This take on LLMs that "Torvalds and the maintainers are acknowledging reality: developers are going to use AI tools to code faster, and trying to ban them is like trying to ban a specific brand of ke...

@nprofile1q... I read the news about this with an air of "oh look, another 'LLM AI is evitable so lets give in' policy 'choice'.."

I guess unlike Crypto, NFTs and the 'metaverse' the Bros finally got the messaging right on this one to get everyone to buy in.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Cooling is, yeah, Scott Manley has a video on it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80 ) which is pretty informative.

Radiation is also not a huge issue - these things are planned for low earth orbit, so plenty of shielding from the earth's magnetic field. Same domain as the ISS in that regard.

(None of this is me saying its a good idea, if nothing else all those satellites would wreck the night sky for astronomy, more so than is already being done 😞 )

@nprofile1q... I remember, pre-pandemic, when there was a discussion about Sustained Engineering taking ownership of BiRP as part of the sunsetting of it (aka, Ya Boi here being in charge of changes/fixes landing).

On reflection Late Gen-X/Early Millennials have had such a weird experience;
- Born at the right time to age into computers in the home
- learnt how they worked because you had to know things like file systems etc
- Got to experience the internet in its more wild and free state

and now get to watch as the internet locks down, as devices lock down, and the 'home computer' goes away replaced by "Devices", with cost increases due to AI really killing it off.

Such a weird 40/50 years 🤔
