602·2 days agoIs this the one where the LLM generated code introduced some severe bug (memory leak or buffer overflow or something), then Linus went on vacation and another dude cleaned it up?
https://lkml.iu.edu/2610.1/13698.html afaik
If yes, then it annoys me that the articles on this are so biased. Because it actually shows the middle ground reality of using LLMs in development instead of the utopia/dystopia extreme views we keep seing online.
What if my site fits multiple, non overlapping call locations from the open catalogue system?
Do I add it multiple times?
1·8 days agoDepends on the tech stack, some come with basically a simple declaration like “run this bit on the server” and everything else happens in the frontend. But yeah, haven’t seen it for high performance stuff like rt gaming.
Huh? Your computer literally downloads the html, css and js/wasm of a web app and you can look at it with your eyes and read it.
Oh … you mean serverside?
Well, it doesn’t need to be a web app then. It can be an authoritative server and a regulat old client app (like path of exile for example)
I’m for being against LLM, but I am also for using logically sound arguments. I find a far better argument against using it as a developer is: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872 (tldr: thinking is good actually!)
Some logical fallacies I see in that writeup:
- Gerrymandered definition
- False dichotomy
- Strawman
- Slippery slope
- Appeal to authority
I won’t go into all of thwm cause most are boring and I’m typing this on my phone. But here is some of my thinking.
This one irks me personally the most:
“As a lifelong tool builder and user, I know what tools are.” This is an irrelevant conclusion. Expertise in building tools doesn’t settle a definitional question, and the essays argument still has to stand on its own criteria.
For now, lets accept his definition of a tool and some of the arguments he uses and apply them to some other aspects of computing:
A computer is not held in the hand in any meaningful sense, transmits none of your force, and involves no continuous direction. You enter an expression and it “acts on its own.” By Hickey’s definition, a comouter is “automation for avoiding arithmetic.” or “automation for decoding a binary stream from the internet wire and rendering it in your own mind as a website”. Nobody that uses computers has hesitated to call it a tool for computation. And nobody thinks it makes the user less of a professional while using them.
Lets do another one, closer to the topic of programming: A compiler. You hand it a human readable detailed description of a program (source code), it acts entirely on its own, and under Hickey’s logic it is “automation for avoiding translating to machine code.” Yet the compiler is the pardigmatic programmer’s tool, and nobody claims programmers who use compilers failed to learn programming. If “acts on its own after a request” disqualifies an LLM, it disqualifies half the toolchain that built the software the essay was presumably written in.
And as a bonus, programmers usually don’t even read the output of the compiler to verify it’s correctness! See: Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/358198.358210
I’ve been looking for the same for a decade, but not very actively lately. And I still don’t know of anything ready made and working without a fuss. Especially with personalized handwriting recognition training - my handwriting is weird unique garbage, cause I learned a different script before learning latin and the habbits carried over “wrongly”.
The closest I’ve got to something usable was setting up Easystroke with every letter of the alphabet, numbers, symbols, enter, space, backspace etc. But the result was clunky, cause you have to write every symbol one by one and enter the spaces by drawing a ⎵
I don’t even know if easystoke would work on wayland. I did this so long ago, there was no wayland in any DE.
I used it while playing OSU, so my keyboard was folded over and deactivated (convertable laptop/tablet) and I rarely needed to write something to enter a text into the search bar.

I was very happy with bambu lab as a beginner. It’s a good price and it’s super easy to use.
As I became an enthusiast, I noticed that bambu is kinda like apple. They hold your hand and don’t let go, they want you to use their printer in a way they tell you to and any other way is met with constant friction. I feel like I want something as good, but more open and flexible and diy nowadays.
A friend of mine got some other printer at the same time (i don’t remember the company, something new and chinese) and he had way more trouble with it and then bounced off.
But again - for a beginner the Bambu experience is perfect.

we don’t blame you if you’re feeling burnt out. If keeping up with the latest and greatest in the tech world has been difficult for you
This year, we’re finding survey respondents are less happy in their work … All that innovation and uncertainty can make it tough to feel comfortable in your job.
Next level gaslighting. People are not unhappy due to not being able to keep up or due to innovation. They are unhappy because the managers want to fire everybody and replace them with an LLM.
Reading the title I thought you want to set up an analogue radio station and got all excited.
14·13 days agoWhat about flooding it with fake bugfixes of even real ones tgat create two bugs elsewhere?
I imagine millions of $ yet I only get about 3K per month.
idk man, I use grayjay without a google account and it just works.

The only thing I cared about was RAM amount cause I have some beefier things I wanted to run (multiple game servers that need 8-16gb ram each etc.) and that was the most affordable option.
Without storage, maybe thats the reason for the cheaper price, but luckily I had some 1tb NVMEs hoarded from the before times.
It has some linux problems, like I couldn’t make the NPU be usable, even though I used the ubuntu image that is supposed to support it, but those issues don’t matter for my usecase
I don’t think it’s availabke anymore: minisforum ms-r1
(sorry, I thought by “that” you meant my comment or the content of the link or something else)
As far as I understand, Linus did an LLM assisted coding session that resulted in code with a race condition. But to what extend he or the LLM is specifically responsibe for the bug, we don’t know because he didn’t share the session, only the result.
