware vendors to, ya know, support the hardware

Linux phones try to build from upstream Linux, and the major phone SoC vendors HATE upstreaming their code.

They believe every character in their source code is absolutely top secret.

A middle ground I wish was considered more is taking Google’s kernel and the vendors DLKM partition/DTB/DTBO for hardware support, and putting a GNU userspace on top.

This has had problems in the past, because vendors would modify syscall tables such that they don’t match userspace anymore, but with GKI, I think we’re closer to that being a possibility

Just gotta go back to tri-channel
