@nprofile1q... The reason I'm asking is because I'm a little burned out from announcements like this that don't necessarily result in things getting better for affected projects. Red Hat isn't the first to put out stuff like this, so I am hoping that there's something you know that indicates that it's *real* this time.

@nprofile1q... Are there people actively getting committed to engaging in projects then? Like, where people not only identify flaws but submit fixes and such? We all know how overloaded everyone is getting with the AI deluge, so it'd be nice to have clarity that this isn't adding to that.

@nprofile1q... So, does any of this Lightwell work translate into helping out open source projects that this winds up covering? There seems to be a lot of fluff in the presser and the product page, so I can't tell what it actually *does*.

@nprofile1q... When will AArch64 images be made available? That's the real kicker, since the lack of nested virtualization for ARM makes it impossible to work around deficiencies in the existing runner machines.

It also seems like these can't be used with standard public runners that most FOSS projects have?

@nprofile1q... That... doesn't actually seem to be true? At least as of 2024, AMD has done as well (and in some cases, better) than Apple.

What *is* difficult is getting software engineers motivated to take advantage of the technology to maximize that performance-per-watt.
